Excellent reviews, as always.


I have both the Toploader Pro 65 AW and theToploader Pro 75 AW, and find them very useful. I often carry theone of them with a Lens Case 1W attached (which holds a variety of lenses - 16-35mm II, 17-55mm, 24-105mm, 35L, 85L, 135L, etc.), or theToploader Pro 65 AWwith a S&FQuick Flex pouch containing a flash (since unlike the 75 AW, a flash won't fit in the side pocket of the smaller toploader).


One comment about theToploader Pro 65 AW for anyone interested in that bag: Bryan states that it snugly holds a gripped body and a 24-105mm f/4<span style="color: #ff0000;"]L IS with hood reversed- it certainly does, and I'd say comfortably, rather than snugly. Mine snugly holds a gripped 5DII or 7D with a 100mm f/2.8<span style="color: #ff0000;"]L Macro IS attached (hood reversed), which measures 0.6" longer than the 24-105mm.

As always, excellent reviews for the Top loaders from Bryan. I

I would like to ask John, which of the S&amp;F Quick Flex pouches does he use for his flash.

Hi Luis,


I use theS&amp;F Quick Flex Pouch 55 AW for a 430EX II. If you have that flash (or the 430EX, which is the same size), it will also fit in the Lowepro Sliplock Pouch 10 (which has been discontinued, but is still available from some sellers for a bit less than the Quick Flex Pouch 55 AW. The newer 55 AW has the all weather cover, a better sliplock attachment (stiff vs. soft, and with more velcro), and most importantly for me, it holds the 430EX II with a StoFen Omnibounce attached to the head, which the Sliplock Pouch 10 does not. For the 580EX II, you'd need the larger 75 AW version.


Hope that helps,


John

Thank you John... Now back to Lowepro. Did anybody notice that they are ditching their previous (very nice) lens case line for a more limited offering?
