My Use of the Lowepro Trail 2 Camera Bag
I purchased this bag because I need a way to access different lenses during wedding shoots. I don’t keep my Canon 50D in the bag simply because it’s not roomy enough for a camera with a battery grip on it. So I basically keep the following in this bag: Canon 70-200mm zoom lens, Canon 50mm, Tamaron 11-14 wide angle, Canon 28-105, and a 580Ex flash. I swap out lenses as needed. I also think it’s good not keep your flash on your camera at all times because it can influence camera shake. With this bag, I can easily access my when needed.
I use the shoulder strap rather than belt strap because the latter just makes the bag too uncomfortable for me to wear. The 70-200mm lens weighs this bag down, so the belt strap doesn’t feel ideal for me. It makes the bag stick out too much. Whereas with the shoulder strap, you can remove easily remove the bag to lighten your load. I also found that can more easily pull out lenses from the pockets of the bag when place the widest side of the lens facing down.
All and all, I would see get this bag if you find yourself changing lenses a lot during a shoot. It’s pretty affordable. In fact, you might be able to find it somewhere cheaper than Amazon. I got it for like $52 at AvidMaxOutfitters.com
