D90 + 70-300VR : Tight fit,
I have just received this bag and i am amazed with the built quality of it. I was looking on amazon and other sites for a review of what can fit into it. For some reason i could not find any information about what size lenses are okay to fit.
I have recently purchased a Nikkor 70-300mm VR lens which is kind of a big one and my old Lowepro Rezo 160 simply became too small for my Nikon D90+ 70-300mm VR. I had to buy another bag and i made my decision through this amazing Lowepro bag. When you put Nikon D90+ 70-300mm VR into the bag it fits tightly. Not bad as there is still a tiny bit of space so you do not have to force your bag’s zip. I have a tokina 11-16 and it is a large lens (accepts 77mm filters) which fits perfectly fine at 1 of 4 compartments which is located at a quick access part of the bag. There is plenty of space so what you want to carry simply depends on how long can you carry the weight. It feels lighter to carry the same items in this bag than carrying them in a shoulder bag(comparing to my Lowepro Rezo 160).
This bag has very nice bits and pieces that you will enjoy while discovering its features. It will be your ultimate bag wherever you go unless you are like Ken Rockwell and happy to carry 5 tonnes of equipment (you need a caravan)! Just joking, we all love him!
I hope this review will help you to make a decision, i bought mine from Amazon and it was delivered next day so 5 stars to Amazon (for the delivery) as well as the bag!

|Excellent Bag, but can ache after a while…,
I had bought a Flipside a couple of years back which just wasn’t big enough for my kit and I’m always frustrated about how to carry a few odds and sods around which a regular camera bag.
So after a lot of deliberation I bought the 202AW Slingshot. I’ve just got back from a 4 week stint using the camera (and bag) everyday. In short the bag is great. Just the right amount of space for; Nikon D200, 1 wide-angle, 1 telephoto and 2 Prime lenses. I also carry some ND Grads and attachment, remote trigger etc.
I really like the space for carrying a book, plus a few other things. Just about enough space for me.
The only criticism is that with the single shoulder strap, the weight is really not properly distributed accross your back and I definitly got some discomfort accross 1 shoulder after using the bag for a few hours (fully loaded). So stright choice of convenince over comfort. If you’re not going to carry it about all day, every day for a week or two, fine. However, if you’re going to carry it around for extensive timeperiods, be warned especially if you have any back issues.

|The best bags just got better…,
I bought a Lowepro SlingShot 202AW to replace a 100AW. The original series are brilliant bags but were missing an attachment for a tripod and sufficient personal gear space for me. Well done Lowepro..you listened. The *02 series all have a nifty attachment point on the side for a tripod (or use the attached snap strap to hold a cagoule on the side of the bag.)
The 100 was too small for my extra (non photographic) bits and bobs and I decided to move on to a 200…then I discovered the new range of *02 bags with the added extras, a bit bigger and more space. Absolutely fantastic bags.
Very comfortable to carry and very fast to get camera out.
