Lowepro Pro Runner 350 AW DSLR Trekking Backpack

I wanted to buy a bag for my SLR and was contemplating between Lowepro and Kata. Based on my research there was little to choose between the two and I went for Lowepro simply because a Kata counterpart in the same price range wasn't available with Flipkart. In hindsight I have to say I can't imagine that the Kata bag could be much better than this one. This is an absolute first rate product.

I currently own a Nikon D5100, 18-55 kit lens, 55-300 zoom, 50mm prime and a Tamron 90 mm macro. All these fit quite comfortably in the bag and there is still space for a flash unit which I haven't yet purchased. I might probably be able to fit in a couple of more lenses too.

In addition to all this, it also carries my 17 inch Toshiba laptop with its charger and data card, spare batteries, memory cards, user manuals, my tripod and other sundry stuff.

The quality of the material is excellent and the bag is extremely sturdy and comfortable. I accidentally dropped it once from a height of 8 feet with all my stuff inside. There wasn't even a single scratch on either my stuff or the bag itself.

I would highly recommend the product. If you love your SLR, look no further, give it the bag it deserves.

All of us at some point of time come to this juncture. Which Bag ?? My kit consists of the following
Nikon D90 - With battery grip
NIKKOR 18-105mm
NIKKOR 70- 300mm
NIKKOR 50 mm
NIKKOR 35 mm
Polarising filters , Cleaning Kit, etc

Wanted to upgrade from my Lowepro 200 AW ,as it was unwieldy and was becoming stretched to accomodate everything.

I considered the Kata, Lowepro, National Geographic but finally settled on the Lowepro again reasons being

1. Build quality is excellent.
2. Spacious and accommodates everything and still has room to spare
3. Multiple buckles and belts to customise the bag as per your choice

It takes my camera with the battery pack and the biggest lens attached. Very convenient to just grab the camera and you are ready.

Highly recommended.

I bought this bag from Flipkart last week. This is my first experience with then and I am impressed. They did a good job on packaging and delivering on time and also the person who delivered the bag was very polite.

When I started unpacking the box, I did not expect the bag to be as big as it turned out to be. It is very spacious and very well built for its price on Flipkart(Costs 1750/- more in stores). With this bag you can have all your equipment in one place along with a laptop. Lots of pockets/spaces for all the photographers needs.

If you are looking for a bag to carry only one SLR body and 2 lenses this may be a little too big. If you plan to add more equipment in future this is the bag to go for.

I ordered CompuDay 250 prior to it, but cancelled it as I needed a rugged bag, rather than a mere carry bag.
This bag is Sturdy!! Too mush for my needs..

Holds-
Nikon D3100
2 spare batteries
18-55mm & 55-300mm Nikkor lens
Ancient all metal Full size tripod
Dell Inspiron 15.4" Laptop
Clothing, enough for 2 day trip

Cons-
My Nikkor 55-300mm can't be fit in Lens facing Outwards position. It has to lay down, in same position of that of Camera-attached-lens.

Overall-
Expensive, but a good buy!

PS-
Lenspen (free accessory) works great!

A good bagpack for SLRs and long lenses, can fit multiple lenses and other accessories, can also fit laptop. you can fit 2 SLR bodies comfortably.

camera area well protected, padded laptop sleeve, backpack straps, airline carry-on sized, tripod mount system
Not very comfortable as a backpack as it is big and the shape is box type. It becomes heavy when you carry laptop with all your accessories.
