The 70-300vr and 35mm don't fit inside the large compartment stacked on top of eachother but do next to eachother so I turned the divider vertically and it is perfect. The strap pretty poor and no padding but luckily I have other lowepro bags with better straps I can use. Not tried out and about but looks ideal.<br /><br />On a slightly side note I ordered a black rapid rs7 along with it. That is well worth a look if you want an upgraded strap. Tried a few in the past but this one is brilliant. Expensive but worth it!<br /><br />Thanks!Dave Redfernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16353155187298933438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-71998051871151298902013-10-31T11:37:20.513-07:002013-10-31T11:37:20.513-07:00You're welcome, please share with us how it wo...You're welcome, please share with us how it worked out.mshafikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09178862453786826299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-30821448619833513942013-10-31T11:34:09.524-07:002013-10-31T11:34:09.524-07:00Many thanks for your reply.

I was at a camera shop and found the bag in front of me. I bought it immediately.<br /><br />It is much better built and more comfortable to carry than the Lowepro.mshafikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09178862453786826299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-2011723865496143092013-08-28T12:19:17.823-07:002013-08-28T12:19:17.823-07:00Very helpful review as I'm currently looking f...Very helpful review as I'm currently looking for a case for my Canon 6D. <br /><br />It seems the only real advantage of the Lowepro is the additional storage space, but if you just want to carry just the camera + lens, and you want something that is a little smaller/easier to carry, the Vanguard is the better choice. <br /><br />But to take it one step further, did you consider the Thinktank Digital Holster 20 V2.0? It appears to be even smaller/sleeker than the Vanguard Up-Rise 15Z and supposedly also has excellent build quality.Anthonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-86963720859446098202013-07-24T16:25:08.634-07:002013-07-24T16:25:08.634-07:00I have never tried it myself (never bought a grip)...I have never tried it myself (never bought a grip), but I am quite sure it won't fit, the camera fit snugly inside the bag face-down with a lens attached, and from the pictures I see, I doubt it would fit.

Not sure about the other side.<br /><br />I'd say the Lowepro 55 can carry much more than the Vanguard, but it is not as well built, nor as comfortable to wear (using the strap that ships with it) like the Vanguard. You can't go wrong with both.mshafikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09178862453786826299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-78266200603137849512012-11-27T14:38:33.238-08:002012-11-27T14:38:33.238-08:00One thing on the Lowepro Toploader zoom 55 AW is t...One thing on the Lowepro Toploader zoom 55 AW is that you can get a chest harness as an accessory and secure it to your body if you happen to be backpacking and also wearing a backpack.
