5.0 out of 5 stars Great camera bag, October 30, 2004

I've tried, like so many others, MANY camera bags. I've had the Lowepro Compact AW, the Lowepro Magnum AW, the Lowepro MiniTrekker, and the Lowepro Photo Trekker AW II just to name some of the many I've tried. But for an easy way to carry the camera and extra lens and/or flash while hiking around in Europe, the zoo, a park etc. this bag just cannot be beat!

The construction is very good and it is ideally sized to carry a small amount of equipment for a daily shoot. And it does so comfortably and inobtrusively.

The backpack solutions, for me, were mostly overkill, were uncomfortable to boot, and it was difficult to access my equipment. The shoulder bags are great to transport your gear, but very uncomfortable for carrying it around on a day trek. I believe in travelling light and keeping is simple and this bag allows you to do both.

Incidentally, the bag can be slung comfortably across your shoulder in addition to strapping it on your waist. While on your waist it is a simple matter to loosten the belt slightly and bring the gear arount to the front of you where you can easily remove it.

Do remember that the bag IS limited in size and it will force you to carefully consider your gear choices for the day. The advantages of "travelling light" far outweigh the disadvantages of not having all of your equipment at the tip of your fingers.

Honestly, I have not found a better solution for day treks and would, at this point, only consider other lumbar bags when considering an alternative for daily treks. Everyone I've recommended this bag to has been pleased.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of straps., September 24, 2007

Overall, the bag is good quality, but I wish I could remove the straps I'm not using easily. I also found that it doesn't fit some of my larger lens very well. I can easily fit 3 lens, but 4 is a bit tight if I'm brining my 28-135 lens. The height of the bag is perfect, all of my lens including my 100-300 fit fine. I gave it 4 stars as its a little too narrow, another inch would have given it 5 stars.

I love the quick way it opens and closes. Not too big but carries what I need. Secure for climbing over boulders with the belt and shoulder straps. Would recommend it to anyone if they need a compact well working camera pack. I carry my Nikon D-80 with zoom, and extra wide angle lens, a polorizer, exta battery and card and cleaning stuff. LOVE IT.
