Lowepro 35mm SLR Camera and Accessory Case

The Lowepro is a super bag for the money. It is not large enough to allow the grip for my Sony A700 on the camera, but I can put the Minolta "beercan" 70-210mm lens on the camera and fit it in the bag. The front pocket is large enough to my 100-300mm lens AND a small, dedicated strobe (or the grip). The optional chest harness works well with this bag as does the optional belt. It is a great bag to wear on a belt or cross-shoulder.

I'm not sure about the 2 camera description for this bag, I got it because I've a telephoto and a shorter lense and didn't want two bag's for one camera when I switch lenses. With my EF 70-300mm lense on my 400D XTi it fit's great. Just right. I've also a Cannon ET-65B hood but you'll have to turn it around. Still fits fine. Figure the inside depth at a maximum 9 1/2" for your cam and telephoto on. It's got a strap that go's with, a wide belt loop and a nice wide handle on the lid. A zippered lid and I'm not real sure about how water proof they are. Theres a little 3"x6" pouch inside the lid. Theres also a 4"x4" loose pad and I use that to lay over the cam's LCD. Good value for the price. It's not junk!

I just received my TLZ2 today, and have been trying to fit all my gear in it. At first sight, it was much larger than I imagined. The front pocket is GIANT and fits a smallish lens (Canon 10-22) quite easily. For the price, it is a very solid bag. I bought it because I will be backpack travelling through Europe this summer, and I wanted a bag that allowed easy access to my camera while on foot, with the possibility of an extra lens plus some accessories. I think I made the right choice.

I can fairly easily fit the following gear into the bag, even with a bit of extra room:

- 40D with 24-105mm attached with lens hood on backwards
- 10-22mm (outside pocket) with lens hood detached (under the 24-105)
- Extra battery and charger (on bottom of bag)
- Cleaning kit including brush, spray and cloth (on elastic loops inside)
- B + W Polarizer in the plastic case that it came with (inner pocket)
- Extra memory card (inner pocket)
- Canon wired remote (outside pocket)

One thing about the bag that is weird is the reverse zipper to the main compartment. It makes opening the bag when it's around your shoulder pretty awkward. Also, for those of you with battery grips or full-sized bodies, I can't imagine them fitting.

Sturdy construction, all walls are padded, great protection: survived a car trip from LA to Mexico City with no problems for the camera or lens.

It's very easy and fast to open. First impression is that it's definitely much bigger than your average camera case: that's because it can carry a camera (in my case a Canon 30D) with a lens on (the smallish Canon 50mm 1.4) and another lens by itself underneath, at the same time .

In spite of this first impression it even fits inside a Domke F-802, which is more of a laptop bag.

Have had this bag for a few years. Has held up well to a lot of tossing around. The top load feature is great. Have had more than one occasion where camera was in bag but photo opportunity came up, and was able to whip out the camera pretty fast. Only thing I can think of is I wish the front pocket was a little larger, but other than that, it's been a great little bag.
