 FastPack is Awesome!! June 1, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have had this bag for only a day now and I have to say it's awesome. it's camera gear compartment fits my current EOS 40D with Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras attached plus my Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras, my 430EX flashgun and two more lenses.
It's comfortable to carry and walk around in, but it does get a bit uncomfortable when you have the laptop with you during long walks, but I guess that is to be expected with such backpacks.
It may not be everyone's cup of tea, especially for Photographers who want to carry a lot of gear around. But I also like the easy camera side access, which for me was this bag's selling point. I can reach in and pull out my 40D with complete ease.
Great bag if you're considering it and you have about the same gear I do.
Great pack. Tons of space May 28, 2008

This is a great pack. TONS of space. The DOWN side, is that I want to fill up all the space, which makes it very heavy. Though, it packs EVERYTHING I have for photography. Great for long treks. I am looking at getting a smaller version for carrying the camera and a lens only, and save some weight. But, if you need a pack to literally, CARRY IT ALL, this is it.
 Disappointed in Lowepro May 13, 2008

I have enjoyed using a Lowepro camera only bag for several years. So now when I required a PC/Camera bag the natural choice was again a Lowepro. I bought the Fastback 350. Unfortunately I'm afraid that was a big mistake. There is a lot less Velcro loop in the main camera compartment so there is virtually no flexibility in parition layout. The side opening makes me worry that my camera will slide out, if the bag is opened when lying on it's back, it's most stable position. The height of the camera section is much too high,resulting in wasted space or the possibility of damage to equipment. The top section is too large, which minimizes what you can safely store there.
No gripes about the PC section. Definitely large enough for my 15-1/4" laptop. Haven't tried my 17" yet, but probably would using the smaller laptop when traveling anyway.
Overall the construction was good, just wish they would have spent the few extra cents for more Velcro and more flexibility.
Virtually a perfect fit May 12, 2008

After around one month of using this bag extensively, I can say that I have found it to be almost exactly what I would have designed for myself! I have taken this bag with me on long commercial flights with several connections, in the car for short as well as extended trips, on four seater prop planes for aerial shoots, etc. It always also contains my 17" Macintosh laptop as well, plus two extra batteries for the laptop. I have packed this bag in "default" mode relatively full, with all the gear I would likely need for a trip for BOTH the laptop as well as the D300, the extra 105 mm Macro Nikkor lens, two lens hoods, the SB800 flash, additional filters, batteries, etc. Yes, it is of course heavy (by my choice, of course), but the key is that it can and does handle it all well. The camera is very readily accessible (albeit not with the lens hood, which would require my opening the side compartment for access), I have the comfort of knowing that I have almost everything on me that I might need for the shoot, and the portability of a very sturdy and well built backpack that fits superbly when completely cinched around the shoulders, chest, and waist. The only reason that I gave it four and not five stars is because try as I might I have not found a way to attach even my smallest tripod (except for the table top version, which is indeed already in the bag) to the bag to take with me. The cost to step up to the model that accepts the tripod is rather steep, whereas it should have been a rather simple addition to a bag of this dimensions to attach a tripod hooking mechanism. Nevertheless, despite this drawback, this is the bag that I want with me for 99% of my travels - and which has become not only my #1 camera bag but frankly my #1 (17") laptop bag as well, now that I can take my laptop and camera equipment with me at all times. Great job, Lowepro!
Lowepro Fastpack 350 Review April 29, 2008

Lowepro Fastpack 350 (Black)
This is my third camera bag from Lowepro and as with the two previous, this is a very well designed product with excellent usability and build quality. This bag really meets my needs for a travel camera bag. It allows me to keep my EF 70-200 f/2.8L lens, with lens hood reversed, on my 40D and easily access it out the side opening. My only thing I would change on this bag would be that the padded storage spots for your additional lenses are a little on the small side. I have room for my EF 24-105 f/4L lens, but it won't fit with the lens hood reversed on it. I have to store the lens hood separately. Otherwise, it really meets my needs.
