I just got my Hipshot and I have the following observations:

--My Diana camera won't fit into it, full stop. If I ever get one of the ActionSamplers it'll go in here.

--If their 120 format cameras don't fit in the bag, then WHY do the film-holsters ONLY take 120 film well (no "lip" on 35mm to hold it)

--Almost none of Lomo's 35mm cameras take an external flash. So WHY did they design one pocket just for a Colorsplash or Diana F+ flash?

It's not worth returning and it may be worth using if I can figure out how to cram my Diana into it, but otherwise this item is all hip and no functionality.

The quality of construction on this item is great. It's sturdy, durable & you don't have to worry it'll fall apart. I like the material it's made out of, and the film strap works really well. So that is why I gave it 5 stars.

I personally don't think it's the most comfortable camera bag I have used. It's a bit awkward to wear on your hip & over the shoulder.

There are quite a few downsides to this product. My Diana Mini doesn't fit. I literally have to squeeze it in, and to get it in I cannot have the "wallet" in there, and the lens cap cannot be on the camera. I contacted LOMO before purchasing & they said it would be no problem to get a mini in there. Also the Diana flash barely fits, but it's possible.

I bought this to take to Vegas & to be able to transport my camera through airports. I wish I hadn't...it would of been another $30+ I could of spent on the trip. Oh well, live & learn.

The Lomo Hipshot camera bag is just what it looks like, a simple small pack that you can stick ONE small point and shoot camera and a few rolls of film. The film holders are made of some strechy fabric that once it gets streched too much can't hold anything. If you absolutly have to have lomo then go ahead and get this otherwise I'd say pass on the Hipshot and search Amazon for a messenger bag that can hold a lot more for the same price!
