One bada** little bag

I use a 5d mark 3 with a grip and a 24-70 L series lens and it fits it perfectly. It?s the perfect secondary camera bag or smaller camera bag

Not my favorite camera bag

Very flimsy material compared to other Lowepro top loader camera bags. Very disappointed

BEST ZOOM CAMERA BAG ON THE MARKET!

I own or have owned a great many Lowepro bags. They are exclusive to me in what I use for multiple cameras. I find that the Lowepro Toploader 55 AW II Bag is PERFECT for just about every camera that I own. It allows me to carry a DSLR with grip and a variety of different lenses with still enough space in the lower portion of the bag for yet another lens. The compartments are laid out in a manner that the charger, spare batteries, filters, spare cards, wireless flash control and more can easily fit into this 'all in one' bag. Everything is made of top quality materials. I have one that goes back prior to the AW configuration being added. It is still in superb condition. I don't see a need to post a photograph since what you see in the ads for this great case are exactly what you get. The best part of this is that it's not pricy and it's not camera specific. I shoot Nikon products and it will fit a whole host more!

Toploader 50 awII

This bag is awesome. Will fit my D7200 with 18-140 lens perfectly. The front pouch will hold a smaller lens as well plus room for some small items; batteries, filters etc... I usually attach it to my daypack strap, kind of like a saddle bag , for quick access. Excellent quality and sufficient protection.

Perfect size for my needs

I wanted something relatively small that would hold just what I needed for vacations in particular so I looked into and purchased the Lowepro Toploader 45 AW II Bag for my Canon EOS RP with 24-105 lens which fits perfectly. The small outside pocket holds a spare battery, SD Cards and remote shutter release. The other small pocket in the inside top I use to holds lens wipes, etc.

diffidently great for longer lenses.

diffidently great for longer lenses like the 100-400mm GM lens. enough room in the pocket for extra batteries and lens cleaner while still being light weight. Also easier to change lenses using this pouch.

Zipper is made of plastic.

Barely fit D850 with 24-70/2.8 lens. I am disappointed with the zipper material. it is made of plastic material. One of the zipper was already broken when I received the bag. I have top loader 75 AW. The 75 AW's zipper is much more better than 50.

Using this for skiing in Yellowstone this winter. Keeps my camera safe and reasonably protected. Excited to use it more.

Perfect for camera + 100-400 lens

I had been looking for a long time for a stand-alone bag for a Canon 7Dii and 100-400 lens. This combination fits perfectly in the 55 AW. Inside zippered packet for memory cards and outside pockets for batteries, filters, keys, etc. Slightly less than ideal padding but light weight. And that blue is beautiful.

Fits well with P900

I have a tripod mount that goes around the lens and it still fits in the case. Well padded and constructed. Original tripod mount on P900 is a joke and an expensive fix.

Fits my Lumix FZ1000 like a glove

Fits my Lumix FZ1000 like a glove but in all fairness I don't use a hood over my lens. The case is very well padded and is not oversized for this camera so since my use is predominantly on serious hiking trails, I feel very comfortable with this on my shoulder. I also like the fact that it has an outside pocket where I can put extra SD cards, lens wipes, and a air brush. Highly recommended and a very fair price too!

Almost perfect for carrying light

My Canon 5D MKIII with the 24-70 f2.8L fits in this bag--barely, but it DOES fit. The bag is lightweight and fairly comfortable, really just right if you want to go sightseeing and only carry around the camera and one lens. There is a front zipped section that doesn't hold a lot. Perfect for extra battery and memory cards, maybe your cell phone and not much else. This bag would be perfect if there were a little more space for a little of my "purse stuff", like phone, DL, cards, lip balm, etc. I wouldn't need much room--just a side pocket maybe? Well made & good quality. I do like it and would order again, but still wish for just a teeny bit more room.

Large enough to hold everything!

Just purchased an older Nikon D60 with a 55-200 mm lens, so I purchased a larger size to make sure. Goodness! Carries the Nikon, two batteries & charger Plus a small back-up Kodak camera. this thing is great. Solid stitching, zippers, & strap. Well done.

Does the job

I bought this to accommodate for my Fuji XT2 + 100-400 lens for long birding treks; it fits the bill nicely, except it's a bit short when I include the TC with the lens; should have bought VII of this but it costs twice as much Wish the strap has more padding for the shoulders but still a good buy

I am very happy with all of my other Lowepro items.

I am a big fan of Lowepro and have more than 12 of there products. I guess I should have done a little more research before buying this bag, it is not wide enough to acomidate my Canon 80D with the extended grip on it.

Decided I needed the closest thing to a camera case

Today's cameras don't have cases like in the old days when I sold them. There are times when I wanted to have something to protect my Nikons, and this case is a good one at an excellent price. Enough room to hold D7100 body with any of several lenses (except a Tamron 10-20 with lens hood attached, no surprise there). Convenient to carry, has room for extra batteries and even holds a decent sized flash. Perfect for when I want protection but don't want to carry one of my bigger bags.

My most used bag

This is my favorite bag. Carries a 5D or 7D with 70-200mm or 100-400mm attached very comfortably. Using the optional harness is my preferred method. Bag is stable, light and well made. I tore out the rain cover which was sewn into a "secret" pocket on the back. Rain cover seems pointless to me but maybe not to you. Bag is much more comfortable without the bulge in the backside from the cover wadded up inside.

Very nice bag. Very well made. It fits my Semi-Pro DSLR with a battery/vertical grip snugly, without the grip, then very easy access to the camera.

great

Fits my camera well with a 70-300mm lens (a little room to spare). Comfortable to carry. The zipper to open and access the camera presses against your body making it a little awkward to open, but not a big deal. Overall, works well for carrying a camera with a larger zoom lens attached.

Perfect fit

Fits my Sony a6000 with the rather large 18-105mm f4 lens. Perfect fit, too! It also has room for a spare battery, filters, lens cleaners. This is now my travel setup. Love the blue color and seems to be well made.

Good AW bag

By Diogenes

Works fine with D3300 and 55-200 Zoom but not large enough for my 18-300 DX zoom. very compact, so plan on a way to separately carry a second or third lens.

Well padded, easy access

By Hclarkx

I bought this for convenient carrying of the camera and one lens. It does that very well. The foam padding is dense and protects well. The front pocket is adequate and handy for filters and an extra battery. I tried carrying a second lens in a matching Lowepro lens case attached to the side of this holster. That didn't work out so well. The combination is a bit ungainly and awkward, mostly because the lens case is also well padded and thus is a bit large to accommodate the lens hood. ...
