Review on Lowepro Photo Hatchback BP 150 AW 📷 II Camera Backpack: The Ultimate Travel Companion for Photographers by Linda Coltharp

I wanted an everyday bag that would fit a water bottle, my camera and other things to store snacks, jackets etc. This bag (150 AW II) fits the Canon 70D attached to the side with a 17-55mm lens. It also allows me to attach my 18-135mm and 50mm lenses, each of which is stored in the camera storage compartment. The handle on the camera body is pressed slightly against the back of the bag, but nothing is noticeable when carrying. It's a tight fit but I wanted a small pocket so it's worth the compromise. Also, I took my Camelbak 1L reservoir and put it in my front pocket and it fits perfectly (my 2L reservoir is too big to fit). I have a Manfrotto Compact Advanced tripod that barely fits in one of the side bags, but I add a strap to my bag so I can carry it there without tipping over (it's too big). I carry my Black Rapid shoulder strap in the other side pocket. The bag looks very high quality, has lots of space, pockets and adjustable shoulder straps (and a small hidden pocket for a memory card on the flap to stow the camera). It's also very convenient. There is also a rain cover conveniently tucked away in its own pocket at the very bottom of the bag. I was really worried that it wouldn't fit a DSLR with a lens attached, but it did. I also keep the lens hood in the same camera compartment. In the top section I can fit a bag with 6 filters, extra memory cards, lens cleaner, charger and extra battery, pen, notepad, keys, phone and still have room for a packed lunch or crumpled jacket. Recommend this bag if you don't want anything bulky or something flashy like a camera bag. All the convenience of a lightweight backpack for a day trip, but with the protection and storage of a camera bag.
