Tamrac 517 Tele-Zoom Pack (Black)

I purchased this pack for an upcoming trip out of the country, but I've already used it a few times locally. I have a Canon Rebel XSI, and I purchased this specific pack because it will accomodate both the standard and zoom lense at the same time. There's no need to carry two separate packs or a larger bulky camera pack. I've used the cross shoulder strap on this pack, but there's also the option to run a belt through the loops. There is plenty of room for an extra battery and additional memory cards. The pack seems to be built and padded well to protect the camera,lenses, etc. Looking forward to having this comfortable camera pack to take on my trip. I'm already impressed with the limited use I've had, but will be able to comment further when I return from my vacation.

This USA made bag is well made. I was hoping to be able to carry my Pentax 18-55mm lens in the bottom of the case and add my Pentax K-r camera with the 55-300 mm attached to the camera, using the padded divider, but the case is not deep enough. I was pleased to know the bag was constructed of waterproof PowerGrid Condura nylon and has moisture-resistant foam throughout. Since I do wildlife photos, these were important features. Zippers and hardware are nice and strong and zippers have a self-sealing nylon coil. The protective flap over the main zipper is a nice feature. Extra storage pocket is nice size. I would have rated it five star if the bag had come with a thicker shoulder pad on the narrow 1 1/2 inch carry strap. It has a thin peace of foam on the underside of the strap where is crosses the shoulder, but more cushion would be preferable. I'll have to buy a shoulder pad as an accessory to make it more comfortable or me to carry. I'm sure I will enjoy this bag for years to come.

Great size for my needs. Downside is the the straps are very week if you are going to use on belt. Completely pulled out from its glued in slot. I used to have a smaller one that last nearly 20 years of wedding shooting.

Great portable pack for holding camera & two lenses. This new unit replaced a 25 yr. old model of equivalent design that served me well until a bout in the washer separated the zipper from the cordura nylon. I have two additional 25 yr. old Tamrac bags that did survive the washer very well. American made, strong construction, & beautifully functional. What more could one ask for.

VPouch had a very bad cigarette smoke odor.

I use it while backpacking and strap it to the shoulder straps of my backpack. It sits well and doesn't bounce. Just the right size with adequate compartments.

I purchased this after having had to return another similar holster style case which was too small to hold my camera and lens. This Tamrack case holds my Canon 60D with either a Sigma 18–35 lens (without hood) or Sigma 18–250 lens (with hood) attached. The small pouch storage compartment on the front of the bag can hold my battery charger and a filter case. It's not large enough to fully hold my speedlite.

Holds my camera with 300mm zoom and Lens hood safely and securely. A small investment to keep your camera safe and accessible in the back country.
