Re: OT - Lowepro Nova Sport 35L AW bag on great sale ($10 or less)

2016-01-11 Thread Stanley Halpin
I bought the Nova Sport 35L AW at the special deal price. If it weren’t so 
cheap I would send it back. As it is, I will keep it as a storage bag.

I have a LowePro backpack which is comfortable, holds most of my gear, 
[including spare batteries, chargers, cords, etc.], has a well-padded slot for 
a laptop, provision for strapping on a tripod. Just barely small enough (with 
tripod removed) to fit under the seat of the small aircraft that get me from 
here to a real airport with normal size planes. If I need extra space, I will 
travel with a carry-on suitcase and carry a lens or two and/or my back-up hard 
drives in a shoulder bag packed inside of the carry-on. However…

I have found that I really don’t like to work out of a backpack. So the 
backpack is for travel, but once I arrive at a destination, for a given 
day-trip I will usually carry camera in hand and a small selection of lenses in 
my shoulder bag. Much like Mark C’s strategy of carrying everything with him in 
the car, then selecting the day’s tool upon arrival. If it is gong to be a long 
hike in and/or I am not sure which lenses I will be needing then I’ll use the 
backpack. But mostly not.

For my shoulder bag I have an old Domke that I have had at least 10 years that 
was old when I bought it used here on the List. I would like something just 
slightly larger, and I was hoping the Nova Sport might be the answer, but it is 
way larger than anything I want to be carrying around, even if it were empty 
and weren’t filled with heavy gear.

So, my  bag quest continues. It would be so nice to live near a place with a 
large camera store with a broad range of gear that I could touch and feel and 
evaluate in person rather than through a website image+specs…

Horses for courses.

When I do field photography I really need a backpack type camera bag so I 
can walk unencumbered with hands free to carry a tripod and navigate on 
crude paths, if any.


When I was doing forensic photography, and the traveling that entailed, I 
used a hard sided Halliburton case that travelled well.

http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/index.php/photo-bag-comparison?blog=9

Comparing the Nova Sport to the big Tamrac 612 - you can see in the 
photos that the Nova Sport is a little taller. What you can't see is that 
the Tamrac has pouches under the top cover of the bag, so the vertical 
space within the bag is actually a good bit less. As a result - it is 
impractical to stash camera mounted on a lens into the bag, because the 
camera body intrudes on the lens compartments next to it, no room for it 
to rest on top of them. The Nova Sport has 8 compartments vs the 12 in 
the Tamrac, but as shown the Nova Sport has two camera bodies resting 
above the lenses within it. Those two bodies would each need a 
compartment in the Tamrac bag - so the actual difference in capacity is 
only two lens compartments.


But - the Tamrac offers a ton of ancillary space to hold whatever you 
want. I found that all my filters, spare batteries, flash cables, 
brackets, etc migrated to the bag. It's the ultimate mothership but can 
get pretty heavy when loaded up.


Comparing the Novasport to the Mini Trekker - the Nova sport can hold 
many more lenses, particularly larger lenses. The two bags are similar in 
size but I have three more lenses in the Nova Sport, two of which are 
pretty large (A*200 macro and 400mm f5.6). But again - the Mini Trekker 
had more general storage room. NOt as much as the 612 but still more than 
what the Nova Sport has.


Nonetheless, I'm pretty impressed with how efficiently the Nova Sport 
stores stuff, and for me it hits a sweet spot in terms of holding a lot 
and still being compact.

My copy of this bag arrived today and this afternoon I transferred

The only cons would be that the Nova Sport is rather light on 
general purpose compartments. I still use 35mm B&W film and had to 
cut back on the number of filters I packed and also added an 
external film bag where I was able to pack film in the general 
purpose compartment of the Mini Trekker. I still have to figure out 
how to fit in some of my macro brackets and a few other items.


But still - I'm figuring that the K-1 and attached zoom should fit 
where the Mz-S is now so I can see this being my main bag for a while.


Thanks again for pointing this out, Igor!

No, but wheels already exist.


Yeah, but somehow I don't see me rolling that thing around in the woods !


If you don't want the weight then you just have to take along less
equipment.


I use a Tamrac backpack  (it also can be carried as a shoulder bag) that 
can haul all my most used lenses - 28-80 F, 70-210 F, 200 ED Macro, 300mm 
FA, 16-50 DA*, 1.4 DA teleconvertor plus batteries,memory, filters & 
cleaning accesories - about all I ever use in the field.


The 600 FA has its own Kinesis backpack that is very comfortable to wear but 
weighs a ton, so it only goes out on special treks.

Bags don't subtract anything from the total weight of your equipment.
If you don't want the weight then you just have to take along less
equipment. If the Nova Sport 35L is too large but you like the style
and arrangement, consider the smaller sibling: Nova Sport 17L.

My bag is pretty stuffed and weighs 25.5 lbs (but a good chunk of that
is the laptop and power supply.) I wouldn't want to carry that on my
shoulder very far, but I only really need to get it between
accommodations and car. It is more about keeping things protected,
organized and easy to get at than slogging around with, for me.

One concern that I have with the bag is that this large bag might have
a greater weight capacity than it's engineering can handle. The
shoulder strap hardware (the D-Ring on the bag and the clip on the
strap webbing) is plastic. (What kind, I'm not sure, but I think we
all have experienced plastic that gets brittle with age or cold
temperatures.) I would sure prefer stainless steel fittings there. The
D-Ring could probably be changed out, but I'm not sure about the strap
hardware. One would probably just have to find a better strap to
replace the plastic one if one wanted that peace of mind. I'd hate to
have a 25lb bag of equipment hitting pavement from my waist height.

My copy of this bag arrived today and this afternoon I transferred the 
contents of the Lowepro Mini Trekker Classic to the new bag... and then 
added a few lenses.


So at this point I have the bag loaded up with the following:

K-3 with attached DA 17-70 f4
Mz-S with attached FA 28-105 f4.5-5.6
IR converted Coolpix 6000
FA 20-35 f4
F 28 f2.8
FA 50 f1.7
DA 18-55
DFA 100 f2.8 macro
A* 200 f4 macro
Sigma EX 70-200 f2.8
Tokina ATX 400 f5.6
AF360FGZ flash

It's a well designed bag. Oddly, it subjectively appears (to me at 
least) to be smaller than the Mini Trekker when it was fully loaded, but 
the Nova Sport is holding 3 additional lenses (the A*200 macro, the 
400mm f5.6, and the Da 18-55). I realized that I have almost as much in 
it as I used to carry in a very large Tamrac 612, which has 12 lens 
compartments vs the 8 in the Lowepro. The  Nova Sport better 
accommodates camera with lenses attached, so compartments aren't taken 
up with camera bodies (which wasted some of the capacity on the Tramrac 
612), but I am still carrying a few less lenses and a lot less 
miscellaneous stuff.


The only cons would be that the Nova Sport is rather light on general 
purpose compartments. I still use 35mm B&W film and had to cut back on 
the number of filters I packed and also added an external film bag where 
I was able to pack film in the general purpose compartment of the Mini 
Trekker. I still have to figure out how to fit in some of my macro 
brackets and a few other items.


But still - I'm figuring that the K-1 and attached zoom should fit where 
the Mz-S is now so I can see this being my main bag for a while.


Thanks again for pointing this out, Igor!

Thanks, Igor - ordered one last night. I have a small Tamrac (very old 
bag) that is a little too small for larger lenses (like any 70-200 f2.8) 
and an Urban Disguise 60 that holds a lot but is often more bag than I 
need.  The Novasport looks like it could fill the gap between those two 
bags and at that price its worth a try.

Thanks for passing that along. It might be worth noting that the
Adorama rebate is in the form of a prepaid Mastercard that expires 4
months after issuance.

The orange one is $34 (33.98) on Amazon, but it is not as good of a deal 
as the grey one.

There is a sale going on @ Adorama on this (as far as I understand 
discontinued) bag: Lowepro Nova Sport 35L

It is listed now for 19.99 (with this e-mail-promotion sale),
with a $10 Mail-in-rebate.

$9.99 is a good deal for that bag.

On top of that, - if you own a Chase Freedom Card, you might take an 
additional benefit with a $15 statement credit if you use Visa Checkout:

https://checkout.visa.com/campaign/us/en/chase/freedom-statement-credit/index.jsp
(Just in case, - the latter offer is not limited to Adorama, but it is valid 
for purchases through 12/31/2015.)


I hope this would be helpful to some PDMLers.

PS. I just bought that bag.
