Thanks again, I have ordered the 200AW model, see how I get on with that I really like the idea of the integrated side access for the camera.

Oh I am on the smaller side, around 5'7"

I'm 5'7", too, although I think of myself as tall (As a woman, I think 5'7" is tall enough to be considered tall, even though I'm on the short side of tall ...)

I have the Lowepro Photosport 200AW and I really like it. It's a good fit and sits comfortably - I'm fairly broad-shouldered. I like the light padding on the hip straps (which also have small pockets - not big enough for a smart phone but will usefully hold other bits.) I used it as my carry-on and frequently as photo expedition bag on a 3-week trip to Borneo earlier this year. In addition to holding my K-3 with 18-135 attached, 55-300 and 77mm f/1.8 in the main camera compartment, I also carried my flash and the 15mm f/4 in the top-loading compartment, as well as a few other camera accessories. The top zip pocket held a few small, flattish items, the internal zip pocket held my passport and wallet, and the bladder in the back held my 11.6" Asus laptop.

I tend to use a sling bag for daytrip photo expeditions in the city if I'm only carrying a camera plus on extra lens or camera plus flash. However, if I carry more than that, I prefer to use the 200AW because it deals with the weight better (less train on my shoulders and lower back).

Excellent, thanks for the reply, sounds like it should be ideal then! Look forward to recieving it, got a trip to the Peak District in a few weeks to road-test it!

Thats a K-01 with a DA14 (+Hood in soft case) underneath with plenty of room for at least 2 lenses and my DP3M.

Arrived today:

A very attractive and handy looking pack. Has the additional advantage of not looking like a camera bag.
