Great Concept, 80% Well Done.
The idea to have an easy to reach lens changing bag is awesome. The second slot is a great concept to help user place their lens there to safely change lenses.The Material seems very nice, except the end of the zipper never closes. So, if it rain, don't use it without any cover.Like said, it is 80% done. Below is the little thing to get it fix to make it good.1. The zipper, like said, make it all the way seal, so it is Weather Sealed. (Why not make it so for the purpose of it?)2. The bag is really designed for smaller and lighter lenses. Yes, I was able to put my Fuji XF100400 inside, but I won't be able to put second lens on the out pocket while the long lens still inside due to its size. Not to mention the 2nd pocket isn't really able to hold a longer and heavier lens. This definitely can be fix by some tweak on design.3. Consider make different sizes? Like said, this can be hard for heavier lens. Why not make 2 different sizes, so user can use the correct size to ensure ease of usage?Other than that, this is great. Fix those, it will be one must have product.

Works great.
I use it when I do weddings, sporting events or any extended time photoshoots or pretty much anything over an hour and a half. I have a spyder belt that it’s attached to and both are used multiple time a week. I use it to switch between my Sigma 70-200 and my sigma 24-70. The extra compartment is nice and holds well. Both of those lens are on the heavier side too.

It’s OK for smaller and light weight lenses
It’s OK for smaller and light weight lenses, but if you have some larger and heavier lens, then I would not trust it in the exchange pouch area. The main area is fine for the large lens, however in the exchange area which extends out, the sides are way too flimsy and a large and heavy lens may fall out.

Not quite a fit for Nikon Z 70-200
Quality-wise: as expected for a LowePro product. However, trying to squeeze a 70-200 Nikon Z lens into this doesn’t really work so well. Same goes for the standard Nikon F-series 70-200.

High quality product!
Excellent, very high quality and comfortable bags. I bought myself new ones, since the previous ones have already pretty worn out over 8 years of use.Recommend!

Great for swapping lenses in the field, with one possible exception
This is a great option for swapping lenses in the field in a low risk manner. The case opens up, but in a limited fashion, so you have a place to put the first lens while you install the second lens already stored in the case. Having the case act as a second pair of hands also gives you an opportunity to quickly install lens and\or body caps, which helps keep your gear cleaner. The only thing that I don't like (but not enough to drop a star) is that even with the case zipped fully closed, there is still a small space where dust could potentially enter the case in dusty conditions.So if that is a concern, you might want to either use the all-weather cover as a shield, or look into the Lowepro S&F Slim Lens Pouch (if you can still find one, the top cover shields fully if your lens isnt too big), or the Lowepro 11x26cm Lens Case (Similarly sized, zips fully closed). Neither one has the lens swap capability, but both provide good to excellent dust coverage. Outside of that, its an excellent case and I recommend it!

Excellent product
I wanted a lens exchange bag that would enable me to easily change from my Canon 24-105mm f4 L series lens to my Canon 100-400mm f4-5.6 L series and back. The product advertises that it will only fit up to a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens but, working on the internal dimensions, I thought it might be possible to fit the EF 100-400mm.I was pleased to find that yes, you can fit the bigger lens in the bag and close it comfortably. Not only that it will hold (just) the lens plus the tripod ring, UV filter, lens cap and lens hood (reversed). Even packed to that capacity, it will still close reasonably easily, but the press-stud becomes a bit fiddly and the bag feels strained. It is much better if the lens-hood is removed completely. Then the lens slides into the bag very easily. This, I think, is a small sacrifice to make given the bag is not designed for a lens this size.I have tried using it to swap-out the EF 100-400mm with the smaller EF 24-105mm lens. In theory The EF24-105mm is too big to fit into the second pocket, but even with the lens cap fitted it felt perfectly safe there while I extracted the larger lens and fitted it to the camera body. As mentioned by another reviewer, the bag will not close with a lens in the second pocket. However, the product description points out that the second pocket is only supposed to be a temporary location. The simple answer is to move the swapped out lens to the main storage pocket!When switching back, the EF100-400mm lens won’t fit the secondary pocket. Frankly, I wouldn’t expect it to. Again, the answer is simple. Move the stored EF24-105mm from the storage pocket to the secondary. The EF100-400 (minus lens hood) then slides easily into the primary pocket allowing me to refit the other lens to the camera and easily close the bag. Job done!I am pleased with this purchase can see the bag being used often.

Not as big as advertised.
Well built and designed, but I bought the 200 AW which says internal size 23.5cm, which is, strictly speaking, accurate. However, inside there is an orange line and wording saying “Do not exceed this height” and that line is 19cm above the floor of the bag, so my lens, which is 23cm long, does not fit - the bag will not close with it in, so it went straight back. If it was advertised as being for lenses 19cm long, it would be great.

Makes life so much easier
Used recently to photograph a bike tour, it made it so easy to swap prime lenses without the risk of dropping them. Wish I had bought this a long time ago.Easily fits my Batis 135, or both Batis 80 and 40 together.No more putting my camera back pack on a wet floor to change a lense.

One of the best things you can buy for your camera.
It makes your life so much easier, I cannot believe how I was living without it.This awesome thing can even fit a Sigma 14mm f1.8 (95mm)!

Does what it says
I was not sure about this after reading some of the earlier reviews suggesting that it would not take a 23cm lens.But I am using this with a 80 - 200 mm lens (~ 23cm) and a 300 mm lens with a x2 teleconverter.
