Comments about Lowepro Lowepro Compact AW All Weather Camera Gadget Bag for Small SLR or Medium Format Systems, Black.:

I searched diligently for a bag that would handle two large DSLRs, three to four lenses, batteries, cards, and various support equipment needed by today's digital cameras, all necessary for me to go to on location shoots such as portrait work. I use a backpack for nature trekking and walk-about work, but I want a traditional bag for travelling to set up. This Lowepro unit fit the bill with great quality, sensible design and layout, and all a a great price. Also, the add-on capabilities (I have attached two quick access lense cases along with the supplied end pockets) are a great bonus.

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro Compact AW All Weather Camera Gadget Bag for Small SLR or Medium Format Systems, Black.:

Been looking for a bag to hold all my gear for months and finally ordered this one based on reviews. I'm very happy with the bag quality and price. This is not a bag to carry on a hike or walking around sightseeing. I wanted a bag to store all my gear so it's all in one place and ready to go when I need to take it all.

It has so many different configurations with the adjustable dividers and can easily be configured to hold a camera with a regular or zoom lens attached as I have done. Tons of pockets and compartments. So far I have my SLR and 3 lenses, including my Canon EF 70-200mm 1:2.8 L IS which is huge and the main issue I've had with finding an appropriate bag. Holds all my other gadets and accessories, flashes, manuals with a lot of room left over. Also has the tripod monopod straps and removeable pockets on each end. I do not see ever having to replace this bag or "move up", this is it for me.

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro Compact AW All Weather Camera Gadget Bag for Small SLR or Medium Format Systems, Black.:

The multiple velcro dividers made it possible to customize to fit my D-700 plus two lenses without a problem. If the manufacturer would provide drawings of suggested setups, it would have taken less time. I still have a lot of room left and it should be sufficient for the other equipment I want in the future

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro Compact AW All Weather Camera Gadget Bag for Small SLR or Medium Format Systems, Black.:

The product is large enough for a SLR camera, lens, and flash. However, it is not designed to handle a camera with a lens attached. I like to carry around my camera with the lens attached. It is a gadget bag and designed that way. It is primary a bag for storage of camera equipment nicely separated into each individual compartment. I wish they had a photo of the bag insides. It is a nice bag for camera gadgets storage. A slight modification of the bag design could allow for attached camera and lens, but it is a gadget bag.

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro Compact AW All Weather Camera Gadget Bag for Small SLR or Medium Format Systems, Black.:

After I converted my Nikon D-80 to infrared, I needed a bag that would hold both the D-80, the D-300, and my large Tamron 180mm micro lens and still not be bulky[...]. I checked the prices from other companies, including the manufacturer, and sure enough, Adorama's price was way below everyone else's. It seemed too good to be true: there must be something wrong with this bag. But it turned out to be even better than expected. I wish it was some other color than black, but other than that, it holds my two DSLR cameras, long lens, three other lenses, and accessories. It seems to be extremely well made of tough material, and it's got pockets galore. It even has two extra pockets that attach to or detach from the bag. And with all that equipment, it's not too heavy or bulky. A true photography winner!

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro Compact AW All Weather Camera Gadget Bag for Small SLR or Medium Format Systems, Black.:

I'm using it for a D700, 50mm 1.8f, 18-200zoom, power supply, paperwork, lots of memory, 2 Go-Pro vid cameras, 1 candy-bar vid camera, assorted accessories for large zoom, batteries, cleaning materials. The bag is barely full, and all major components are within 2 movements of opening the top cover, and the rest are within opening the respective cover. Fall protection seems okay. Not made for dust or anything more than splash. Top cover can catch on edges when zippering closed. VERY affordable while on sale.

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro Compact AW All Weather Camera Gadget Bag for Small SLR or Medium Format Systems, Black.:

I bought this bag for some additional storage for my Pentax 6x7 medium format camera. I have found that I have ended up using it more for some my overflow digital photo kit. It is excellent for flashes and other accessories that I don't want to carry in my main bag (a Lowepro Slingshot 200). The build seems good - will have to see how it holds up over the next few years. Would recommend - especially if you can get it on a good sale. The only con is that it was a slight bit smaller than I expected. However, I will admit if it was much bigger, it might be more difficult to handle.

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro Compact AW All Weather Camera Gadget Bag for Small SLR or Medium Format Systems, Black.:

This bag is HUGE! I was able to fit in both my Canon 40D with prime and zoom lens and a canon 35mm camera with three lenses in addition to all their accessories (filters, extra batteries, memory cards, film, etc.) Love the tripod strap as well. The bag is a little bulky and get to be a bit heavy at times but is totally worth it!!! Love this bag!

I received the bag last week and like it very much. It's well built and has a lot of storage configuration.

One thing to note is it's NOT compact but actually a spacious bag...Be sure to look at the dimensions.

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro Compact AW All Weather Camera Gadget Bag for Small SLR or Medium Format Systems, Black.:

I have no problem with the body. There are tons of space to fit lots of camera equipments. The problem is how to manage heavy bag. The fully loaded bag is killing me with the bad design and uncomfortable strap.

the strap didn't support anything. The weight is not contributed along the strap pad. It is so painful. you will feel like carry 10kg of bags with a tiny robe.

recommend it if you can find a better strap for it.

Comments about Lowepro Lowepro Compact AW All Weather Camera Gadget Bag for Small SLR or Medium Format Systems, Black.:

This bag is rugged and, supposedly weather resistant. It holds my Canon 20D and 4 lenses, flash, chargers, cleaning stuff, plus a largish point & shoot. I have a really nice Tamrac back pack type, but was tired of things buried under other stuff. This one is really convenient to take on planes and into the field for my landscape fetish.
