Just bought a Lowepro Nova 200AW

[Ben:]

Just bought it from Warehouse Express as my Slingshot 100AW isn't big enough to fit everything in.

And I'm very impressed!
3 flashes, 50mm 1.8, 50d with 17-70 attached, batteries, charger, filter, usb lead, memory cards.
Even managed to fit my 100-400 in!!
And still with space to spare



A little advert for the TP Strap too

Did you not fancy the slingshot 200?

Hadn't looked tbh

Looks like a good bag too, with lots of capacity.

Wanted to get away from the fast access, 'photojournalist style'. And just have more of a 'holdall' bag.

ALSO:
The Nova has hard rubber feet underneath so good for putting down anyway. Whereas the slingshot seems mainly a 'carry all the time' bag.
Just checked again and the Nova has more capacity. Just found 2 external side pockets

(just trying to justice it in my head )

I've got the 200 & it's quite a good bag, the thing I like most about it (perhaps a bit oddly) is that when you 'sling' it around to the front, it's at a height I can use to rest my elbows on for extra support & stability.

I've never experienced that with my slingshot 100. Possibly due to the size.
Hopefully I've made the right choice as I intend to use it more for storage when not using gear and transporting it. Not so much 'walking about'.
