Lowepro Magnum AW shoulder camera bag for professional photography review
A review of the Lowepro Magnum AW shoulder camera bag for professional photography.
I'm a professional portrait and wedding photographer. If you are new to this site you might like to read why I review photography equipment which I use for my business before reading on. My aim is to provide the information I would be looking for when trying to decide if something would help or hinder my photography business. You won't find specification details ad nauseam, or comparisons between the incomparable, but you will find out how this professional photographer rates the equipment for professional use.
I use the Lowepro Magnum camera bag for wedding photography mainly as a way to carry spare gear or for use by an assistant. It is essentially a smaller version of the Lowepro Commercial camera bag.
The nature of Wedding photography requires a lot of spare gear, the Lowepro Commercial is just large enough to manage this which inevitably means the Magnum isn't large enough to hold a professional outfit on its own. It does make an excellent camera bag for a wedding photography assistant who perhaps has a smaller outfit and doesn't bear the responsibility of having to carry spares.
Lowepro Magnum AW summary
A great all weather shoulder camera bag for the smaller camera outfit and built to last but not really suitable as a main camera bag for the wedding photographer.
