5.0 out of 5 stars My Versatile, Clandestine Camera Bag System, May 27, 2009

I have used a few different camera bags over the years, and I really like the LowePro system. I use the Holster for the DSLR with a lens attached, and the lens cases for my extra lenses.

When I need to transport my equipment around, I have two ways I use this system. The first way is to use the LowePro waist belt, and I attach the Toploader holster to the belt. This is nice because I can easily unzip the holster and pull out the camera and shoot. One nice feature is the the top zips open away from your body, so that the top doesn't get in the way as you are trying to pull out the camera. I don't usually use the lens cases on the belt, as I feel that's a little too much bulk/weight for my taste. Instead, I wear a non-descript backpack in which I carry whatever lenses I might want for the day. I keep the lenses in the LowePro lens case and they remain safe, sound and incognito. I can also use the backpack for whatever else I may want for the day -- snacks, sweatshirt, umbrella, etc. I feel this makes the backpack safer in that it doesn't scream "Thousands of dollars of nice lenses inside!" like my Canon backpack does.

One reason I like the belt system is that I can still push around a stroller or wheelchair (something I often have to do) and still have the camera at the ready (without having the camera around my neck and swinging back and forth).

The second way is really just a version of the first, except that instead of wearing the belt, I toss the holster pack into the backpack with whatever lenses I might want.

Overall, I'm very pleased with this method. The LowePro bags are well made, and have the features I'm looking for.

As for the 1W lens case, it fits my Canon 10-22 and my Canon 24-70L 2.8. The shade for the 10-22 is a pretty tight fit, and the 24-70 is slightly long for the case, but I can close it up without difficulty.

I also use a lens case 2, and use that for the Canon 70-200L f/4 IS.

With the toploader holster, and the two lens cases, I can keep one lens on the camera, and the other two in the lens cases.

After using a traditional camera bag, a photo backpack, and a Crumpler shoulder bag, I find that the LowePro belt system components offer the most flexibility for my pattern of use.

I bought this for my Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens, and it holds this lens comfortably with the hood reversed. It can also hold my Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras with the hood on (not reversed).

While the Sigma came with its own nice case, this allows me to bring my camera with the 18-200VR attached for most shots and have the 10-20 available for immediate use (and safely store the 18-200VR in the meantime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Up to usual LowePro standards, June 13, 2007

I purchased this case to protect a Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II lens. The compatibility chart at lowepro.com said that it would fit. I have found that this chart does not consider the lens hood in many cases and this is one of them. The case is a perfect fit for this lens with no hood. With the hood on reversed, it is quite an ordeal to get the combo in this case. It is possible but it takes some doing. I don't believe that there is an larger, better fit alternative in the LowePro line. The bag that Canon sends with the case offers no real shock protection for the lens so you really need something.

LowePro lens cases are a great value. They are very well made and the materials are of excellent quality.
