Good evening, does anyone have any experiencing of using this version? At that price, I'm assuming this isn't a genuine copy but I am wondering if the quality is good enough?

Thanks

I've not used this one but have a few other Lowepro bags and have had great customer service from them in the past. This is coming from China. I'm not familiar with buying eBay stuff from overseas, but you may be liable for customs charges, so it may not be as cheap as you think?

edit: It does look like a genuine one to me, but they may be very good at copying labels etc.
 
If the fake clothing is anything to go by, the image is of the original and may bear no resemblance to what you receive.
 
cheap and cheerful are you sure you want to trust your gear in a dodgy looking chinese bag have fun explaining to your camera insurer that all your gear just '' fell on the floor''.:(:(:( also theres no such thing as an ebay vesion,its just copied junk.

I got one of these from a different seller and it arrived from China in just over a week. The quality is fantastic and I have no reason to suspect it's not genuine. I have a smaller Lowepro that I bought over here and the quality is the same IMO.

I bought a cheap Lowepro slingshot on ebay a few years a go, which had the logo removed, although you can see where it used to be. I believe they had come out of the same factory but sold unbranded at a fraction of the price and the quality is fantastic.

I didn't get charged any customs or VAT etc so I would not hesitate to buy from China again, especially at half the UK price for what essentially seems to be the same bag.

Thank it for this, looks good, are there any attachments available for a tripod?

If other people have taken the risk and have good feedback then it could be worth a shot at that price :)
 
Unlike darkman I got one, had genuine ones also, had it not been for those I would have never known how crap the eBay fakes are, I have images somewhere but... the stitching is off line and weak, zips are weak, Velcro pads don't line up well, the dividers are crap and so on, they LOOK much the same, buy one and do what I did take it to a camera store and compare it to the same model, then you can see what's what, sent mine back after opening a case, refunded no quibble from the seller.
