Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $100.00

Summary:

I have my camera (N80 w/external battery pack)with an 80-200 f2.8 lens attached, two additional lenses, a teleconverter, extension tube set, two lens hoods, assorted filters, and about 15 rolls of film in this bag. You would never know it by looking at it. This is an awesome bag/pack. It also has a tie down for a tripod.

Strengths:

Compact, versatile. I can carry it on my shoulder and pull the camera out of the bag ready to shoot without taking the bag off of my shoulder. Low profile. Well padded.

Weaknesses:

It could use a few small pockets for pens, film, etc.

Similar Products Used:

Tamrac backpack.

Customer Service:

Not needed.

Model Reviewed:
Trim Trekker Camera Bag/Pack

Summary:

Up to now, great bag for me. I don't need another one since this one has everything I need: versatility, speedy acces and quality building

Strengths:

At first I bought it because of the "drawer" for my Metz flash. But I was also looking for a bag which was discrete to carry through a crowd. In additon I got a small back-pack which came in very handy when I was on vacation. Then I put a bottle of water in the "drawer" which stayed fresh for the rest of the day. I didn't need my Metz in the summer. I put my 2 bodies (one with grip, 2 lenses and 2 flashes in it (films, filters, etc. too) and it's a pleasure to carry it on your shoulder or back. For me it has been my ideal bag after trying a hard case and a softer bag. You can use the dividers in such a way that your cameras are always ready to shoot.

Weaknesses:

None after 5 years of extensive use under different circumstances

Similar Products Used:

A hard alumnium case. Not good FOR ME, traveling and walking through crowds. A second bag (don't rememeber the bran
