from Murphy's Camera, Louisville, KY Summary: I bought this for a very specific reason: I wanted a small bag to carry my Elan II with mounted 28-135 IS zoom (with hood) and a 220EX flash (in the front pouch), with a couple of rolls of film and a filter or two. This bag meets these needs. I can get all of the above mentioned items in the bag, in addition to four AA batteries. I needed a convenient way to carry a camera/lens/flash combo in a weather resistant bag that allowed easy access. This bag fits this bill to a T. I highly recommend it. Note: your camera will not fit if you have a battery grip on it, but I knew this when I bought it, so it is not a weakness to me. The whole idea of this bag is to carry a basic one camera/lens combo and protect it well. It succeeds admirably in this goal. It is roomy enough to accept a 28-135 IS zoom with a hood in the storage position, so it should hold a standard 28-200 or 28-300 zoom as well. When I want more flexibility with lens choices, I put my 75-300 IS zoom in a Lowepro #2 lens case, and slip it on my belt.
As far as price, I got this for only $27, which seems like a reasonable amount of money to me for such a sturdy, well constructed product. Strengths: Sturdy, well constructed, light, water resistent, and is easy to carry, comes with a shoulder strap and can be carried on belt. Weaknesses: None if used for its intended purpose. Similar Products Used: Lowpro TLZ Pro AW for SLR and 80-200 2.8L Customer Service: Not used.
