Lowepro Apex 140 AW Shoulder Bag

wezza13 · 4 Jun 2018

Anyone know of a bag that is similar in style, yet bigger?

I have this Lowepro Apex 140 (link here : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lowepro-Sh...39199&sr=1-6&keywords=lowepro+camera+bag&th=1 ).

Need something a bit bigger, as I currently carry my Sony FDR-AX100 camcorder in it but I also want to now add my Panasonic GX80 camera and Leica 100-400mm lens.

Any ideas much appreciated! Need to order soon as well, as I'm going on holiday Sunday.

Thanks,
Wez

There's this one, though it may not be bigger enough (it's pretty darn small still): https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B013MC8BVW?tag=22

Thank you, but I think it's a bit on the smallish side

Currently looking at
Lowepro Nova 200 AW II

Seems like it'll do the job...

That looks OK, but is a crazy amount of money.

It certainly seems so, but if it does the job. I'll probably put my Mavic Air in too as there should be room.

My daughter bought one of these for a New York trip https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vanguard-Oslo-25BK-Case-Black/dp/B00RXCIKIW

I have a Lowepro Rezo 160AW and its bigger than that, reckon it would do you.
Its currently sat in my house, if it's any good could ask her if she ever intends using it again.

The 100-400 is about the length of an Olympus 40-150/2.8 or a Nikon 70-200/4 and you need at least a 170 to fit one of those; however, that's without a camera mounted.

Looking at the figures. I'm not sure the Nova 200 is any deeper than the 170...

I think I'd better get to a shop on the high st to take a look for size I suppose

This might be overkill, but... Lowepro ProTactic SH 200 AW

Given the size, you might prefer something like a Lowepro Toploader Pro 75 AW II

Tamrac used to do some similar ones -- most of the old ones used to have straps you could use to attach small belt pouches with additional lenses or a small body.
