Lowepro always great design without pretense

This was really a bargain. I love the Passport Sling. I tried Tenba, Think Tank, Domke etc, Lowepro is often cheaper, and does not try too hard, but makes really functional bags. This is no exception, Simple, clean, stylish. Not fancy materials but looks good (black version, grey not so good). I replaced the insert with an Ape case yellow inser with more dividers and sections. I can fit 2 mirorless and accessories. It has a carry handle and a strap that is really easy to adjuts on the fly. side pockets for cell phone or a small tabletop tripod like Manfrotto Pixi. I just wish it had a rear pocket for documents, accessible without opening the flap. Anyway the front pocket for accessories as a lanyard with a key fob great touch so i can secure keys, memory card wallet or battery wallet. Lowepro may sound a little boring, but gets its camera bags right, and has less expensive models like this. I love the Passport Sling 2, great for travel. This has the advantage to allow you to carry a laptop (as a working photographer for local media, often I need to file the photos at the end of the assignment and I need to have that option)

Small camera insert, OK for laptop

I've used this bag for 6 months, mainly to carry my laptop and occasionally to carry my DSLR with small lens. The bag is nondescript - it doesn't advertise "CAMERA INSIDE," which is good for carrying camera gear around. But the padded camera insert only accommodates a DSLR with small lens. It can hold larger 70-200mm lens, but they won't be padded as much. The laptop compartment has some padding and I've been using it for transporting my laptop around mostly. It has held up well as laptop carrier. if only the padded camera insert is larger, I'd give it 5*.

A bit disappointing...

Pro: Nice look, great shoulder strap, place for laptop. Cons: Bottom is not rigid at all, so if you don't fill out your bag, things seem to droop towards the middle. I was really disappointed to see no padding or rigidity enforced on the bottom. The inside is big, but only about half the space is actually safe for equipment. The big has an inner bag that is intended for pretty much a camera body and one lens only. The rest of the bag is just an open void. Unless you like to just throw your equipment into a big open bag, it's a bit of a let down. There is a decently side pouch that will hold a 13" notebook or tablet. My Surface Pro fits nicely in it. Aside from that, you really can't safely store much photo equipment. The bag itself is pretty flimsy feeling. The carry handle at the top is off center, so if you carry the bag by this handle it hangs awkwardly. Mine has a lot of random threads hanging out here and there. Seems sloppy or just not run through a good finishing process. All in all, I don't think it's a very good value because of the flimsiness, and lacking of more padding/rigidity. If the bottom was flat and rigid and there was more padded areas inside for gear this would be a nice bag. Would not recommend.

Perfect

I bought it used ... Perfect shape! Great for a small camera and a lens or two ... Hugs the body, and makes you want to get on a bicycle and hit the streets of NYC!!

I should get this one at the beginning

Finally I can always bring my iPad along with the Sony a6000 every where I go.

Nice Messenger Bag

I've been looking for a nice messenger bag for a while. I like how it has a laptop/table sleeve to. I was even able to get my DSLR with a 70-200 on the camera in the bag! (lens hood was reversed)

Much smaller inside then expected, flimsy bag.

Not what i expected, the inner storage is way too small. all i can fit is d7000 with a lens and possibly a flash. I could not fit any more lenses or anything else. you can put them on side but i would not want my equipment at risk.

Big the expected

Bag has more room than expect with the quality I've come to expect from Lowepro.

Great Messenger Bag

Perfect fit for 13.3" laptop with room for other stuff. I don't really use it to carry a camera since it's a bit too small for my 5DM3 + lense + flash. For smaller cameras, it would be perfect.

Good for a light job !!

Smaller than I expected but OK. It accommodates a Nikon D750, a flash or a spare lens or a couple of small accessories tightly. Also fits a MacBook 2. Wish it had a rain cover!
