Hi John,If you're into photo hikes, then again, I *highly* recommend you try out the Kinesis. They have a 30-day money back anyways. Personally I hate having to take off my Lowepro, set it down, open it up, balance it while I'm changing lenses, etc.
For that matter, my Kinesis allows me to store my body with the 70-200 and its lens hood in the firing position inside the belt-case... I can pull it out and have it at eye-level within 3 seconds, and all I'd have to do is hit the shutter.
For some reason the weight doesn't bother me... the belt is heavily padded and is very thick. I hiked throughout several national parks this summer, including a 5-6 hour stint in the Zion Narrows (Virgin River), and I never complained of it.
Why am I pushing for the Kinesis so hard?? Well... I actually met a lot of people last summer during my photo trip who saw me changes lenses all the time while standing up, just reaching around my belt pockets, and they all said, "Hey where do I get that??". I'm so proud to look like a dork with all these black pouches hanging off my hips, but have so much fun shooting nowadays, that I'd wanna share with others. :)
Happy shooting,
Keith
