- Stylish black, nylon bag with red PENTAX logo
- Three compartment design. A curved top compartment is ideal for holding a flash and/or lens, and has a separate battery pouch. A main camera compartment easily holds your DSLR camera body with lens, as well as some accessories. A dedicated lens compartment holds one or more lenses or accessories.
- Removable padded dividers in the camera and lens compartments are rigid to help the bag keep its shape and to protect your gear.
- The back of the bag and strap have extra padding for your comfort.
- The DSLR Sling Bag is designed to accommodate small and medium sized lenses, including the Pentax 16-50mm and 50-135mm DA* SDM lenses.
Product Description
The best of both worlds! The Pentax DSLR Sling bag combines the benefits of a camera backpack and a shoulder bag. This comfortable, single strap bag wears on the back like a backpack. However, unlike a backpack, you don’t need to remove the bag to access your gear. Simply swing the bag under your arm, from your back to your chest, for ready access to your camera, flash, lenses, and other accessories. Around town or out in the country, enjoy the hands-free comfort of a backpack, but have your gear always at your fingertips like a shoulder bag.



Cheap alternative to Lowepro’s Slingshot line, but just as efficient. I have mine outfitted in this manner:
Top compartment:
-Sigma Flash EF-500 DG ST
-LumiQuest Pocket Bouncer
-8 AA batteries (inside the mesh compartment)
Mid compartment:
-K100D w/ my favorite lens (Sigma DC 17-70mm w/hood)
-cable release
-blower bulb
-LumiQuest Mini Softbox
-multiple cards in the pockets located on the underside of the flap
-18% gray card on the pocket pouch — haven’t filled that yet
Low compartment:
-Sigma 70-300mm APO DG (w/hood) lens
-Pentax 50mm prime lens
-Keyboard beaded wrist wrest (used as a beanbag)
It’s comfortable as a backpack; and easily slings over for quick access to the center compartment. I keep the fit tight, and find the plastic squeeze release buckle a must for easy removal. The padding is thick enough to protect the items between/within the compartments when worn, but I don’t think it would be safe if the bag was dropped from over a foot high (needs more padding along the bottom and the sides for that).
Overall, I dig. If I need to bring more than 1 lens or a flash, I just take this bag.

Great looking and useful camera bag for my pentax 10d, would recommend highly, great doing business with seller and would not hesitate in doing business again.

This is an adequate bag for a Pentax K20D unless you plan on getting more than 3 lenses then you may opt for a bigger bag to have some extra space.
I gave it a 4 star rating due to half of the nylon zip holders failing and coming undone from the zipper, More of an inconvenience than anything though.

I’ve been using this bag for a half year now. It is the bag I use most often, because it fits the equipment I like to carry (I have 5 others, of various sizes), and has convenient access. Mine fits 2 flashes in top compartment, K20D with wide 16-50 f2.8 lens mounted in center, and 3 medium sized lenses in bottom compartment. Plus lots of filters, cables, and other stuff in the many pockets. Bag is well made.
However, It is very tight for the width of the K20D, and seems as if it was built for a slightly smaller camera body. The shoulder strap ALWAYS slides off my shoulder (slick fabric lining), usually after walking 2 steps or standing still just a few seconds. I have to grab onto the strap with one hand to carry the camera bag. (It better suited for sitting in the back seat of the car than for carrying). If you don’t mind always using one hand to hang onto the bag, the sling feature is nice, to swing the pack to the front of the body and remove the camera from center pocket. For long walks, or times when I want both hands free, I use a backpack or shoulder strap bag

The bag i received is a tiny versions of the one pictured, and missing the bottom compartment. called amazon, told them the picture didn’t match what i got, and am waiting for a replacement. told them to make sure it matched the image, asked that they make the page match the sent item, since others are having the same problem. was told it will happen, that the supplier is being notified, but please check first before ordering – as of 10-28-2008, the items shipped don’t match the image. will try to update this after replacement is shipped.
