Slingshot 200 AW copycats

on eBay....

I have no idea if it's any good but I was perusing "shoulder bags in the photographic section and was intrigued by this. I have a Lowepro SS 200 myself, which I like a lot, and was very surprised to see something so similar for a good deal less money - under half the typical UK price for the real thing.

Further research then found me this....

I don't know if these links will be of interest to anyone but if so....

Looks good, but the 'build' quality might won't be as tough or last as long as the lowepro.

I actually bought 1 of these but the smaller 100. I can't say how it compares to the Lowpro, but its very well made. Everything is well cushioned and no flaws on any of the stitching or buckle. The strap feels very sturdy, I looped it around a pole and yanked on it pretty hard, nothing ripped or stretched.

I bought it on ebay and initially though I was buying a Lowepro. The seller used the AW100 title too...my fault for not making sure. Anyways it was cheaper and I got a partial refund from the seller. Most importantly the bag is not disappointing at all.

After looking at the demo on bhphoto, the Lowepro comes with a macrofiber towel that is sewn into the inside pouch to clean/protect the camera's body and lcd screen against the zipper. My bag does not have that, but that's no big deal, just grab 1 from the car detailing pile.
