Sling bag: Lowepro vs. Kata

[btaylor]

I've also had thethe Lowepro slingshot 200 for a year or so and had no issues with it at all. Took it all through Cambodia/ Vietnam plus some longtrips through outback Australia without any issues. Been through every weather extreme from pouring rain to dust storms so I can honestly vouch for it.

I have the 100 and 200, and have not used Kata. I hate the sling packs. The 200 barely holds my 1Dmk2, 70-200 2.8 and 17-40. Wear and tear wise, the 200 is showing signs of loose stiching, the cover isn' all that great either. The slings place more pressure on one shoulder and this bears down over time.


I personally swear by Think Tanks Skin system. The most comfortable system I have ever used. The only time I ever use a backpack is when transporting lenses on an airplane or a train.
