Overview

The Lowepro Midtown 160 is a messenger-style camera bag built for photographers who want to carry a DSLR kit through daily life without the bulk of a traditional camera backpack. Its exterior features a front slip pocket and two side pockets for stashing small essentials like memory cards, lens caps, or a phone, while the padded interior uses two adjustable dividers to let you customize the layout around your specific body-and-lens combination. The result is snug, secure protection that keeps your gear from shifting during transit.

Carrying options include an adjustable shoulder strap for hands-free messenger-style use and a quick-grab handle on top when you need to pick it up in a hurry. The bag's urban styling makes it equally at home on a city commute or a casual day trip. While it won't accommodate a large multi-lens kit, the Midtown 160 excels as a streamlined option for photographers who prefer to travel light with just the essentials.
