Review #1

Added: 29th April 2007

I was most interested to see from several reviews at cambags.com  that none of those who have reviewed the Lowepro Slingshot 200 AW seem to question the basic layout of the bag, as it comes from the factory, which requires that you open the flap fully to access your lenses - which is not only time-consuming but means risking that all your lenses fall out!

For what its worth, I found an alternative layout in which my lenses are accessible with only half the flap open (Slingshot owners will know what I mean - I hope), and I've been using this arrangement successfully for a few weeks now.

Here's a picture of the bag showing four lenses ready for use. The area in the middle is covered by two flaps which normally...

... would be closed over the lenses like this, so the bag is ready to receive the camera and mounted lens (this is what I would see looking down, when the bag is in the working position in front of me):

And this is what the bag looks like with the 7D in place - there's quite a bit of space, especially on the left, to take the camera's shoulder strap, and there's a little built-in cloth (stowed away for this picture) to protect the LCD.

Finally, here's a pic with everything taken out. The flash and other bits and pieces live in the outside pockets.

In real life the bag looks quite small, it's light enough and comfortable enough to carry around for a couple of hours at a stretch, and it's an absolute pleasure to use - way better than a conventional top-loader, IMHO.

Thanks to Mink on Dyxum forums for review
