Customer Reviews

Great bag
Excellent bag with the 'sling' function of sliding to the front. Wish it had more things to tie stuff down to, I'm not the biggest fan of the sliplock system.

Not quite a custom fit but workable
I have a Pentax 10D with 2 lenses and some filters. While it holds everything and should hold a flash also, it is a bit difficult to customize the interior to snuggly hold the gear. I may be nit-picking here but I don't like my equipment to jostle around while on the move. Worth what I paid but the Pentax version of this item would have probably been a better deal.

smallest big backpack i've had
I call this a backpack because it still goes on your back but it's really a slingshot bag, which is it's biggest advantage. The fact that you can take out and put your stuff in it without taking it off completely is a great advantage. I've had this bag for a few days now and i'm loving every minute of it over my old bag (Tamrac Cyberpack 6, a true MONSTER!) It holds my Nikon D200 (with grip), Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8, Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8, Nikon SB-80DX flash, Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 (with hood) and if I really needed to, I could jam my D50 in there. I still have room for another small zoom (Sigma 10-20mm/Tokina 11-16mm) or two more primes (more reason for me to buy the Nikkor 35mm f/2.) I loaded the top compartment up with batteries, cards, and cleaning stuff, and still the weight feels nicely balanced. The only complaint I have is the placement of the memory card holder in the camera portion of the bag. I feel it presses against the camera body a little too much, but maybe i'm just a little too cautious around my gear.

The small straps that go over the compartment and protect it from opening up too much unexpectedly are a great idea by Lowepro. It stops the weight of your gear from pressing against the flap and opening it all the way (as well as emptying your wallet with new gear). It takes a little getting used to the one-strap-that-goes-diagonally idea, but once you wear it for a little bit you'll realize it's easier to take on and put off. The weight feels nicely balanced on my back and my shoulders and I have no complaints about this part of the bag.

I would assume that the other Slingshot series bags are just as good as the 300, with the exception that they are smaller, and I would have no problem recommending this to someone who wants a backpack that can hold a lot of gear yet still remain fairly small. If you have a Nikkor 70-200mm VR or 80-200mm AF-D this is probably the Slingshot bag for you, none of the others would hold these wonderful lenses.
