Strength:

Tough, well constructed, well padded bag. Suitable for a body, two or three lenses, and perhaps a flash.

Weakness:

The more I use this thing, the more unhappy I become about the "patented lens bridge". On the one hand, it allows a camera with a zoom lens attached to be quickly accessed. On the other hand, I''m supposed to be able to use the area under the camera for a lens. This spot is an innconvenient storage area. It requires ripping velcro apart, and wedging the lens through two pieces of foam padding to get it in or out. On my particular vintage, there is a quaint drawing showing the "ideal" interior of the pack with a lens in the bridge next to an upright lens. The implication is that the lens in the bridge can be wedged between two additional lenses in the center pocket. This is physically impossible, and just makes me think that the whole lens bridge concept is a dumb idea in a bag this size.

A modest bag for a modest set of equipment. If you''ve got a manual focus, or a smallish autofocus SLR, this bag may work. If you''ve got a pro size SLR body, forget it.

Strength:

As rugged as can be expected and easily set up to the users needs. Can be set to carry two pro bodies, four primes (20, 35, 50, 85) and a flash. It''s tight, but it worked!

Weakness:

side pockets are flimsy and without any padding; i''m hesitant to put my more expensive filters in there.

I''ve selected this as my small "on the go" bag. Great for those who carry their cameras on their shoulders and just need a small bag for film and extra lenses.

Model Reviewed: 603 Zoom Traveler 3

Strength:

Small, lots of features that can be found on "pro" bags

Weakness:

A little too small for my Tamaron 70-300LD when it is not on the camera, but it will still fit.

Good bag for smaller cameras, or for times when you want all the features of a pro bag, but don't want to carry all of your gear.

Strength:

Nice Layout.

Can get a lot of stuff in a small area.

Carries most everything needed for a day outing.

Flexible layout, especially with moveable dividers and M.A.S. system that allows you to add additional storage on the outside edge of the pack.

Weakness:

Kind of small for a big guy's back!

Haven't found a good way to carry a tripod.

Great buy, excellent value. Rugged design that looks attractive and works well.

Customer Service

None needed.
