Even though the Fastpack 350 is no longer in production, I decided to do
a quick search for New Old Stock, to see if there were any still around
in stores. While they can still be found in American stores for the
nominal $130, there are also quite a few available on ebay from dealers
in China in the $60-80 range.
I can see myself wanting to eventually get a pro-tactic 350 or 450, but
this looks like some great deals on a great bag, while they are still
available.
Do note that the Fastpack 350 video is not the same bag, it is much
closer to the Fastpack 250 AW in size and features.
Where my 350 was big enough that I could carry all of the lenses that I
frequently need in a wide range of shooting conditions
( both a range of fast primes: 31, 50, 77 and maybe 35 macro as well a
range of zooms: 16-50, 28-75 and 18-250, and if need be stuff my korean
fisheye in the top pocket) the 250 is a smaller pack that would allow me
to carry the gear that I am likely to need for almost any one type of
shooting (a hike in the woods, or portraiture, or low light dance
photography), it is not quite big enough for me to easily just grab
without having to think about what sort of photo opportunities I might
find.
