Designed for today’s digital SLR cameras, the Cirrus TLZ 15 (Black) by Lowepro easily protects both SLR and lens from the outside elements. The interior features a memory card pocket for quick changes and a brushed tricot lining protecting LCD screens and lenses from abrasion. The exterior of the bag is built with a tough water and abrasion resistant fabric and can be attached through either a belt-loop or with an included shoulder strap.

This bag gives a perfectly snug fit for my Nikon D90 and attached 18-55mm VR lens. There’s just enough room left at the top, above the camera, to accommodate the camera’s shoulder strap if I fold it carefully.

That said, the 18-55mm VR lens is among the shortest of Nikon’s standard zooms. It’s only 3.1 inches long–noticeably shorter than the 16-85mm VR (which is 3.4 inches long), and the 18-105mm VR (which is 3.5 inches long). This bag WILL accommodate those lenses as well, but won’t leave much free space at the top for the camera strap.

So, I’d give this thing five stars for the fit and construction. Why deduct a star? As others have noted, it doesn’t have enough (or spacious enough) pockets; and even worse, the outer pocket has no seal or flap over it, which means that it’s exposed to the elements. Since all my photography takes place indoors in museums, this isn’t a problem for me. But I image that outdoors enthusiasts caught in a storm would be irked to find rain falling directly into the outer pocket….

I had so much stuff in my huge LowePro Nova 5AW shoulder bag that it hurt my my shoulder and back to carry it around. Saw the Canon 200EG Backpack and based on reviews ordered one. I am impressed. It was about 1/2 the price of my LowePro bag. Its very well designed with lots of compartments, padding, external straps and quality materials. It holds everything that was in my other bag and I still have more room. I’ve got a Canon 20D with BGE2 battery grip, 3 zoom lenses (one a telephoto), a Canon 580EX flash, a Slik mini tripod, lens hoods for all the lenses, and a large assortment of filters for all the lenses all inside the main compartment. External compartments hold everything else like spare battery packs, chargers, cables, etc. Its got straps on the bottom to carry my tripod which my old bag didn’t have. Its got other straps for carrying all kinds of stuff. And I carry bag this much comfortably. The one thing that the LowePro bag had was an all weather cover that could be zipped out to cover the bag in bad weather. Never used it anyhow so whats the point? (Wolfinger, USA)
