Large size, lots of padding, All Weather sheath, removable dividers, tripod loops, waterproof interior pockets, ideal dimensions for carry-on luggage, waste belt and padded shoulder strap.

Replaces my backpack which has too many pockets anyway.

This bag has been around since 2000 at least, so if you find one at a thrift store somewhere, grab it quick. It is a great bag for all sorts of photo and non-photo uses.

Could use another zippered pocket on the side rather than two web pouches. But, hey, who am I to complain...especially for the price I paid!

I bought this bag to use as a general purpose travel bag, not for photography equipment. The size is right for everything I need for a summer road trip. I pack light-weight, easy-wash, quick-dry, high-tech clothing.

My travel cameras are 1. a Canon S90, tricked out with the custom grip and the Lensmate 37mm filter adapter (circular polarizer) and 2. a Canon Digital IXUS 860 IS in a DicaPac waterproof case (for snorkling, beach abuse and foul weather). I also use the tripod loops to hang a Velbon Maxi 343E lightweight tripod.

So basically, I have a full-featured semi-pro pocket camera which replaces my DSLR while on the road and a 28 - 105mm fast-on P&S for conditions where I do not want to risk the S90.

Plenty of pockets and room for equipment. Padded shoulder strap. Nice top handle. Well-padded. Very versitile divider system. Bag sits upright and doesn't fall over. Looks nice. "Carry-on" size.

Chunky shape. Not for theasual tourist! Designed for people who carry a fair amount of gear.

My 2nd review. Has a zipper mesh pocket on the very top and inside the front pouch. Another zipper pocket in back. The design of the front pouch is nice. It helps keep your small stuff from spilling on the ground. The expandable loops on the sides of the bag seem useless. Whatever you put in these loops will probably fall out and be lost. There are plenty of adjustable dividers in the main compartment. I am only using a few of them and my gear is still well-protected. Has a torso belt for those who would like to carry the bag this way. But because of its' size, I think it might look a little silly to have this bag strapped to your body. This bag is CHUNKY. It's great for storing your gear and for transporting your stuff from one place to another. But, I would not want to carry this bag on a day hike or while sight-seeing in the city. I got my new bag at a great price! Do a search in E-bay.

Size. Holds about every lens I need. After seeing how airport handlers toss luggage around, decided I will always carry my camera gear.

There are film loops on the side, useless. Give me extra pockets instead. Zipper is suppose to be weather proof, but I would prefer an overlap flap to cover it anyway. Wish they would offer colors other than just black. This bag can get very heavy. Wish they would come up with accessory straps to convert to backpack carrying mode.

Big Bag. That is the best description for this product. I know there are larger, but this is a big bag for the average photographer. The advertisements say 2 pro camera bodies and 4-5 lenses. I pack a Nikon F5 with a 35-70 zoom attached. Also in the bag, 17-34 zoom, 80-400 zoom, 60mm macro, 16mm fisheye, Metz 54MZ3, extra batteries, all the lens hoods, film and a Spectra Pro meter. And thats inside the bag. I like the depth as any lens can be mounted on the camera and stored in the bag. I prefer Tamracs lens bridge setup, but this works fine. The front pocket compartment could have been a little larger. I could only fit two 77mm filters in their cases there. the top pocket is fairly useless, awkward to get to and very flat. Waist belt is a load off the shoulders. Tripod belts are useless unless you use it off the bag for some other purpose. The snap locks are suppose to provide instant access to the bag, I wish they would have had an overlap flap to protect the bag when not zippered shut.

Provides a good protection for your gear, Has enough space to hold everything which you really may need.

A bit heavy, the tripod straps are just for fun: you cannot use them to hold any normal sized tipod, perhaps a small monopod only. Not a cheap bag.

Good bag to hold a typical set of SLR + four lenses+flash+accessories. Very robust, nice paddings, tough outer shell, looks bulletproof. Two buckes on the top are very handy, allow you to keep the bag unzipped providing easy access to the main compartment when you are on the run. Belt is a real bonus, helps to balance the bag on the shulder.

perfect size. stands upright and has plastic feet. Solid and rugged.

could be slightly bigger maybe .5 inch.

I have 8 camera bags and this is the best so far. It can fit my D30, Canon 100-400, 16-35, 50, 70-200 F4 all with either of those attached to the camera. It also fits my 550EX flash. I also carry a small lowepro S&F bag to carry lens hoods, filters and other accessories. Perfect so I dont have to mess around with the huge bag.

many lowepro and tamrac bags

sturdy, thick padding, very well made, attached rain cover was a bonus, big enough to hold a EOS 3 attached to a 100-400.

bulkier than I thought, not much room for other stuff coz of padding.

my biggest wish would be the ability to turn it into a backpack easily

Great! compact but not too small. The bigger the bag the more crap you carry. (K.I.S.S. should apply) Ample pockets, flip out pocket excellent idea. Good strap points, good stong stiching and proper sized webbing for shoulder and waist.Get the harness system, saves the shoulder/neck/back on longer trecks. The pocket condom won't protect from heavey rain but will sure keep you from having to visit the repair guy yet again.

It will handle what is says it will, without looking like a baloon. Really nice size for the airport security, overhead/under seat storage, as long as you decide not to carry the kitchen sink. This company knows how to make a bag to handle ten thousand feet or just to change terminals at Heathrow(sometimes more dangerous)

I hope I never have to find out
