The Lower Prorunner 350AW is my travel bag. 70-200/2.8 on one side, 15-30 in the middle below the K-1+24-70/2.8. Spare body next to the 15-30, remaining room in the main compartment for spare batteries, chargers, whatever. Back pocket for iPad and paper files (I used to carry a 13” laptop there), front pocket for little stuff like SD Cards, car keys, phone… This all fits under the seat in CRJ regional jets. If I have a tripod along, it straps to the outside, is removed and placed in the overhead on the plane so that the bag will fit under the seat.
But once I am at a destination, I switch to a Domke shoulder bag which is barely large enough to carry a K-1 with one of the shorter lenses, the K-1 + 70-200 is on my shoulder or around my neck. I have tried about 4 different larger shoulder bags, all feel too large and awkward to me. So my tradeoff is to carry less, try to plan more carefully what I need when I am out and about away from my base where the 350AW stays with the remainder of my gear. Unless of course I am shooting not too far from my transportation and I can leave the larger bag there to be delved into if needed. In brief, there is no perfect bag, but there may be acceptable compromises depending on work style and other circumstances. sta > On Apr 28, 2018, at 3:13 PM, l...@red4est.com wrote: > > I absolutely love my fastpak 350 for my aps gear, but it hasn't worked so > well for my K-1.
