Comments about Pentax Pentax DSLR Sling Bag for Small & Medium Sized Lenses & One Body, Black Nylon with Red Logo:
I was using a double pocket fanny-pack with two water bottle holders. I could use one bottle pocket for water and another for a lens. Now I can carry much more. I have room for three filters, lens brush, wiping cloth, notebook+ pens and so much more. Great gift.
Comments about Pentax Pentax DSLR Sling Bag for Small & Medium Sized Lenses & One Body, Black Nylon with Red Logo:
As I grow older, I've become more of a minimalist. I already have bags that will hold: one body and three lenses; two bodies and five lenses; etc. These are h-e-a-v-y. Now I don't carry any more than the job absolutely requires.
For a day's walk-around, I've cut back to a K7, battery grip and 18-250 zoom. I don't really need any bag for this, but I do need one for the trip to get there.
This kit just fits into the body space, thus leaving room for a good off-camera flash (e.g. 540FGZ) and its cord, filters, etc.
It's tight, but I can even jam a music player and a book for a longer flight.
Once you adjust the straps so that it is comfortable, this case works like a sling back should - easy to wear and quick to use.
Two years and many thousand miles and it looks brand new.
Caveat: I dropped it on the tile floor at CDG and had to replace the ensuing broken filter and repair the lens. I've since added more padding. It makes for a tighter fit, but I feel safer. However, I don't intend to test the added padding with another drop.

Comments about Pentax Pentax DSLR Sling Bag for Small & Medium Sized Lenses & One Body, Black Nylon with Red Logo:
I was hesitant at first because of one of the previous reviews. This is a GREAT bag, it carries well wearing cross-wise (over left shoulder to right hip or vise versa). If it is carried straight over the shoulder (like a purse)it is not as comfortable.

Comments about Pentax Pentax DSLR Sling Bag for Small & Medium Sized Lenses & One Body, Black Nylon with Red Logo:
Nice concept, poor implementation. It won't stay on my shoulder for even a few seconds, unless I hang on to the strap with my hand. It is a tight squeeze to get the K20D in and out, needs to be another 1/2 inch larger. Nice padding and protection. I've tried to use this for a half year, but I've given up on the bag, It is only good for leaving in the car or closet.

Comments about Pentax Pentax DSLR Sling Bag for Small & Medium Sized Lenses & One Body, Black Nylon with Red Logo:
I bought this bag for my Pentax K20D, AL II 18-55mm wide angle zoom, and Sigma 135-400mm zoom. The layout is just right for this set of gear. The camera with AL II mounted fits nicely in the center compartment and the Sigma is well protected in the bottom compartment. The top section holds my other small items easily. Bottom line it is just right for someone carrying one short to mid length lense and one long lense plus other accessories. Just wish it had some external straps to hold a small tri-pod or my mono-pod. Weather proofing would have been nice, too.
