Looking at a buying a very lightly used F-Stop Lotus (blue) with medium ICU.
It's a bit of a drive to check it out, so before I do, was wondering if anyone has this bag and experience with it.
Specifically, the hip straps - I'm 6'2" big build. I find the hip strap on many bags goes over my stomach and too far from hips to be useful unless I loosen the shoulder straps quite a bit. For instance, I find the Lowepro Flipside 400AW does this which make it a bit uncomfortable to use / carry.
I've heard great things about F-Stop products, hoping it would fit.

Any opinions about the Lotus bag are welcome! I don't tend to see many of these come up for sale, hoping it's because people like them so much! :)


I have a photographic memory, just wish I'd remember to take the lens cap off more often! :oops:

Finally was able to answer my own questions!
Picked up the Fstop Lotus today with Medium slope ICU - fits great.
The waist strap is about an inch lower than the Lowepro Flipside 400, so MUCH more comfortable.
I can also fit either my 13 or 15" macbook pro in there as well in a pinch!
