Quality of Lowepro bags?

[bobonit]

Just got my Slingshot 302aw today. Nice bag with lots of room. It fits my D600 with the 70-200 f/2.8 perfectly as long as I take off the sun shade. Currently, I have the D600, 70-200 and 24-70 f/2.8 in it, and I have much more room left. Hopefully I will be able to fill the empty space with the 14-24 f/2.8 and a macro lens. Some day.

I also have a 302, and it IS big. Sometimes I sleep in it just for fun.

I need a new bag. Which Lowepro holds a good amount of gear and fits under the seat of most airlines?

I think the one I got would fit, but best check the dimensions on the lowepro website. It's the Lowepro Flipside 500AW. Huge carrying capacity! Super protective!

Lowepro's website also has pretty good pictures showing how much equipment fits in each of the bags.

​Stealth Reporter 400 AW amazing amount of room & pockets.

I'v only got one camera bag, but two Pelican cases, and one generic aluminum case. My one bag is a LowePro that I've owned since about 1979. It's still the bag I carry when I'm shooting photos, and it still does what I purchased it for. If I were to need or want another camera bag, I'd have no reservations about buying a LowePro if I found one that meets my needs.

Thanks. I need a backpack too. Can you recommend one that meets my requirements?

Do any of you guys have experience with this bag?

Event Messenger 150 Camera bags, backpacks and rolling cases

i want a messenger style bag that will fit one dslr body with two lenses, i have a 70-300 which is quite bulky so im not sure if this bag will be big enough

I just got the Pro messenger 160 aw last week, used it once so far. I have 3 lenses, one on the body with battery grip and still have room for more stuff. They have 3 sizes and the 160 was right for me.

I really like the bag, great build, nice features.

I got the messenger 150 last friday, its a great bag, really well designed but its not quite big enough for me, the 70-300 just fits in but you have to remove the lens hood and put it in one of the other sections where i could have put another lens. That said, im going to keep it as i dont have another lens atm and the bag is perfect for what i need right now

Have you tried reversing the lens hood, put it on backwards.

I didnt even think of trying that! Thanks for the tip

One of the best things about owning any Lowepro bag,is the lifetime warranty!! They stand behind there bags. I happly have 2 bags.

I've used the same Lowe pro for 30+ years. I love it! Best camera gear bag I've ever had or looked at. Wouldn't use anything else.

I just got the Lowepro Slingshot 302. It's awesome, especially since it's a hybrid of a messenger bag and backpack.
