Lowepro Tag

If you have invested in a big body and bright long lens then you want it safe in transit and by your side whenever you can. They always say the best camera is the one you have with you and the right bag stops you wondering whether it’s worth the hassle.

Combine men with any hobby (or profession) and you’ll soon need ’storage solutions’ to carry not only the stuff they really need but also everything they might need if something unexpected happens…

The Toploader Pro 70 AW is a high-quality shoulder bag which can carry a pro-DSLR (Canon 1-series or Nikon D2/D3) or a standard digital SLR plus battery grip, with a standard f2.8 zoom lens attached. The classic topload design has been refined by Lowepro to include a few surprises…

The 220 AW, as with all Lowepro bags, has an excellent, heavy-duty build quality. You feel you could throw pretty much anything at this bag, within reason, and your kit would be OK inside it.

The bag arrived in a huge cardboard box which I thought must have been to accommodate extra padding, bubble wrap, etc. But no, this bag needs NO padding it’s absolutely solid: you could bounce bricks off it and it wouldn’t leave a scratch! Walking around with this in tow, I felt like a true professional; this is a no nonsense, don’t mess with me camera bag which is more than capable of delivering.
