Lowepro TopLoader 75AW

Now, for you wide body cam boys, here is a view from overhead. As you can see, there is *plenty* of room for the D2H and similar. There is extra padding that can be removed running the length of the bag to the sides of the cam. The extra piece of pad you see above my cam is designed to alter the depth of the bag by velcro attachment. I first placed it in the bottom of the bag for extra padding and the zipper would close but is too tight. That pad is approx 7/16ths thick. I intend to get a 1/8" piece of closed cell foam to place in the bottom for a little extra padding. If you are careful with your gear, the existing bottom padding is enough -- but "just".

Are you looking for a small bag but are worried about not having enough space for extra lenses? Don't think a backpack that you have to take off every time you want to get at your camera is the only option. You may want to check out the Lowepro Toploader 75AW. This is a very slim yet versatile bag. It consists of a deep main compartment, with a two way zipper on the top for very easy camera access and a front cargo pocket that can be made into two sections and accessed from the top or bottom. The AW in it's name stands for All Weather as it has a rain cover that straps over the top zippered area to prevent leaks. The great thing about this bag is there are two carrying methods, shoulder strap or Chest rig (included) Now I know your thinking dam, I have a long lens or lenses where the hell am I gona put them? I must need a larger bag… Nope! Though the bag is small the dimensions are deep and wide enough to hold a professional SLR body with grip even when coupled to such lenses as the Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM or Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM (hoods reversed) or two smaller lenses. There is a slim area beside the length of the lens for accessories such as a blower or off shoe cord. The top lid has a zippered pocket to hold media and lens cloths. While the front cargo pocket is large enough to hold a pro flash and a few other items. Sounds good but I have multiple large lenses that I just cant go without. This is where the versatility of the bag really comes into play. Use of lens cases (sold sep) and the Slip Lock system allow you to up your capacity to a Pro SLR body + three large sized lenses or water bottle.
