Comments about Think Tank Think Tank Digital Holster 40, Shoulder Bag for 70 - 200 f/2.8 SLR Lens with Hood Reversed or In Position:

This bag is so poorly designed that it caused me to lose an expensive camera battery. The side pocket for storing accessories (batteries, memory, filters, etc.)is distressingly inadequate. The pocket is so badly designed that I was doing a shoot and failed to notice that it wasn't zipped up tight, and as a result one of my expensive camera batteries fell out and got lost, never to be seen again.

The rain pouch that everyone else complained about was discarded immediately, first thing. All it does is take up space, which this holster doesn't have enough of anyway.

Total thumbs down on this product.

Think Tanks Digital Holster lineup is an awesome solution for those who travel light, and those who travel heavy in way that you're able to wear a rather larger backpack while comfortably wear and protect your camera gear. My 1755 f/2.8 fits perfectly w/grip, with hood on you're required to unzip the expandable portion at Holster bottom. I do wish the outer pocket were a slight larger, although no biggie. The fit and finish is worth every penny, and I'm very satisfied.

I'm using it with the padded ThinkTank belt. Holding the 1ds2 with a Kirk L bracket and 70-200 f4 IS. The camera fits snugly and the bottom needs to be zippered open a bit to allow the lens to get in all the way. I have a grip strap on the camera so its never around my neck. The little locking mechanism that holds the holster in one place on the strap is nice. For situations with a lot of moving and shooting, putting the camera away and taking it out, I have found it convenient. In comparison, the Slingshot type of sling pack was also an ok way of taking the camera out and about but I have grown tired of hanging my gear across my chest. Compared to fanny pack types the holster is much better for holding steady the heavy camera and lens.

I usually use the Digital Holster 40 on a Think Tank Steroid Speed Belt with various Skin bags. The top unzips and folds away from the belt so it is out of the way for camera access. I use the holster with a Canon XTI with Canon 17-55 and 100-400 lenses. The 100-400 is a bit long even with the bag's bottom extended, but the lid almost closes. The Digital Holster 40 is also a good bag with adequate protection to use for carrying the camera and lens alone.

I've happily used the Think Tank modular belt system for over a year as a back-friendly alternative to shoulder bags. Recently purchased the Digital Holster 40 specifically to accomodate an Olympus E-3 body with battery grip and Zuiko 50-200 lens, which it does nicely and comfortably, even with the 2-0 teleconverter in place. I wear it on the modular belt along with additional Think Tank lens pouches and also employ the pixel harness while hiking for periods of 4-8 hours.
The only complaint I have on the DH 40 is the rain cover tends to add too much bulk on the inside and is a bit of a pain to put in place when raining, but aside from that I have found it to be quite functional and comfortable.

The product is very nicely made. The material and the stitching is very rugged. The rain cover takes up a lot of space inside, but it's easily removed if necessary.
