Customer reviews

Great small bag
This is perfect for an slr, one extra lens, and there is extra space up top. Great day pack.

Excellent Case For Minimal Equipment
The Backpack is solid, well built and is good protection for my equipment.

My Nikon D50 with 18-200mm VR Zoom and my speedlight 600 fits comfortably in the camera compartment (with the speed light flipped down). It allows me easy access to get the camera in and out of the bag when the bag is on my left shoulder and slung around to my front. The upper compartment is large enough to hold what ever I might need during a day out.

fits my Nikon D40 with 18-200 zoom lens
I do not understand the previous reviewer's comment that a SLR with 18-55 lens does not fit in this bag. Maybe he is using a big pro-style f/2.8 lens? With proper configuration of the pads, my Nikon D40 SLR with 18-200 f/5.6 zoom lens fits fine in the camera compartment and there is a padded pocket for a small extra lens or flash. If you want to carry more gear, one of the bigger Fastpacks is probably a better idea.

I like the small size of this bag for long walks around town. The Fastpack 100 is significantly smaller than the Fastpack 200, so I do not have to worry about bumping in to people on the sidewalk or when standing in a bus.

The top compartment of this pack holds extra supplies (or lunch or a guidebook). My only complaint is that the water bottle pocket is too short and too snug for a 1 liter water bottle. The bigger Fastpacks have a bigger and more flexible water bottle pocket. A 1 pint water bottle will fit in the pocket pretty well.

Compact bag, holds a lot
This bag is more compact than the one I had previously, but it holds everything I need for a day photo shoot. Holds well on your shoulder and almost don't feel I am carrying extra gear on my back.

Avoid
This pack does not fit an SLR camera and lens. Even Canon's 18-55mm lens. Need you know any more?
