    I currently have a lowepro bag, though much smaller than this one… with my new lenses I now need to get a new one! and if I can also get my laptop in! a big bonus for me! much easier to share picture!
    If I won, this bag would be going on all mynew adventures… as my previous two lowepro did before!

  • iosif says:

    Great! I will use it for my notebook… Share it on my photo group FB

  • Jon Okerstrom says:

    I’d use it to get my gear out more often… especially for walkabouts and day shoots when a heavy backpack is too much.

  • Lucy says:

    I have a Sony camera which I take with me everywhere in a stretchy sock!!

    Yes, I store the aforementioned sock and camera in my hand bag but ideally I think everyone would agree that a Passport Messenger would not only protect my camera but it could also contain all my essentials and look stylish at the same time, thus rendering my handbag obsolete.

    I think this would be an ideal solution for me as it would make my Dad very happy to see that I am finally taking good care of my camera that he gave me for Christmas and it would also stop my friend’s mocking me for using a sock for anything else but footwear.

  • Giuseppe says:

    Just perfect for my walks, I have a lot of lowepro bags but I need something smaller

  • Brent Stewart says:

    I’d love it for cycling, and day hikes, too. Perfect for capturing cool moments while out and about!

  • Mark Allen says:

    I currently have a Passport Sling and would like this and use it if I won on my first trip to Florida to hold my camera and spare lens and my tablet so I can document my journey of a life-time as I go….

    Many Thanks

  • clau says:

    this is just perfect for my camera+phone or other small accessories, thanks

  • TImo says:

    I would use your Bag for my Nikon D90 with one of my Pancake lenses and other small lenses I own. I think it would be the perfect addition to my other, bigger Lowepro bags!

  • George Murray says:

    I have a tendency to take every bit of equipment with me in my camera backpack-please save me from this obsession! The lowepro messenger would definitely lighten my load.

  • Phil Collins says:

    I’d love the Passport -it would fit my Olympus PEN EPL-3 and Canon Powershot S110 plus iPad when I go to do some street photography and want something neat and discreet.
    Doesn’t look like a camera bag, so doesn’t shout, ” HEY! Expensive stuff in here, come and steal me!” when I’m on the train, bus or street.

  • Mario Derstappen says:

    They say: “Don’t shoot the messenger!” With this bag I’d probably say “I don’t shoot without my (Passport) Messenger!”

    Best way to complement my Flipside 400 AW for daily use.

    Walkabout shoots

  • LM Smith says:

    I love hiking and walking and always have my camera with me…. I’d use this bag everywhere I went!

  • Xinhui says:

    Hi I’m from Singapore! I currently own a lowepro photo hatchback and it’s also my 1st camera bag! So glad that I chose to invest in Lowepro. Built quality and material is just superb.
    I recently added a canon macro 100mm L lens to my kit lenses collection. The photo hatchback is a little too cramp now for my lenses.
    Thus, if I won the bag I would use it for my field trips, macro trips n also for short getaways to Malaysia or Phuket ^^
