I carry around a 70-200 F4 as well most of the time when traveling, nice lightweight with a great light touch zoom ring for finger control when the action picks up. Much preferred weight wise than the bigger faster zoom; I have a few primes if I need to go fast in that range.
My favourite walkabout kit is a Think Tank Photo Retrospective 7 Shoulder Bag Just big enough to stuff one DSLR with the 70-200 f4 & another DSLR mounted with a 10-24 zoom and a spare prime lens or 2 in the middle. Love this bag! I mount a BS-3 or BS-2 shoe cover on both cameras in case they bump into each other, as a bonus the BS-2 keeps the pop up flash down on a D7xxx.

I have a couple of decades old bags. My favorite is a Lowepro Runner 200 AW. It's deceptively compact, but will hold a Dxxxx or xxx (without a grip) with 24-85 mounted, a 70-200 f4 or 2.8, another lens (e.g. 105 2.8 macro) or 2 (wide angle MF) or one additional lens and a flash (or maybe another body-I haven't tried), plus all the other photo stuff I usually need (spare batteries for camera and flash, charger, mem card case, rear lens and body caps, filters if any, remote shutter control, and other stuff that I can't remember).
It's been discontinued for whatever LP's flavor of the month is, but I don't see myself replacing it. Have to say though, Think Tank makes some really nice bags.
