Lowepro Fastpack 350 - brilliant! - Bargain!!

Purchased yesterday, received today, Lowepro Fastpack 350. (Black)

Spent last month or so trawling the internet (I know...I'm sad) to try and get cheapest price possible. I certainly wasn’t going to pay the list price of £82 or more.

Found it for £61.31 on Amazon, price included delivery, but held out because I knew I might be able to get it cheaper, and I did!

Well, if you are looking for a backpack with slingshot capability that will hold all your gear and your laptop and your munchies for when you spend the day hiking then this is the one for you. I can thoroughly recommend it.

I paid £45.95 plus £4.75 P&P, under £50 !!!!! …. This was my target figure.

BUT, SHOCK HORROR. It’s now only £38.95 from the same source, only 24hrs later!....

Well, that’s life….. and here’s the link if anyone of you is interested

Happy shopping…...

Cheers.

Does anyone know if I will be able to fit my K10D with Sigma 100-300mm attached in this?

I'm after a bigger bag, but as I haven't actually received the Sigma yet I've put off buying one until it arrives but this does look like a good price.

edit to say thank you to Coriander for bringing it to my attention!

Looks like a useful bag but there is no mention of any capacity to hang any sliplock accessories on it - which is a bit of a downer imho as it restricts lens choise to whatever will fit inside - and I don't think this would include my Sigma 135-400 or 150-500 (one of which is usually hung on my walkabout pack). Still, at £39 a pop, worth serious consideration.

Hi,
I can fit my K100D with Tamron 70-300mm fully extended and with lens hood attached in the central compartment. Total length of lens is 8 inches, camera adds 3 inches. 1 inch to spare.

That leaves four compartments, two either side, can fit four more lenses or flash combinations.

Top compartment can easily accommodate extra equipment including rainmac and sandwiches, mobile and wallet, batteries and folding chair. (okay chair is ambitious )

One sliplock attachment on front, but no tripod attachements...... but if you are hiking all day are you going to be taking a tripod?

All I need now is a sign to carry around when I'm wearing the backpack telling everyone just how much I have managed to stuff inside it!..

Thanks for the info - I've placed my order

If you turned your lens in you would be able to get another in the bottom!......a good price! I prefer the Tamrac expedition series!.......wonderful bags with everything you need!.........and so comfortable to carry........Ken

Thanks for the heads-up just what I was after and at a bargin price too... .

I too have placed an order...

Yes, just, it is a little bit of a squeeze but it does fit!

After having a slingshot 300, I sold it and bought the fastpack instead as the weight you can put in them was too much for one shoulder for me. Would definately recommend the 350, even though it is a little smaller inside than the slingshot, and there is no weather cover either. And at the price mentioned it most definately is one hell of a bargain, well found!

As beginner mentioned the Tamrac expedition series are quite excellent as well. We have the 8X to carry all our stuff in one go when needed, and it is by far the most comfortable backpack /rucksack when it has a lot of weight in it and this most definately would be the one to choose when walking long distances.

Also have a Kata 3in1 30, which can swing both ways! This is also a great piece of kit, has the fastest sling action (getting the camera out of the bag) of them all, and is also well worth a look, maybe not as appealing as 2-3 times the price of the bargain mentioned, but definately has advantages over the fastpack.

That price is still amazing me though, and if anyone is even remotely thinking about it, my advice would be to dive in there as soon as you can before they are all gone!

PS. Think I have BBA!

£35.50 now, and I just placed my order for the last one in stock.
It'll replace my Slingshot 200, so if anybody wants it . . .

Woodworm, just for you!

Looks like a good bargain.

Does anyone know if the K20D will fit in the bag with the BG-2 handgrip attached ?

Thanks

Jason

I bought a Flipside 300. It was one of the few bags that would accommodate the K20D and mounted Bigma.

Unlocker's photo shows a K10D Grand Prix + grip, so a K20D + grip will fit too. They are the same size.
