Kosin. You may want to keep your 190XPROB for walking around.
I have both the 190 and the 055.

Thanks for the pics. I just ordered me a bag today. But I decided to go for a little more space in case I needed it and got the Manfrotto MBAG90P. I figured it was worth the extra $20-$25. How's the strap on it? Seems like I saw one review that basically said the only negative thing they had to comment on was the strap not being very comfortable.

I'll probably just have to wait and see. But I was wondering if I might be able to use an old Lowepro strap to an older smaller bag I don't tend to use much anymore. I like the strap but have no idea if it would fit on the Manfrotto bag or not. I'm not sure how the Manfrotto strap is attached. It may not be something that's clipped on and built into the bag itself.

I will have to look at it and let you know. I will take some pics of the strap for you.

Just to update I got my Manfrotto MBAG90P today. I was a little surprised to see the shoulder strap on what I would consider the 'bottom' of the bag. It wasn't easy but I took an old padded Lowepro strap from a small bag I hardly use anymore and attached it to the bag. There's a small loop on the front of the bag near where the zipper is. It took some work but I also managed to get it attached to the strap used to hold the bag up vertically. Feels comfortable. Looking at your pics I don't see the small loop that's on my bag. Maybe there's not one on the MBAG80P. I think I'm also glad I went ahead and spent a little more money for the 90. Honestly I thought I'd have a little more extra room on end.

I have that bag also along with the MBAG90P. It's very well made. Since I have the 090 and the 055 I needed a second bag.

Great Post! I'm 6'5 and the 055XPRO seems to be just about right (with the center column raised of course). Although....who doesn't like a little awkward crouching every once in a while ;)
