p.1 #1 · Sling Type Camera Bag


Does anyone have any experience with Kata Torso Pack (T-214 GDC)? Comfort, accessability, capacity....

I currently own a LowPro Sling AW200 which on my first outing with it I really enjoyed (6hrs) but the 2nd time out with it (about 3hrs) I found myself making constant adjustments it kept riding up my neck. I want to like the bag so I will try to make some adjustments to the strap (tighter more loose). I carry a 30D, 24-70mm 2.8L, 70-200mm 2.8 EX, 580EX, spare batteries for the camera (x2), filters 77mm (x2) and hand carried a monopod or tripod. The camera was around my neck 98% of the time with the 70-200mm mounted on the camera about 80% of the time, maybe I need a new camera strap.

My other bag is the Tamerac Velocity 7 very comfortable although smaller I can carry the same gear but the 70-200mm get hung outside the bag which I have worn while out riding quads (http://www.photosbyjonathan.phanfare.com/album/223192) and had know problems as far as comfort. Minor issues with access but for the most part I really didn't need to get into the bag to often. Any comments?

not sure if this is an answer to your question, but i've owned both the lowepro 200 and the tamrac v9. the 200 wasn't big enough to carry my d200 with 70-200 2.8 attached, but otherwise i liked the bag. i still have the v9 which i use sporadically (only when i need to bring a long lens attached) and like it except i wish it had a snap closure on the main strap like the 200. it's a bit tougher to get on and off, otherwise it works well for me.
