Lowepro Slingshot SL 250 AW III

Looked for a compact bag to travel in south east Asia. Could carry my Canon R7, RF/EF adapter, sigma EF 24-105mm in the bottom compartment. Compact rain jacket and RF 100-500mm in the top compartment. Plus 1 or two spare batteries, some snacks etc. the cross body strap was weird at first but really comfortable once used to it. Especially using a crossbody on the opposite shoulder. Balances out.

Bought as my go to bag for street and travel photography, after about a month of use I’ve got nothing but praise for this bag, absolutely perfect for what I needed!

I bought this as a replacement to the AmazonBasics Sling bag which I had to return as being to small. I was looking forward to receiving this as the measurements indicated it was bigger, but not by much. It is a very nice bag. Slim fit and well made. Nice thick strap. I have a Nikon D5600 with a 18mm-140mm lens. This is still a snug fit in the bag but unlike the Amazon Basics bag it did fit allowing the flap to close. I also have a 70-300mm lens and this also fits. However there is no room for anything else in the camera compartment. If I had the D7200 or D7500 I think it would be a very tight fit and not sure the bag would be suitable. The accessories compartment is big enough for a few things and the front pocket will hold clothes lens wipes etc. It does have a waterproof cover but it would have been nice to have this folded into the bottom of the bag instead of taking up room in the accessories compartment.

Just received this, the quality is good as with all Lowepro products, BUT:I am a big guy, and with just a t shirt on the sling strap is just about long enough, but is uncomfortable. It will not be possible to carry it with a jacket on. Also the padded part of the strap is small. I understand that many buyers will be probably smaller, so this may not be an issue for them. For me it's 3 stars and a return.

This bag would have been perfect were it not for the cross body strap being so uncomfortable. The padded section was way too short and the left a narrow strap digging in. This is only really useable by very small and slim people. I returned this and got the back back version which is slightly larger but way more comfortable.

This is a quality item, well made and designed... BUT -1. The main 'camera' compartment barely fits my Nikon Z7 with 24-70mm lens (after some adjustment and loss of space for camera accessories). Not recommended for bulkier DSLR camera bodies.2. The shoulder strap on my bag appears oriented to wear only on the left shoulder. is this correct? Surely most right handed people would prefer to carry the bag on their right shoulder?

Internal dimensions are tight to the given sizes, if the dimensions seem about right for what you require, get one the next size up.

It is a lovely bag, don't get me wrong but the Lowe Pro product demo video and photos makes it look much bigger than it is. I have a Canon 77D and a couple of lenses, it just about fit the camera with lens (70 - 300mm) in and my little kit lens. Other storage compartments are good but there is no way it will take a water bottle. As for my 100 - 400mm lens, I will have to carry it in a separate bag. With the 100 - 400 mm lens on, the it simply would not fit.
