Tamrac 5203 Photo Explorer 3 Soft Case

Tamrac 5203 Photo Explorer 3 Soft Case 

DESCRIPTION

The Photo Explorer 3 was designed to carry and protect a 35mm or APS SLR camera with an attached zoom lens up to 6 3/4" long, 2-3 extra lenses, a flash and accessories in foam padded, adjustable compartments. Unsnap the hidden Tuck-A-Wayâ„¢ hip belt, remove the padded shoulder strap and this shoulder bag quickly converts to a convenient hip pack for hands-free action photography.

Strength:

Can be carried via handle, shoulder strap, or hip belt. Lots of room inside. I like the sliding front filter/film pocket

Weakness:

A better design would be to have the top flip away from you rather then towards you when worn on hip.

A great bag if you spend a lot of time in the field. I find the hip belt much less taxing than a shoulder strap.

Customer Service

When my hip belt buckle broke, I called Tamrac and they immediatly sent me a replacement at no charge.

Strength:

Divider system, lots of room, converts to a hip pack, overall finish and construction.

Weakness:

A little bulky, heavy especially when fully loaded

This looks like basically the same bag as Model #704 but cost about $20 less.

Customer Service

Haven't had to use it

Model Reviewed: 5203 Photo Explorer 3

Strength:

Lots of pockets and holders, hidden hip belt and removable film/filter pouch plus plenty of space for all the gear

Weakness:

It's kind of bulky but then, when you consider what you can fit in it, it's not surprising.
Also, why so expensive out of America. I had to by mine over the internet as Tamrac bags are totally unaffordable here in NZ.

A brilliantly put together bag that works well.

Customer Service

Had no need to experience it.
