I use a LowePro Reporter 600 AW every day and it has not missed a beat. I think Lowepro have reorganised their range but the designs are very similar. Here are some reviews: <http://www.photographyreview.com/cat/camera-cases/soft-case/lowepro/ PRD_135718_3124crx.aspx> <http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/news/articles/story_6667.html> <http://www.lowepro.com/Products/Shoulder_Bags/allWeather/ Stealth_Reporter_550_AW.aspx> I settled on Lowepro a long time ago and none of the dozen or so bags and lens cases have ever let me down or failed in any way. You get what you pay for! HTH Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
