It looks like a good one but $33.95 for shipping from CA is ridiculous. It may be his cost in case the winning bid comes in very low. It should be interesting to watch to see if anyone is willing to pay that much for shipping (gravy).

Roy - I have the smaller version of this bag, also from the same seller... His prices never go high, I guess it's his way of not paying much for the listing fees?

Anywho, my bag delivered ended up just under $20 Useful - yes, built - ok, dividers and lining is not as "solid" as premium manufactures, but it serves the purpose for the money, I've had mine just about a year, still fully intact.

Regards,
D

thanks D. i dought one for a buck and hope it'll serve my purpose. 150-250 for a namebrand is jusy too much. biggest question is, do the dividers stay where you put them? i just need something large for the 300/2.8 and the 500/4.5.

It's hard to tell from the picture. It looks like it has nice padded straps and a belt strap but I can't be sure.

Does it have D-rings on the straps for clipping stuff to the front of the strap with a carabiner? It pretty obviously doesn't have side slots for monopods or trekking poles.
