Narrow, unobtrusive super processed, fast to use

Photo bags are always a problem: too big, too small, too flashy, too bulky ... basically you would need for each camera-lens combination a special bag. I already have a whole stack of them, for the short hike (Colt pocket), for the great photo tour (Sling Backpack) for the city tour with 1 lens, flash and subnotebook (shoulder), and so on, but all for the DSLR designed.

The Nikon V1 contrast accompanies me everywhere: on the one hand I needed therefore is a pocket in which I could use the camera with a second lens quickly reassign you and walk with the dog in the woods, but I was more important, a very narrow case that the labor backpack would match or briefcase when I'm traveling on business. The problem is that I professionally insets a 17.3 "notebook (or better mobile workstation). This I transport either in a backpack by Jack Wolfskin (the only ones where the oversize reinpasst clean), or in a Rimowa Pilot case. In both cases, is the rest of the backpack or suitcase relatively narrow, so that even a small camera bag, as I own for my old Leica M2, with no fits. And separately, I did not lug around the camera.

After a long search I came across the Streamline 100 by Lowepro. The small cross-classification I staggered so that a larger and a smaller area is created. In the smaller the 30-110 mm telephoto zoom comes in bigger the V1 with 10-30mm Standard Zoom They fit either lengthwise or crosswise into (ie, with the lens in the longitudinal or transverse direction of the pocket), but always at right angles, ie with the short side downwards.

The V1 fits straight into good. One of J-models can be certainly more easily into or herausbuchsieren, because these have the viewfinder Knubbel top of the housing is not, sometimes get stuck on the edge. With the total slightly deeper V2 Nikon could be quite difficult, however. All other mirrorless system cameras such as the Sony NEX, Olympus and Panasonic most models should fit easily.

The biggest advantage of the bag is in addition to the good workmanship and the accessibility to the camera and lens to the fact that it is extremely narrow, barely wider than the iPhone. So the bag fits especially well in other pockets inside (important for everyone, for example, move in their workplace and want while having a small system camera with second lens without a separate pocket haul, especially since not every company has pleasure in it if you visible with a camera comes to you). Until the acquisition of this bag I had when traveling mostly just my little Sony RX100 case, a very nice camera, but with fewer opportunities, which of course all fits in a small neoprene sleeve back. Just go I need but always rather the extreme focal lengths, both telephoto and wide-angle, so I was for a time even with my DSLR in the trunk road. The Nikon V1 (or similar small system cameras) now gives me the flexibility of the big DSLR, together with the Lowepro StreamLine 100 but at the same time (almost) the transportability of a small clippers.

The two outside pockets are more graphical in nature (the zippers look beautiful), basically you can store only very flat objects therein. The separation inside the bag is well solved: it can be put with Velcro closures, of course, but plus an integrated lens cleaning cloth, and a small pocket for spare SD card.

Conclusion: for a mirrorless system camera with second lens optimal, high-quality solution that I would buy again at any time.
