Comments about Lowepro Magnum 200 AW Shoulder Bag:
well I just bought a D700+14-24 2.8+24-70 2.8 already had the80-400 all Nikon and I must admit that it,s a tight fit I've got the MD-10 mounted on the camera and had trouble finding space for my SB800, but the quality is first rate, very sturdy but a bit heavy, I had a Compact AW for my D90 and all the lenses and had enough space for everything, unfortunatly not tall enough for the D700 with the 24-70 mounted.

Well I owned this for several months before I decided to sell it to switch w/ a smaller bag, BUT... It was a big mistake! I thought I won't be buying any more lenses but I needed more than what I expected. This bag is a pro design, very durable, great for everyday use, protecting gears, travel & other purposes plus it's lockable! It's just perfect!!! Now i have to put this on my wishlist and probably buy it again sometime in the future and also hoping that someone will buy it for me LOL.

I've used LowePro for over 30 years and this bag doesn't disappoint! It's well made, lots of pockets and storage and it holds my new Canon 7D with battery grip with no trouble. I've also got a 480 & 530 II flash units plus a few lenses and other peripherals. It handles it all with style and safety. I especially like the rain cover that's built-in! I don't have to go running for something to throw over the bag because the rain cover is already there. Perfect!

Comments about Lowepro Magnum 200 AW Shoulder Bag:
This is a great bag for going outdoors. The padding is nice and thick between compartments and the compartments are deep enought to hold a large flash AND large lens plus the camera itself. The only downside is it is rather large and if you are walking around it is cumbersome. I feel that my camera and gear are safe when they are in the bag and the top zip makes for easy access. Love it!

Comments about Lowepro Magnum 200 AW Shoulder Bag:
I have many Lowepro bags including 4 of the Stealth Reporter series (400, 550, 650) but wanted one specifically for camera bodies that offered a bit more protection. The Magnum does just that with a molded bottom and stiffer outer walls. This bag maintains its shape even when you stack other bags on it or have to tip it on the side. I use it for a 1D Mark-IV and a 1D Mark-IIn. There is still lots of room, but I do have spare batteries, memory cards, and some cleaning stuff in there now.
It's not as big and roomy as I expected, but a larger bag, like the Magnum 400, would have been too much for the purpose.
The Magnum is very well built and has some serious closures, zippers, and lash points for lots of options.

Comments about Lowepro Magnum 200 AW Shoulder Bag:
This is a standard LowePro bag with LowePro quality and padding.It is designed to fit 1 large DSLR camera with battery pack, several medium lenses, flash, lens cleaning kit, filters.But it is a little large for my use as a "go bag"/"tourist bag" where I want to put my D7000 (no winder/battery pack), sb800, 28-300mm, lens cleaning, filters, but not large enough as is to accommodate, snack, drink, map, .... So I added two mole pouches to the ends and the bag is not efficient use of space, but it is the best bag on the market for my use.

Comments about Lowepro Magnum 200 AW Shoulder Bag:
This bag is fine for someone with a large digital camera (D300S with battery pack) and a couple of lenses, filter and a SB-800.
This bag is standard Lowepro quality (which is good and solid, but not perfect) and it is padded.
For me, it is not a perfect fit. I wanted to use it as a "go bag"/"tourist bag". I put a D7000 in it with Nikon 28-300 lens, SB-800 and filters. The internal space is not utilized well. Additionally there is no space for snacks/drink. So I have hung two mole pouches on the ends of the bag for food and drink. This makes for a fairly large bag for the gear I am bringing. LowePro use to make a slightly smaller bag. This would have been a perfect fit, but alas they don't make this bag any more.

I was looking for a shoulder bag that could hold my DSLR, 3 lenses and hoods, flash and miscellaneous other items. I was able to configure this bag with room to spare!! It will also tote my tripod.

Comments about Lowepro Magnum 200 AW Shoulder Bag:
This bag is excellent. I prefer shoulder bags as they allow you to access your gear without putting the bag down. With this bag I can fit my camera (5Dmk2) with the 24-70 2.8 attached with the lens hood in the forward position, and it can also fit with the 70-200 2.8 attached (lens hood reversed), so no need to change lenses if you need to put the camera back in the bag. This bag allows me to carry all my gear very comfortably, 1 body, 3 heavy zooms (24-70 2.8, 70-200 2.8, 11-16 2.8 and two prime lenses 28 1.8 and 50 1.4) along with flash, CF card readers, filters, batteries, notepads and other accessories.
Carrying the bag for long periods of time is not an issue as the strap is really nicely padded, hiking up a mountain is no problem. It also includes a nice removable pouch that has CF card holders. The reinforced tough-bottom is a very nice touch as well, as you'll never worry about where you're setting your bag down.

Holds my d700 with 24 70 mm 2.8 lens as well as 70 200 mm 2.8 lens with room for flash media charger and filters with a little room to spare. Good mid size pro bag. Have a lowepro commercial aw which was too big to walk around with especially if you are not trying to draw attention. Build quality is excellent like most lowepro bags, a little more sturdy than Nova series. Would highly recommend for pro zoom lens or 2.8 lens users that need the extra depth. Otherwise would probably go with the appropriately sized nova series.

Comments about Lowepro Magnum 200 AW Shoulder Bag:
When I bought this bag online, I wasn't aware of all the features it had. The photo description on the web site doesn't do it justice. This bag has a ton of features and best of all it holds all my stuff (digital SLR, 4 lenses, flash, batteries, etc, etc) bottom line it has a ton of space, and then some. One of the reviews I read before buying this bag mentioned: it was hard to get things out of the bag while it was on your shoulder. I photographed a local high school football game with the bag on my shoulder and had no issues changing lenses and batteries.
Overall a fine bag that I'd highly recommend.

Love this bag, great storage and very well built.. I took this bag on a trip to Jamaica. I packed one camera body (D300 + grip) and three lenses, and still had room for personal everyday needs like wallet, keys, phone extra batteries and a flash....

Comments about Lowepro Magnum 200 AW Shoulder Bag:
If you want a bag that can carry 1-2 camera bodies and several of your lenses (prime or zooms) in a fairly compact and weather resistant package, this is the one for you. Lowepro always does it right. I have owned their Hiking backpacks for years and have several smaller camera bags from them as well. Sure, you might pay a little more for them, but Lowepro bags will protect your gear and allow you to travel with ease. Perfect for taking on a plane as it will easily fit under your seat or in an overhead bin.

Comments about Lowepro Magnum 200 AW Shoulder Bag:
This was my second choice after buying the Tenba medium shootout shoulder bag. That bag didn't last 1 day and was sent back!
So far I love this bag! This bag is big on storage! I have this bag loaded with my Pentax K10D, 18-250, 55-300, Sigma 70-200 f/2.8, Sigma 10-20, Pentax 360 flash and everything else needed. I could probly fit a couple more lenses into it. I still have a lot more room in all 3 pockets. I really like the option to hold tripod on top of bag. The shoulder strap is very conforable. The bag is very well made. The bottom of the bag is made of a harder material great for putting down on the ground. The bag is big but does not seem big went carrying around. I went on a 3 hour walk and felt very conforable with the bag loaded and tripod.

Comments about Lowepro Magnum 200 AW Shoulder Bag:
This bag is great. all purpose, strong, nice looking, it has it all. I put everything i own in this bag and it still isn't full! the carry strap is padded and very comfortable, even when it's got a lot of stuff in it. the side pockets are great for papers you may need, a note pad and pens, whatever it may be. the AW cover is great too, incase you're ever caught in bag weather. the only problem i have with this bag is it is difficult to get ur gear without taking the bag off ur shoulder, which isn't a big deal most of the time, unless you need ur camera in a hurry.
all and all, highly recommended!
