4 out of 5 stars Good for a lot of kits   November 12, 2008
S. Bongsudhiruks
The bag is bigger than what I expected but overall it is good for people who have a lot of kit tools and lens. I put one camera, two lens (one zoom len and one kit len), and some basic tool kits. This bag is just too big for me to carry around.

It is also pretty secured for carrying the camera for one place to the other, but it is not an active photographer friendly bag. It takes time to unlock, and then unzip the bag. If you want to use the bag as your on duty bag, this might not be a right bag for you, but if you need a bag to carry your camera from one place to another, this is the perfect bag for you.



5 out of 5 stars Good one!!!!   August 9, 2008

This is a nice item. I am using it for my Sony A300X and i have three kit lenses. two provided by Sony 18-70 and 55-200 and i have another 70-300mm. till i did not face any problem and i have enough space to accommodate another lenses. But if you have a bigger telephoto lens, plz be advised to buy a bigger one. This is a very compact case and easy to handle. I have not checked the water proof quality of the product but i hope it would have that protection also. I highly recommend this product.


5 out of 5 stars Great bag for DSLR and multiple lenses   August 3, 2008
C. Franz (Zurich, ZH Switzerland)
I really like this bag as it is versatile, and allows me quick access to my gear. The bag comes with a number of dividers that you can use to partition the bag to your own liking. There are more than enough of these dividers for almost any configuration (i.e. you'll probably have some to spare), which is a nice thing.
I'm using this bag configured for a Canon 450D (with a 17-55 lens attached), 2 additional lenses (a 50mm prime, and a 100mm macro), and a flash. There is still enough space left for a couple of 58mm filters in the main compartment. A field lens cleaning kit, additional batteries, and computer interface go in the outside pockets. The bag is high enough to hold Canon lenses of up to 100mm while attached to the camera, but is too small to hold my 70-200mm zoom even if not attached.

The bag is designed to be opened from the top, which is really nice, as you can easily access its contents with one hand while holding the camera with the other. During rain, this is a bit of a disadvantage, as water can easily get into the bag while the top is open.
Even though you could attach this bag to your belt I have found that it is a bit too heavy to cary it that way when loaded with a camera and three lenses. Luckily, the bag also provides a shoulder strap (I have use the shoulder strap to carry the weight, and belt leash to keep it in place. It works well that way), and has a handle on top so you can pick it up like a normal carry-on. I mostly use the bag slung over the shoulder. With the top open it is sufficiently deep to prevent anything from falling out accidentally during movement, and the top flap, even unzipped, can be brought down to sufficiently close the bag to prevent unwanted access. Although this is a nice feature, it becomes a slight hassle when you quickly need to open the bag blindly or with only one hand to change the lens or filter.

The bag's outside walls sport nice padding (which, importantly, extends to the bottom, so you can safely store the camera with lens attached, lens facing down). The top opens after you first release a clasp, and then open a zipper that runs all the ay around, and provides a convenient seal against light environment. Should the rain become too hard, the bag also provides a poncho you can drag from the bottom over the whole bag while still allowing relatively easy access.

I like the fact that all clasps (except the front flap lock) and zippers are made from metal, making the whole package very rugged. Revealing just how much design went into this is the small leather flap that hides the metal of the inside zipper to protect your camera and lenses from contact with it.

After some unsuccessful rummaging with one hand during shooting trying to find a particular filter I have realized that this bag is simply too big to be used that way. Initially I tried to place the filters in the (nice) elastic webs that are on the outside of the bag, but that simply never felt right. I now have a separate small quick-access belt pouch (from Op/Tech) that holds my filters, and use the bag itself only for the camera and lenses. That way I can quickly access filters and lenses with a minim of hassle.

All in all I'm very satisfied with this bag, and can recommend it to anyone with a DSLR and more than one lens. The only thing I wish this bag had were lashes to strap on a small tripod.



5 out of 5 stars Perfect for my Nikon D40 and compact video cam   February 14, 2008

Initially I was looking for a separate bag for my Nikon D40 and my Panasonic SDR-H18 video cam. I saw a Nova 2AW at the store and I thought it was good enough for both cameras to fit in. But then I have another zoom lens that I need to carry with me. The Nova 3AW is just perfect for my gears. I can fit those three with one more room to spare for another lens. It was really designed for bigger DSLR but I was able to secure the D40 just fine with the included dividers. It's got plenty of pockets too for extra batteries, chargers and cleaning accessories. There's also a room for my Elph. The two side pockets are also handy for my cellphone and pocket books or map. There's also a pocket in the back for other stuff. So basically, here's what I was able to fit in the bag:

1 Nikon D40 w/ 55mm attached
1 compact video camera
1 200mm lens
1 digital compact camera
3 chargers and cables
3 spare batteries for each camera

The bag is also designed to be used as a waist belt bag but I thought it's a little big for this purpose. I also like the plastic lock in the front because I can secure the bag without closing the zipper for the cap-like cover. Overall, I am very satisfied with this bag and I highly recommend it to someone wanting to use it for their DSLR and video camera.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent small case   December 17, 2007

This is my 3rd Lowepro bag and even though it's small, it maintains the high quality of its larger siblings. I currently fit a Canon 20D with grip, a 28-135 IS, an 80-200 L and a Sigma EF500 Super flash plus all the batteries and cards I need. It took a little work but everything fits, albeit a little tightly. Overall, I can easily recommend this bag!
