Anyone use the Lowepro Magnum 650 AW

If so please share your impression of it.

And if possible some images of it packed with stuff.

Thanx!

I don't own or use it, but was impressed with it's build, assortment and placement of chambers. B&H had it on display. It appears like it can get heavy once fully loaded.

Don't have that bag, but can give you a good referral for LowePro. I have had an AW300 for 2 years. The zippers have started failing. I am not too hard on the bag and thought it was too soon for that to happen.
They are sending me a new bag immediately.
I am really impressed.

Thanx guys.

I have 3 lowepro bags, and i havent had anything failing on me yet.

I should recive the Magnum 650 AW by the end of the week, ill report back with my impression.

Thanx

I have the ProMag 2 which is a bit smaller. I take it to all my events.

When I went looking for a bag, I also looked at the SR series.

I decided on the PM2, size aside, because it was better built (more rigid, better padding) and had a waist belt which is GREAT. I would not want to be at an event or walking around, with this bag, full, and no waist belt, which takes the bulk of the pressure off the shoulder (shoulder belt I use cross shouldered). The smaller cover also makes it easier to change lenses when the bag is on your shoulder. I didn't like the SR's longer cover (gets in the way when flipped up) and the zippered opening I found to be next to useless.

The countered shoulder pad is also quite comfortable. I do not recall if the SR had a different one.

If the SR series has an optional belt, I strongly advise you get one.

We all use our bags differently, so I am only pointing out difference that are important to how I use mine.

I assume your bag will be heavier than mine, when loaded.
