Hi Ralf, I used both Slignshot 100 and 200 versions.
Gave the 100 tp y father and got the 200 instead, at the time, because the ist-D or K10D wouldn't go inside with the grip attached. Of course, more lenses can fit inside the 200 as well. In general, I love it, just love the fact I can swing it in front of me when I need to change lens, I don't even need my wife to be next to me 'My love can you just keep this carefuly please ... blabla'. No more ! I lens like 60-250 might not fit inside attached to the body however. By the way, a thread on DPR from Rusell **** (don't remind the rest of the name) shows you can move the spacers inside the 200 90° (and ONLY the 200) so you can access ALL the lenses without opening the bag further. I don't like that configuration at all, personal, but the option is definitely nice to have. Before that I had (well I still have it) a MicroTrekker 200 and I didn't even use it since I got the Slingshot, too annoying to use compared to the Slingshot. The Trekker however will be better if the weight is important. The Slingshot can be a bit more difficult to wear for a long time if the weight is heavy. Mine was really limit when fit with: * K10D + grip * Sigma EX DG 28/1.8 * FA 50/1.4 * 360FGZ * DA 16-45 * DA 50-200 * DA 40 I had to remove a couple items to be comfortable with it all day, walking under 25-30°C in Lisbon this past week. Hope it helps. Of course, if you happen to come to Brussels, you may want to try mine (fit with my stuff). 2009/7/15 Ralf R.
