I purchased this bag early in 2004 after reading the late Herb Keppler's column in Popular Photography Magazine. He helped design this bag with Adorama. Simply put, this is a terrific bag for an SLR and couple lenses, filter pouches, film, or memory cards. Is is a little small for most cameras with grip attached. It has held up very well considering all the use it has had. Only the piping on the front is wearing out. I purchased the pro version recently, however that bag is too big to be carried as a sling bag and my camera with grip is not held securely and slides around inside. This is a very well designed bad and I can highly recommend it.

I got this bag in august '10 as part of an Adorama camera package. It has been less than a year, and many of the seams have broken apart just from regularly carrying it by the handle. The strap is okay for when you don't have a free hand, but it hangs very oddly and doesn't feel comfortable.

It functions at the bare minimum as a camera bag, and does that okay enough, but is cheaply made and will not last you very long. if you're getting a camera bundle then the bag is fine for being free, but it's not worth paying for on its own.

The strap is comfortable when carrying, but it is a real nuisance when the bag is put down. Other than that, it's a good bag.

Most of the time, I use the bag for local photo shoots, but will probably take
it on my next extended travel. It holds quite a bit; perhaps a little too much.
I can easily fit a body and two lenses, a set of filters and a flash plus spare batteries and cards.

I took my new SLR to Europe with me on a cruise.. all in all, I used this bag as a cooler for water, because I had my camera on my neck the whole time. However, for travel (airports and times you are not using the camera for an extended period) it worked well. Complaints: Strap is not completely adjustable (one side is sewn), and the clamps are less preferred than zippers (no protection from sand, etc., with the clamps).

Don't use this to protect the camera while using it.. better off using a case that hangs on your neck and easily comes on and off. Good for travel.

I use this bag when I travel. It is easy to carry and allows your hands to be free. It is neither too bulky nor too heavy, but does provide protection for your equipment.

Very comfortable bag. This is the best that I have ever had.

Nice bag for long term camera storage and for taking out in the field.

This is a great bag. I got it as part of a package. If I were to buy another bag, I might consider a backpack-type. This shoulder strap set-up is a little awkward but it is a good bag overall. I mostly carry it from the top handle rather than over the shoulder.

Carry all camera items in this bag.

Lots of versatility.

Can't put enough film in it.

Perfect, practical. The best size for a semi-pro photographer.

I go this with my new Nikon D80 and zoom lens. The camera and lens fit just right. Good for carrying the camera and a few batteries, filters and other small accessories. You could get one more lens in the bag where I put my battery charger. I intend to take this on vacation.

It's light and compact. It's not a hard case, so don't expect to bang it around. If you want good protection, get a hard case.

a very good bag for all your need

Every photographer needs camera protection while carrying your $$$ camera. It makes sense to have a camera carrying bag from the camera manufacturer. Because of the increasingly higher prices of cameras. the days of constantly having the camera hung around the neck,sometimes all day, are over.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Slinger Bag, Single Strap Backpack / Shoulder Bag, Gray.:

One of the best small bags I've found. The camera cradle holds my Nikon F4 or D1X with a lens attached, plus I can carry two additional lenses in the side pockets. The elastic end pockets are great for holding sun glasses, bottles, rolled up magazines, a phone or even a small tripod. Travel tickets, address books and other paper items can be safely secured in the zippered side pocket.

Only thing I didn't like about the Slinger was the uncomfortable shoulder strap. It also made the bag very top-heavy, so if you picked it up by the strap and the flap wasn't secured your camera could tumble out onto the floor. After my first trip with the bag, I cut the strap off and replaced it with a well-padded snap-on strap, but the bag really needs to have the strap attached on the ends with buckles. It should also have a full-length pocket on the back instead of the useless waist straps and zipper compartment. That would give you a place to stash magazines, brochures, maps and other items you pick up while traveling.

I told the salesman no at first, but now I am SO glad I reconsidered!! (Thanks, Meyer!!) It is roomy enough to hold everything, without being overly big and bulky. LOVE the sling! Hangs VERY comfortably over my shoulder. LOVE that it is weatherproof too. I have kids, and weatherproof has entailed MORE than just weather at my house, and my camera and equipment stays protected.

Get the bag. When the salesman asks or recommends it...get the bag. Listen to Meyer, he knows! LOL

My Olympus E-500 with 14-45 nestles neatly with 40-150 and Fl-36 flash alongside. VERY comfortable to carry. Sufficient room for accessories. Yes, there are better, but not for [$]. One of the best feature vs. price bags on the market.

Product is not as pictured on 2/21/07. Grey is darker, bag is taller and heavier than old revision. grab handle is different. Looks like the pro version of the slinger. No where as compact. However It is still a nice bag just different.

vey good for storing my gear and for transporting it. my wife does not complain too much when I fill it and take it with us on vacation------

Better than expected. Holds digital SLR with two good size lenses. Easy to configure padded divider.

This has become my favorite bag. I use it at home to store my d50 with the 18-70 lens attached (w/hood), a nikkor 50 mm 1.4, a Tamron 70-300 (hood attached), instruction book, body caps, micro cleaning cloth, etc. Hopefully an sb400 flash will soon be in it too. If I go out wih less stuff, I'll use a smaller bag to take with me but the slinger is my primary, "take everywhere" bag. It protects my gear, and my wife does not complain too much------

This bag holds my d50, 50 1/4 af Nikkor , 18-70 Nikkor, 70-300 Tamron, instruction book, 2 or 3 filters, extra sd cards and a microfiber cleaning cloth. It will probably soon be holding an sb400 flash. I find it easy to carry and easy to get to the equipment. It fits well as a sling bag, much easier than a regular shoulder bag. I'm very happy with it.

Use as primary bag for photographic projects. And as all-purpose gear bag for trips made by plane and car.Usually have cell phone, pda, iPod and their chargers in the Slinger Bag.

Best all-around bag for traveling light. I pack this in my rolling carry-on when I fly. Fits camera and three lenses or two plus flash. Nice ergonomics. Little tight for camera with grip, though mine does fit because the the top of the bag forms a bit at the top over the front pouch -- for the prism/flash. For a better fit when using a grip, you may want to go with the pro version. Plenty of extra room for film, filters, manuals, cards etc. I prefer bags that open away from the body, but that's a minor gripe. This bag is not AW -- your gear will get wet in heavy rain. I own quite a few bags -- find myself using this one the most.

This is excellent to 'sling' over your back and go bike riding to your favorite picture taking spot.
