 A Solution That Works November 10, 2006
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I have been trying to find a way to easily carry a lot of camera equipment for quite some time. I have tried backpacks, shoulder bags, duffel bags, but none of them really worked all that well. Then I saw the Lowepro Street and Field system with completely customizable pouches, vests, belts, and accessories. It works great, you only get the pouches you need so there is no waisted space and you can organize them however you want according to how often they are used (put frequently used items in easier to access places.)
The variety alone of this system is worth the investment, but the quality and ease of use is also very high which is a big plus. You can get a case for any lens, camera body, or accessory you have. I even have cases for my cell phone and water bottle. One word of caution, be sure to measure your lens with the lens hood on backwards if you use them to make sure that the entire thing will fit into the pouch, because sometimes the lens will fit, but then the lens with the lens hood will not. I often carry 5-6 lenses, extension tubes, teleconverters, extra memory cards and batteries, and a bunch of cleaning supplies and other gadgets, which weights a ton. But when they are evenly distributed on this vest/belt Lowepro system it is actually very manageable.
The only down side is that everyone will be staring at you because you have thousands of dollars of camera equipment strapped to your body. But if you can overlook that, this is the way to go. I have used this system at many zoos without ever having problems, in fact just unzipping a single lens and switching seems safer to me than opening an entire bag of equipment every time you want to switch lenses. Many of the cases also come with a built in rain/snow cover so if the weather changes all of your equipment is not destroyed. You can also put just a few pouches on a normal belt when you are just going to take photos in the back yard or don't need to take all of your equipment, which is nice. I really can't say enough about how much easier this makes traveling with a lot of equipment, if you have been hopelessly searching for a better solution, consider this, you won't regret it.
 Great Lense Protection For Modular Setups April 24, 2007

I love the Lowepro Lens Cases and I own 2 of them already. My first was the Lowepro Lens Case 1 which I use to house my Canon 100mm Macro lens (a bit of a tight fit but it works). The Lowepro Lens Case 1S is a perfect fit for the Canon 18-55mm kit lens that came with my XTI. Since I've opted for a messenger bag to hold my gear instead of a traditional camera bag, the Lowepro cases have been the perfect option to keep my lenses safe in my bag.
good quality, but smallL May 16, 2008

Lowepro lens cases are great qualty and very functional, especially if you have Lowepro belts or bags that these can clip on to. The 1S is a small case that will fit a small lens without a hood. If your lenses are bigger or you like carrying your hood with your lens, then look at Lowepro's bigger lens cases like the size 1 or 1W or the much bigger size 2 cases.
Fantastic protective case January 30, 2008

The guys at Lowepro really know what they're doing. They've put a lot of thought into a simple little case like the 1S. For sure, it's not your average lens case. Here's some of the highlights listed with my comments:
1) OverLap zipper guards - When you unzip the case to open the case, you'll see a large overlapping foam flap next to the zipper. The designer's idea was to keep the line of the zipper away from the interior of the bag, and instead next to this overlap, thereby further protecting the lens inside from dusts, dirt, etc.
2) Reinforced SlipLock - One of the most thoughtful features of LowePro cases, designed for any other LowePro bags with SlipLock ability. This is a wide, reinforced flap with double sided velcro locks, making the attachment to another bag /belt very, very secure. Yet it's very easy to remove when needed. This works well with the LowePro Street and Field belt.
3) Built-in lens cap pocket - Right under the top flap is a mesh to hold your lens cap. With the OverLap zipper, it makes it a tight squeeze to get your lens cap into there, but still it's nice to have this feature.
4) Shock-absorbing open and closed cell foam and padded base
5) Tough, water-resistant outer fabric
Fits: Short, wide lenses including 28-90mm f/4 zoom, 60mm f/2.8 micro and 28.mm f/2.8 (all without hoods).
Inner dimensions: 3D x 3.5H in.
Overall, this is a very a well designed bag. You'll get your money's worth.
