Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)i have this backpack, and use to carry my nikon d80. as of yet, only have 1 18-70 lens, and seems enough to one or two more. don't do hiking, just walk arround the city, but i have lots of non-photographic material. tried the kata 3n1-10 and 20, but they are small for that material, tough they do have better inner organization pouches. and so far these are the pros and cons:
pros:
- all the fabric seems of very good quality
- there is enough room for camera and even more for non-photographic material
- i have 1.6 m. for me, it has the perfect ergonomy. heard that taller people have some trouble with it
- good padding all-over. i feel 1 could play soccer, with the camera now. i don't think i will though
- side access to camera compartiment
- didn't test the rain cover, but it's usefullness seems prety obvious
cons:
- the side access is good enough for my camera. but a biger one, or mine with a grip, wont came out
- altough the straps improve the ergonomy, they get in the way to the access of the top compartiment
- asside from 2 useless zipper inner pouches (because the zipper is much smaller than pouch), there are absolutely no inner puches. kata 3n1 seems much better at this.
- if the fabric is waterproof, probably means the rain cover should only come off in very heavy rain. But then why is the 3ยบ outter compartiment exposed to the wather?. if i leave it empty, the stuff inside the backpack will be ok, but that will be filled with water or dust, acumulated on the bottom. if i use it for a jacket, it will become dirty for those reasons. it would be much better of with just straps. and i don't want to use the rain cover all the time
- the outter pouches are also very sparce. for any kind of backpack, even more a protographic one, this is a bugger
- the straps one that very same flap seem to have a weaker stiching, just to the edge of the fabric. they are unlikely fragile
all in all, seems the best backpack from lowepro. almost regret to not have kept the kata. only saw the cons after using a while, and can't return it
