Lowepro Adventura 170 Shoulder Bag?

Has anyone used this bag? I'm thinking of letting go my 6MDH and my 7MDH for something smaller and less bulky. I'm not crazy about spending money on bags over $100 anymore. I read the B&H reviews but no one can answer my question to see if it'll fit a 60D gripped w/ flash and one other lens if I needed it. I think my lenses all share the same height if anything, they are in my signature. Just needing one to walk around with on campus and I'm not real fond of the Crumplers anymore since people keep bumping into me in the hallway during rush time. >>

I don't own it but based on the description, it will not hold a gripped camera...

"DSLR with attached standard lens plus 2 additional lenses or flash and accessories; or camcorder and accessories"

Usually, if it holds a gripped camera, it says "Pro DSLR".

oh thanks for the heads up..my bag search continues. I was just filtering shoulder bags at B&H. lol QQ

Take a look at the NOVA series from Lowepro. I was looking at the Adventura line, but the NOVA series from them has a lot more pockets.

I too have a 7MDH but keeping it for when I needed. I upgraded from a Lowepro SlingShot 200AW. I'm also not fond of spending over $100 on a camera bag (I got my 7MDH for $35 on sale).

Im looking into the Lowepro Inverse 200. I'll be carrying my gripped Nikon D7000 w/Sigma 24-70 attached, 50mm 1.8G and SB-600. The 100 would of been nice but too small to fit all that. The 200 would be big enough to hold all the essentials and would seem like a great walk around bag.

Do you ever run around with your gear? I was looking at the Inverse earlier too and I was thinking how I would hit my gear while I try and run...I run a lot when something goes wrong during activites and such..maybe I'm just odd. xD

I just do it as a hobby like family events. I don't do gigs so no running around. I bring my bag, if I need my camera, I put the bag down, get the camera and do what I have to do. That's only because we're at a house or a location where I don't have to worry about my bag. But sometimes, its too big to lug around. I'm also going on vacation in October and I'm looking for a bag that I can carry around with ease and just bring the essentials. I just came back from Minnesota with my 7MDH and went to a museum. It was a little too big for me. That's why I'm looking for something smaller.

Ebay has the Inverse 200 for $49-55 with free shipping. Not a bad deal at all considering I see some people selling the Inverse 100 for $50-55 and its used. I don't work too far from B&H Photo so I might stop by and check out the Inverse 200 if they have it on display and see what used gear they have also.

If you weren't using a grip, I'd recommend the Lowepro Classified 160aw, nice and compact.
Will fit the body and 3 lens (one attached) or 2 with a flash. They are extra tall which helps with the tele photos
