Product Description

On streets or trails, you can shoot all day when you wear the lightweight, comfortable Fastpack 350 backpack by Lowepro. It protects a digital SLR with grip and a 24-70mm f/ 2.8 or 70-200mm f/2.8 lens attached, plus 17" Widescreen notebook. Generous storage for additional lenses such as 18-200mm, 100, 400 VR, or 70-300mm f/4, flash, and other personal accessories. You won't miss a shot, because side-entry compartments let you grab equipment and accessories, even while you're on the move or without taking the backpack completely off! Customize the easy-to-access main compartment with adjustable dividers, use the outer organizer to keep larger accessories handy, and manage memory cards with a built-in pocket. Brethable, contoured shoulder straps distribute weight evenly.

Handy, comfortable camera bag
 
Review Date: February 6, 2010
Reviewer: Janet Kuzawa, SACRAMENTO, CA, US
This is a great bag! I asked, and I received (thanks Babbo)! I am an amateur photographer and have recently transitioned from a digital camera (Sony Cybershot DSC H-1) to a DSLR (Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i). I have every intention of adding to my collection of lenses and instead of purchasing a bag that carries what I currently own, it seemed wise to both my father and I that I purchase a bag that will fit my needs as I mature as a photographer.

This is my first camera backpack and I love it! It fits my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1525), my camera, my flash, and my two lenses. There is adequate padding and it remains comfortable while I'm walking. Yippee! There are two areas in which I feel could use improvement: 1) There is no contraption to attach my tripod to my backpack, and 2) The pockets holding my camera and lenses are not as snug as I would like. Having read the reviews prior to deciding on this purchase, other customers have made mention of these design "flaws" as well.

So, in sum, great camera bag and with some minor adjustments, it can be close to perfect.
great pack for photographers

Only the bottom HALF of the bag is for your camera, lenses and accessories. The top half is an unpadded compartment for your personal items.

I purchased this bag HOPING to use it for my trip to Venice this coming July. I'm bringing a Nikon D700 with the MB-D10 battery pack/grip and Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 lens attached. Along with the above, a Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8 lens and my 50mm f/1.4. This camera bag will NOT hold all the above. It WILL hold my D700 w/battery pack attached and 70-200mm lens attached, but even with the lens hood out of the case completely, it BARELY fits (due to the length of the 70-200). I could not fit AT ALL my 24-70 lens (with lens hood removed) when the camera and 70-200 are already in the case. The 50mm fits fine. The camera itself was not a problem... but if you have a 100% pro system (full size FX sensor) with more than one pro zoom, I would strongly suggest you look to a bigger CAMERA bag. This bag would probably be fine for non-pro lenses, since they are more narrow, and usually shorter in length. The 70-200 f/2.8 does not change in length as you focus or change zoom setting like the 24-70 does when zooming.

For amatuer format (DX) DSLR's and lenses, this is a VERY well constructed bag... and attractive. It would probably be best to check this bag at a local pro camera shop to see if it can hold ALL the equipment you plan to use,without having to literally force your lenses into the tiny lens compartments (even with the two small partitions removed!) Lowepro could have made this a better bag had they only added 1.5" to the overal interior width of the pack!

I'll be looking for a bigger CAMERA bag before I go on my trip.

Pros: Rugged, Plenty of room, well padded and comfortable, fits all my gear.

Cons: Wasted space on the top, no place for tripod


Good pack tough enough that I feel it will last me a long time. No place for a tripod unless you get creative. Very comfortable.

A great bag. Compact for its size, I can carry my D-200 with 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, 18-55mm f/2.8 lens and flash in the lower section. Upper section has plenty of room for my KATA raincover, windbreaker and pullover cap, which is accessable with ease. This is extremely handy, especially when the weather takes a turn during football games.

My 15-inch laptop fits in the side pouch with no problem. All that gear can be heavy, but shoulder straps are padded and The hip and sternum straps help to distribute the weight correctly.

Unlike other combo bags that I've owned, which were much wider, this Fastpack 350 is compact and should be no problem being a carry-on for taking along on plane trips. I highly recommend this bag.
