2008/8/15 AlunFoto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Bob W. recently posted about his favourite camera bag/holster for biking. > > After some thinking I purchased a LowePro TopLoader (TLZ2), with > harness, which I went on to test for a 50 km outing today. > I tried to link to the product page at http://www.lowepro.com but got > a server error. Must be a Friday Afternoon Syndrome. > > Here's some quick observations: > > - The TLZ2 can easily accommodate the K20D + DA* 16-50/2.8 with hood > attached. It will accommodate a K20D with a Sigma EX 70-200/2.8 too, > if the hood is reversed. > > - A velcro alternative to the top zipper would have made it perfect. > The zipper goes around on three sides, and can be fiddly to open when > a shooting op presents itself. > > - The harness is fair enough for biking, but leaves the bag further > down the chest than I like when biking. For walking it's great. > > - The TLZ2 could easily become too long for people of shorter stature > than 180 cm (6 ft. to the imperialists). That is, the bottom of the > bag will clash with your thighs when biking. The TLZ1 is smaller and > may work well for all. My reason for choosing the TLZ2 over the TLZ1 > was the option to accommodate a camera with eg. a 70-200/2.8 or > (hopefully) the DA 60-250/4. A shorter harness may have solved the > issue too, but probably with the bag up under your cheek. > > - The extra weight on the chest does something to my sitting position > on the bike... But I guess my muscles will tell me more specifically > about that tomorrow. > > > Jostein > > > -- > http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/ > http://alunfoto.blogspot.com > -- http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/ http://alunfoto.blogspot.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
