Hey everyone,
I'm currently shopping around for a new backpack for my new Dslr. I am looking for some suggestions on which bag would be the best fit for my needs. I normally will be using it for a few weekend day trips, which may involve some light hiking, or possibly take it up on the slopes for some skiing photography. So i will definitely need a bag with decent padding and insulation as to help fight condensation when i use it in the cold/coming into the warmth. Recently the lowepro slingshot 200 seemed to catch my eye. I figured the ease of the one shoulder strap would make it nice to take on the ski lift i could just slide it in front of me. As for the size of that pack i was wondering if anyone may have any personal experience with it. I saw on a few posts that people have used it for some 55-200mm lenses but i was wondering if my new sony a300 would fit well with both the kit lens and the 75-300mm lens that i got with it. I am always up for any more suggestions for a good new pack, im trying to keep it within a tighter budget so im am looking for something in the under $150 range so any suggestions/comments?
-btw here is a link to the slingshot 200 i found
