p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Lowepro Event Messenger 150 vs 250


Could I get some opinions on thsse bags from the folks that have one? I like the idea of it, it's thinner than the square bag that I have now. I also like the Mica coloured bag as opposed to the black.

How do you like the bag, does it serve it's purpose well?

I usually carry a Canon 70D with a Sigma 18-35 F1.8 attached. I also usually carry a Canon 70-200 F2.8 along with batteries, memory cards, and assorted cables etc.

The Event Messenger 150 says it can hold a tablet, perfect for my iPad.

The Event Messenger 250 holds a 13in laptop, would it be worth it to get the larger of the two bags?

Or would you recommend another manufacturer?

Thanks and regards.....Pete

I have the 150 . its an OK bag . but probably not in the league of any of the more expensive bags .

I have to say though that the 150 isn't really big enough for a 70-200 2.8 .
mine will hold a 5D3 with a 24-70/4L and a 70-200/4 L quite well . but my 80-200/2.8 L in place of the f4 is pushing it a bit .

as for an iPad , yes the 150 does fit an iPad . not that I've tried but it may even be able to squeeze my macbook air 11" ,

Thanks Ian, can you recommend another bag of this style that would be better? Why do you not consider it to be in the same league as any of other more expensive bags?

I would like to get the best bag of this kind. I picked the 150/250 due to it's shape and storage compartment, the bag being wide across and narrow in depth.

Thanks and regards.....Pete
