In the U.K. this item is being discontinued, although if you shop around you can still purchase it. I have been told that a new range of bags is being launch in the Autumn. Has anyone looked on Lowepro web site recently, there is a new range of Magnum AW bags shown there, what do you think of them? I have two bags at the moment a Magnum AW and a Slingshot 300 AW. The Magnum I use to store my gear in at home. The Slingshot I purchased to carry around a Canon 5D and a Sigma 70-200mm f 2.8, it does what it says on the label, and you can also fit all the extra gear that you want in it. But, I do find it very uncomfortable on my shoulder, and yes the bag can be moved round to remove your gear, No problem when you are walking around, this is what it was designed for. When you sit down and put it on the floor and want to remove your gear then the fun starts. So to come to the point, as I cannot obtain the Pro Mag 2 AW, then I have ordered a Compact AW instead, this being very slightly smaller but will suit my needs being an shoulder bag. All I can say is if you want this bag, then hurry up and buy it.

There's a D50, 18-135, 75-300,SB-400, spare batteries, Canon DV, Garmin Nüvi, rocket blower and some other small stuff in it. For long walks I use the waistbelt so my shoulder doesn't get "overloaded". It works just fine with me. Regards, Bart (Belgium) Hi Scott,

Just read your book "The Digital Photograhy Book". Easiest read and best presented information (on the subject) I have come across. Regards, Des. Scott,

My standard content items are: Nikkors 70-180mm & 17-35mm f/2.8 & 35-70mm f/2.8, with the D3 attached to one of these lenses. A spare battery, a USB card reader and a Filter fit in the front pocket. There is still room left for a flash etc., but the bag would be too heavy for me to carry around. The bag works really fine, everything can be reached without having to put the bag off my shoulder. Even lens changes are easy with this bag. What I like best: Big enough for the "small everyday"gear - not bigger so I am not tempted to fit more inside. Convenient to carry around for up to an hour; for longer walks or hikes I'd prefer a backpack. Thank you for your tip ! Hi Scott, after reading this review I got the bag from B&H.

You mention a closeup filter in your bag, and I was wondering what vendor and magnification you use? I am in the market for one and would welcome your advice. Thanks in advance, Kevin Scott,

I've settled with a Lowepro Commercial AW after a costly mistake when I took a Lowepro 2 to a Wedding I was photographing. Basically I lifted bag to go from one position to another when the zip fasten door (I hadn't zipped shut) swung open and the only item to fall out was my f/2.8 17-55mm lens. A repair bill of £526 ($1070) I well and truly learned my lesson! Needless to say, the Commercial AW is serving me very well. Regards, Glyn Hi Scott,
