Lowepro Street & Field Specialist 80 AW

The bag is very well build. Quality material. However, it's not very friendly to use. Zipper makes it very difficult to open and close which make me don't want to change the lens. Front pocket is very big, I can put 5-6 rolls of film, batteries and a couple of filters in. The shoulder straps that comes with the bag is not so comfortable. I can only carry this bag for half an hour then have to switch it to another shoulder. Another weakness of this bag is that it's shape is quite round, so it feel awkward when I have to run.

However, this bag has a good capacity for it's size. I can put SLR with grip attach to a lens, 3-4 small lenses, flash and 80-200/2.8. (but I still coudn't figure out how to put 3 of 77mm filter size lenses in the bag)

What can I say, you need to have this bag or the 85 aw. Perfect for day trips. You get the quality construction in this bag just like all Lowepro products at a reasonable price. There is a large pocket in the front to stick filters and film, an inside pocket for other things along with the pocket on top of the bag. Lots of pockets for lots of stuff. I can stick my N90s with 80-200mm 2.8 (2-ring) in it with the lens down. It's a tight fit and doesn't leave much room in the pockets on top. I would get the 85 AW if you plan to use it that way. I can also stick my 20mm, 24-120mm and a Nikon FE in it too, tight fit side to side. AW cover is nice to have but doesn't cover the sides of the bag much and would cause problems if it was set down in the rain. After looking at many bags I found this one to be the best for my needs. If you have a larger camera like a F5 or want more room in the top pockets get the 85 AW. The 85 is an inch deeper and 1.5 inches taller. **The weakness part looks long, but it's just little stuff that I found to be not perfect and don't out weigh the stengths by any means.**

Reversed zipper may not be at handy as implied. It's hard to get at because the zipper is right by your side and the shoulder straps compress it making it hard to open. The best way to zip and unzip it is to keep both pulls at one end. Bag could be a little wider because it's hard to more than 3 lenses in it. This may not be a weakness because it gets heavy with more than that in it and if you plan to carry more than that, you'll need a bigger bag!
