lowepro magnum aw loaded with gearlowepro magnum aw unpacked gear

This is sometimes referred to as my "Chiropractic Kit" since it weighs in at 24lbs loaded. I mainly do wedding, event, and portrait photography, so I'm not trekking through the woods with this. The camera bag is also frequently accompanied by a Tahoe full of lights, remotes and backdrop stuff (and is also where my tripod and FlipFrame live).

Thanks to Rob  for review


Reviews for Nikon D70 / D100 / D200 / D300 / D700

I was looking for a bag that would fit the Nikon D70 and 70-200mm VR f/2.8 completely assembled for easy/fast access. This LowePro Magnum AW is the ticket! I can have on the lens, Nikon 1.4x TC converter, hood and body ready to shoot! There is also alot fo room for other stuff, the flash will fit perfect in either one of the 2 side removable pockets, and the front pocket is very spacious too! Here's the pics....

Thanks to Jon Henderson for pics/comments.


Review #2


This is my third LowePro bag, not that I've blown through 2 others, it's just that I can't get ALL my gear in the other bag(s). In this bag, I have enough room for 2 bodies, 4 lenses, a flashgun and a light meter. Obviously, there is plenty of room in the other smaller pockets for CF cards, batteries, and film. Filters, tape and tripod mounts are found in the end pockets.
