This video review was very well thought out and extremely informative! I appreciate the time you took to show real world use and applications in the field. This review definitely stands out! Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the question. I don't have first hand experience with Lee 100mm filters but, I looked it up for you. The bag should easily accommodate 100x150mm filters in the padded space, upper compartment or back pocket. The filter holder should also fit in the padded area or upper compartment (depending on what else you need to carry). You also have room to customize by adding Street & Field SlipLock pockets just for the filters. So, I feel fairly confident saying you will have no problems.
Great job explaining the features of this bag. I have the 302 AW and it carries more but, like you said, you can get carried away loading it. I am ordering this one. Less is more! I have a Manfrooto Bee Free tripod that will work well with this. BTW, I like your thoughtful easy going temperament.
Thanks for the reply and I appreciate your comments. I hope this bag serves you well. I have a couple of other reviews on my account if you are considering other Lowepro bags. Best of luck.
I owe this bag and whilst I agree with your comments about its built quality and design, I personally find it totally unsuitable for any activity over an hour long. In my personal experience anything above this time frame, especially if also carrying a tripod, results in back pain. As a result I hardly use it and am thinking of replacing it with the flip side 200 (to compliment the flip side 400 that I already owe)
I hiked with this bag yesterday and i had back pains when I got home. I carried only a few gear with me. 5dm3, manfrotto tripod, and a flash. A coin pouch, and water. Its a nice bag but I don't think being a sling bag fully supports your back. I'd rather buy the flipside backpack.
What kind of tri pod did you get to fit? I bought a vanguard alta pro 263ab 100...and I don't see this ever fitting. Unfortunately...I bought the vanguard before the bag. I plan on keeping both cause I love the quality. But I really wanted something to use with the bag. Thanks in advance my friend.
Hello and thank you for your question. I used a Benro tripod. I don't have it in front of me for the exact model number but, it is similar to the "Benro A1690 Aluminum Travel Tripod." According to the specifications, that tripod is about 40cm when folded. I would suggest nothing much longer and certainly nothing heavier. I hope that helps. Enjoy the bag.
Hello Raphael and thank you for the question. I am not sure if I fully understand but, I will try to reply. The Slingshot 202 barely fits my Canon 70-200mm lens mounted on the body. Your lens would probably not fit within the 202 while mounted on the camera. It may fit the larger Slingshot 302 bag but at that size, I would recommend getting a backpack for comfort.
I am left handed myself. It hasn't reduced its effectiveness. Consider that cameras are meant to be held with the right hand, the bag must follow suit. If the bag opened in the other direction, you would not be able to grab the camera properly and be ready to shoot.

What an awesome, down to earth review... this video in itself is making my decision to go with Lowepro... thank you Chris!

Great review...talked about real life situation and not just the bag. Thank you
Great review! I got mine today and I love it!

Wow, thanks for that, I really appreciate it. I think I'll get this bag. I already have the old AW100, but I can't fit the filters in that one.

Picking one Up Today, Great Review.

great review! just made my mind up! thanks :D
Don't know if you have tried this, but is there room for a Lee 100mm filter holder and some filters in this bag?
Great review!
good review, thanks
will a camera fitted with a 70-200 2.8 fit without removing it from the camera?
+jethrox812 If I recall correctly, the 70-200mm lens will NOT fit while mounted to the camera body.
Hi, nice review. I am wondering how did you attach you water bottle with the bag?
The water bottle holder is part of Lowepro's Street and Field series of accessories. They strap easily and securely to many Lowepro bags.
Thanks.. I appreciate for responding my query ..
Hey cool Video
Can i do in this pocket a EF 100-400mm?
Or how high is a trade?

I don't know about you but the cops show up when I try to shoot in subways or shopping malls. You have guts to shoot there.
i'm left handed :( this bag will not work.
