Our equipment, which should fit in:
- DSLR EOS 500D
- Canon EF-S 17-85mm / 4.0-5.6 / IS USM Lens
- EW-73 B Lens Hood for Canon EF-S 17-85mm
- Canon EF 70-300mm 1: 4.0-5.6 IS USM Lens
- ET-65B Lens Hood for Canon EF 70-300mm
- External Flash Canon Speedlite 430EX
- Small tripod
- Small items
We could divide the bag so that the camera with screwed 17-85 and "extended" lens hood (so you are right at the ready ...), fit in the big lens with reversed screwed lens hood and the lightning. Small items such as memory cards or so fit into the small compartments. Left and right on the bag there are mesh pockets for example, small water bottles. In the beginning we had in there put the flash, because we thought because of the bag dimensions, which does not go into his pocket pure anyway, but it has now done so ...
You can also attach a great tripod outside.
Overall, the size of the (packed) Photo bag is still quite good. That it is not a small carrying case, is clear in all the accessories that you here has. But it really is still acceptable by the size. Not too broad and deep (such as Inverse 200) and yet very convenient to carry. The hip carriers are well padded and wide. With the tightening straps can bring the whole bag to the body. The weight is distributed very well on the hips and as absolutely nothing tilts when it is fully loaded. Since nothing falls with opened bag out (unless you leans itself so far forward that anyway must fall out everything).
Genial is the integrated rain cover, because under the jacket really brings you no longer have the camera bag.
And super course, is that if you carry it forward, protect equipment against thieves.
About the quality you have to say not much. The is as always very well from Lowepro.
We would buy the bag immediately. Just the thing for a city tour or something.
A small note, for those who want to pack in a waist pack even more:
In our opinion, is almost achieved with the above-mentioned equipment, the limit on how much you can comfortably carry on the hip. Even more lenses in an even greater hip bag - well - since then the Fotorucksack must nevertheless sometime ago. Although the has the disadvantage that it is not quite as quickly ready to fire and you have to watch any more, that nothing will be stolen, but it is more convenient then all.
