 Efficient use of space April 16, 2006
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
I've owned mine for about 8 months. It was my first camera bag, so not much to compare it to, but I've been happy with it. It holds my 30D, 17-40/L, 70-200/L4, 100/2.8 macro, 50/1.8 II, and 550EX, along with the usual miscellaneous stuff, without problem. I could probably sneak in another small lens, but I consider it to be about good and full at this point. That said, it is nice and compact. It is an extremely efficient use of space. Material is high quality, but we're talking about a Lowepro, so no surprise there.
I can't say that I actually "sling" it around much. I typically have it on a surface, off my shoulder, when I want to access it. I probably gave up too soon trying to use it that way but I haven't been in conditions where it was necessary either (originally bought it for Costa Rica and was a bit frustrated with using it on my shoulder). Having it in Costa Rica, that built in rain cover sure came in handy.
I'm about to get a 24-105 lens, so I am looking for a bigger bag, but I'll certainly hang onto the 200AW for when I don't need to tote absolutely everything around.
Question April 12, 2006

I am thinking about getting this bag. But I have a question ebfore I buy it: can I attach a monopod or tripod on to this bag (outside of the bag)?
Awesome bag! March 29, 2006

I bought this bag to use as my daily carry-all bag for my Sony H-1with teleconverter lens and wide angle lens. I also needed room to carry my older (i.e. larger) Sony Hi-8 Camcorder with extra-large battery and accessories for that. This bag carries everything I need, with room to spare! It is very comfortable to carry and seems to be adjustable for most any body type.
I love the convenience of being able to comfortably carry it on my back all day, and being able to swing it around to the front without having to remove the bag to access my equipment.
I carried it through Vegas last week, and had a couple of instances where I needed to grab a quick shot. I was so fortunate that I had this bag; otherwise I might have missed the opportunity to photograph two American Idol contestants (Bucky and Elliot!) walking through the Las Vegas Hilton. I felt like a stalkarazzi when I was able to literally whip out my camera and grab some quick shots before they left the area. Later that day, we also saw Pete Rose; I got some quick shots of him as well.
This bag, to date, has served me very well. I love all the compartments and areas to store my photography necessities. I also love the quick and easy access to the main compartment for my equipment. This bag was designed with photographers in mind! I anticipate a long and happy relationship.
great bag, small and ultra portable March 28, 2006

I tried out a bunch of other camera bags before purchasing the Lowepro for a ski trip. The bag fit perfectly and didn't shift around as I skiied. The side zipper made for quick and easy access to my camera and lenses in the cold. The all-weather cover (in a hidden bottom velcro comartment) was a welcome addition in heavy snow, and now in the Sprin rains. Superb craftmanship. I would absolutly buy another Lowepro bag.
 a good idea, but uncomfortable March 8, 2006

I love the LOWEPRO brand - I have another one of their tiny camera bags and it's just great, so I was really excited by this idea. Everything fit in the bag (the 100 is too small for many people), so that wasn't the problem. It opened up very quickly and easily, and the overall design seemed great. Well padded. The shift from shoulder to front position was fairly easy too. So far so good. The problem was that the bag simply wasn't comfortable. I tried everything, but it just didn't seem to sit right on my shoulder. I'm 6'1 and 170 lbs, most everything fits just right. But this just hurt my back after a few minutes, I couldn't imagine the horror of taking it on an all day hike.
I returned it and got a Crumpler bag instead, and I'm SO glad I did. Crumplers are a bit harder to find, since they're an australian brand, but I had heard really great things about them. In the end, I got a bag for the same price that not only looked a lot cooler (and not like a camera bag) it was better padded, extremely comfortable, held just the same amount of gear, and was the same size. Do yourself a favor and look into Crumpler before you try. That and LowePro (for everything except this one bag) are my two new favorites.
