About this bag

Lowepro’s Magnum AW shoulder bag is built on the foundation of its predecessor: the original pro bag designed in 1976 and an industry standard to this day. The next generation remains an essential toolbox for the pro photographer: extra-portable, durable and flexible. The internal dividing system provides a flexible structure to accommodate lots of gear. A premium molded base offers sturdy and stable protection, water-resistance and stackability. Carry the bag with the Vertebral Tech™ Shoulder Strap: it provides comfort and spreads weight evenly—no matter how it’s worn. Additional features include: one-piece foam framing; rain-flap lid; Lowepro’s patented All Weather AW Cover™; oversized locking zippers (lock not included); metal D-rings, swivel hooks and zipper pulls; quick-release buckle on front of bag; quick-access organization pocket; 2 side pockets; 3 SlipLock™ attachment loops; removable accessory pocket; laminated mesh organization pocket and mesh ID pocket on lid; 2 padded hamper handles; centered padded grab handle; trolley sleeve; removable cinch straps on top of bag; built-in microfiber LCD cloth.

I was looking for a bag large enough to accommodate my EF 400/4 DO (a bit shorter then the more famous EF 300/2.8L), together with my 1D Mark IV with 2-3 additional lenses. This because the 400/4 DO (as the other big white telephoto lenses from Canon) comes with a great hard case (see picture) and with a lens hood which, in practical terms, doubles the dimension of the lens when fitted! I use the 400mm for sport events, both indoor and outdoor and I hate to arrive with two bags, one for the 400mm only. So this Magnum 200 AW is the solution (provided I forswear the lens hood...) to carry all the gear needed for a professional sport event. As you can see the 400mm (or a 300, eventually) is stored vertically in one half (where I store vertically the 1D+lens when I do not need the 400mm), and in the other half there is room for the camera (with the lens pointing down), an additional couple of lens and accessories. The bag is considered "soft", but in fact is more "rigid" then other similar bags, the base is hard and the cover system is really great. There are 3 handles on top: one typically longitudinal and 2 at the sides of the cover, for a better handling. This is the smallest bag of the series: 400 AW and 600 AW can carry more lenses and a notebook, but become bulky...

What works

it is deep enough to accommodate a tele-lens, rigidity

Room for improvement

None
