Is Lowepro Slingshot really that good?
I think it's brilliant. It really is easy to move it from front to back, (I don't bother with the 'stability strap' thing on the side though) and I can fit a decent amount of stuff in it - DL2, 18-55, 70-300, 135/2.8, 50/1.7, flash, extension tubes and a few filters. I don't often need all of that, ...

Is Lowepro Slingshot really that good?
I have a 200 - always in it : K10D, AF360, Sigma 28-70 & 18-200 one of them mounted, MZ5 body - no lens mounted, Pentax A 50mm, and a box of Cokins for the film body under the 50mm. The top pocket is handy for other odds and ends (batteries, hyte cloth, blower, , and since it zips from left t...

Is Lowepro Slingshot really that good?
I picked up the 300 from Jessops web site a couple of months ago for under £50. At the time it was on offer and it was cheaper than they were selling the 100 and 200 for. I also Googled for a discount code and got another 10% off which cancelled out the postage costs. They have been on offer s...

Is Lowepro Slingshot really that good?
Pahrens, Not sure you'll get two bodies and lenses in the Slingshot 200 :? Mine arrived this morning. Feels very nice and comfortable with great features. A little unsure how I'll arrange it - my main observation is that I really want access to a lens or two from the side (ie in the swing-round ...

Is Lowepro Slingshot really that good?
Bags have always been a problem, which is probably why I have so many of them. But I still keep going back to Billingham, currently using one of the new press-top bags (260) and Hadley. Not a bad compromise between capacity, size and accessibility.

Is Lowepro Slingshot really that good?
I have the 300AW and I absolutely love it. It is comfortable even after longer periods. The only thing is that as with allmost all backpacks, your back gets a little sweaty after some time. A frame like those trekking backpacks have would be a nice improvement on the slingshot to give some ventil...

Is Lowepro Slingshot really that good?
Took my Lowepro 350 out last weekend for a 3hr jaunt across the cotswolds on a very warm Sunday. No sweat. This bag has about 1" clearance between bag and the wearer's back so there is plenty of ventilation. 8) .

Is Lowepro Slingshot really that good?
It may be fine if your shoulders and back and everything is in great condition, but I found my Slingshot 100 got badly uncomfortable after a while. I replaced it with a Fastpack 100 to spread the load more evenly via its two straps instead of one. Shame because the Slingshot offered quicker acces...

Is Lowepro Slingshot really that good?
Definately agree with that, for every feature you gain, you lose one! The most comfortable bag I have can fit nearly eveything in my sig below, and a tripod, and a laptop, and I could carry it all day comfortably, and is also 'waterproof'. No quick access though, but a fantastic bag - Tamrac expe...

I like No. 5 & 6 best, No. 3 having some potential. In all pictures the lighting is not right for me. No.3 would have been helped by a fill flash (with a diffuser as was said). I like the pose here, but would have cropped the bar in the upper left corner and perhaps tried to use the horizontal ...

Rough bunch, indeed. I always like seeing how individuals insult people they can't see, you wouldn't do the same if I was in the same room with you- or at least, it wouldn't last very long. I've probably been the most outspoken on this thread, so I'll hazard a guess that this is aimed at me. I...

Kemal, I can't see any post that insult you. Negative opinions of your work, yes, but insults, no. As I said, I like some of them, others, in my opinion, are too cluttered and busy. I'm sorry if anything I've said has offended you, none was meant, but take a look at the criticism petekd has t...

Chaps, please.. enough of the fighting talk.. :) Do we really want this forum to lower it's level that far?? I'm all for robust debate, but arguing over who'd walk away best if you traded comments face to face adds nothing to the thread, and takes away from the subject at hand. :cry: Bac...

Clearly, you stated what kind of "intention" "most portraits" should have. You really have completely misread what I said. I assume you're referring to this: The thing is, with most portraits, it's clear that the intention is to make the model look as good as possible, an...

Why does black look purple?
A) you're overexposing your blacks, which isn't helping. b) try a polarizer to reduce the reflected light off the surface. c)try a uv filter as a wedding photographer I'm fully aware of the problem...(.Leica had a nightmare with thier digital rangefinder) we want our black tuxes to look black! ...

What cameras do you use? What software? And most back isn't actually black anyway... Pentax K100D, Nikon D50, Canon 350D, maybe something else too, don't remember. Software - used to use Photoshop. Now turning to Lightroom. But the thing is, i want to avoid this problem "in camera", so ...
