Product Description

Color: Black

The Lowepro Passport Sling is for those who need tons of flexibility in a small compact bag. Lowepro's Passport Sling is designed for today's photo enthusiasts who want to carry an equal amount of camera and personal gear as they sightsee, travel or go out for a walk with their DSLRs . It's unique and comfortable shape is unlike a traditional sling bag-it truly conforms to the body and easily moves with the wearer. Place it across the chest, high and close or low and loose, depending on the activity. The shoulder strap features a cam lock buckle that easily adjusts for an ideal fit, plus a removable, sliding shoulder pad that offers cushioned comfort when needed. On the exterior, two slash pockets and a water bottle pocket provide quick access to maps, guide books, boarding passes. Inside, the sling is equipped to protect your DSLR and a few accessories as well as offer plenty of space for personal items. Unzip the front of the Passport Sling to reveal an expansion compartment that adds approximately 30% more space-enough to accommodate items like a light jacket, lunch, cool souvenir or farmers' market find. A fully padded camera box (with built-in memory card pocket) protects a DSLR.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE this camera bag! July 27, 2010
Color Name:Mica
In my search for a camera bag that did NOT look like a camera bag, I discovered the Lowepro Passport Sling...and I LOVE it! I could not find any reviews on this product so hopefully this review will help someone else who is searching for that perfect camera bag...that doesn't LOOK like a camera bag. The Passport Sling is not too big yet large enough to hold my gear. Unloaded, the bag is also very lightweight. It features a removable camera box which attaches to the bag with Velcro, 2 small interior flap pockets (for phone, iPod, credit cards, gum, etc.), 2 exterior pockets, 1 exterior water bottle pocket (which I have yet to use for a water bottle), adjustable shoulder strap, and expandability.

I wish the external pockets were a little deeper/wider and designed in the shape of a rectangle instead of a trapezoid so items could fit better. Although a travel book and map would fit inside the bag, it would be nice to have quick and easy access on the outside of the bag. I would feel more secure if the external pockets had either a zip or Velcro closure so I don't feel like items might fall out.

The camera box has 1 adjustable Velcro divider which I configured with my Nikon D90 and 18mm-200mm lens attached on the left side and both the 35mm f/1.8 and 50mm f/1.8 (filter attached) side by side in the other half of the camera box. (I'm not going to lie, it's a little snug fitting them side by side but I like knowing that I have both with me.) There's still some space on top of the prime lenses for a spare camera battery, 4 AA batteries (for my SB-600), and some other small accessories (spare SD card, card reader, camera remote). The flap of the divider folds over nicely to cover the lenses/accessories and provides a cushion to protect the lenses and camera grip.

3.0 out of 5 stars great but could be greater October 8, 2010
By Mara
Color Name:Black|Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased the Lowepro Passport Sling for my recent trip to Italy. I wanted an easy access, stylish camera bag to use while I travelled. I carried a Canon 7D with it's 18-135mm lens, my 70-200mm, 2.8L lens, a few memory cards and filters. The bag functioned very well and was comfortable to use, easy to access. The padded area for my camera and it's primary lens was barely big enough. A Rebel would have fit very comfortably, but my camera was very tight. I would have liked to have had my battery grip on too, but there was no way it would have fit. I had plenty of room for my 70-200mm, 2.8L, but the area in the bag that it fit had no extra padding, so I had to add my own with a crunched up t-shirt.

The improvements that I would recommend would be as follows: make the bag slightly larger to accommodate a full size camera more comfortably; add some extra padding in a secondary compartment to protect a second lens and/or flash unit; and lastly, add zippers to the external pockets of the bag to hold a passport, money, filters, etc. more securely.

I just received this bag today and at first sight it seemed kinda small. However, when I opened the zipper and expanded the bag, the size appeared to be average (not too big... not too small).

When I looked at the interior, I immediately saw the problem. There is not enough space for my gears. This bag is simply for the casual photographer having an entry-level DSLR with a kit lens. By the way, what I meant with "not enough space" refers to the padded area of the bag. You wouldn't want to put your camera or your lens on an unprotected space would you?

To address the above issue, I stripped the removable "paddings" from my old camera bag and stuffed them into this bag. With proper arrangement, I was able to fit the following items inside the bag:

1. Nikon D7000 with attached MD-11 battery grip
2. Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 vr ii telephoto lens with lens hood attached (reversed)
3. Nikon 60mm f/2.8 macro lens (attached to the camera) with lens hood attached (reversed)
4. Nikon 10-24mm wide angle lens
5. Nikon SB-800 speedlight with 5th battery compartment attached
6. Lens hood for 10-24mm lens.

I am giving this bag 4-stars because of it's looks, material quality, design, and configurability. Had it been a little bit bigger with sufficient padding, then this bag would definitely be the best walk-around bag.

When should you NOT buy this bag?

a. If you have a D300 and up (or 7D and up) with battery grip, don't bother with this bag unless you decide to remove the battery grip.
b. If you don't have "paddings" to fill the unprotected part of the bag interior and you want to place lenses or other expensive gears on this part.

Which bags should you consider as alternatives?

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for what it is! January 11, 2012
Color Name:Mica
I'll keep it short because everyone's got the details covered, but I'll add the extra 5 stars that it deserves, and try shed some light on what seems like some pretty silly 2 to 3 star reviews...

So, you take the time to write a review to essentially tell us that you bought the wrong bag. The bag is perfect for what it is*. No it does not hold a D700/5D MKII+ with pro lenses... if you want full-frame body with lenses in a little shoulder bag, you need a Leica M9... perhaps re-review after trying it out with an approate setup? Why would you want to carry the amount weight of equipment that people are complaining that it doesn't fit, over your shoulder in what is essentially a large purse?

If you've got a small to midsize DSRL and a handful of primes, or maybe a rangefinder or a manual focus SLR; it's mint. The D7000, my 35mm, 50mm, and 105mm, fit with room to spare for: wallet, phone, flash, gorrilapod, etc... more than enough equipment to take some great photographs.

I apologize for any dryness... just trying to add some thoughts for anyone looking for an affordable semi-under-the-radar camera bag.
