Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM (hood reversed)

Great bag, lots of room yet doesn't look it. I had the mini trekker 100, but was too small to fit anything but d50 and 18-70mm lens.
Got domke f-2, great bag, tough to fit all my gear though, still a great shoulder bag if i am not carrying all my gear. Then got this, i am happy.

Likes about the bag: Weatherproof, huge compared to how it looks

Dislikes about the bag: heavy even when empty

Review #16

(Added 16th Jan 2007)

Equipment list in bag :
Canon EOS 1D + Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM
Canon EOS 20D + Canon100 BG-E3 + Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM
Canon EF 17-40mm f/4 L USM
NP-E3 battery
4x BP511A Battery
databanks; PD7X/PD70X,
all lenses except 17-40 with hoods 

It's my workhorse bag, I use it most of the time for my aviation trips. The config here is not my usual one, it's more to show how much one can put into it - however, I actually used it like that twice when going abroad with the plane :) The backpack is absolutely brilliant - apart from what you could expect as Lowepro standard, you get a very strong zipper that firmly closes the top even if some items are sticking a bit out of the "usual" depth (I miss that feature in the Nature Trekker). The front pocket is very deep, once I went to the Berlin air show with only the Minitrekker and all of my personal stuff (clothes, toothbrush etc :)) packed there. And, yes, the plane... while "regular size" backpacks like Nature Trekker are made to fulfil the norms for the carry-on luggage, the reality is sometimes less optimistic.. and Mini Trekker is the safe bet.

Likes about the bag:
Everything: quality, flexibility, capacity, large front pocket, AW cover, smart tripod holder, solid zipper

Dislikes about the bag:
Can't think of any. This one is just perfect.
