Video Preview: Lowepro Event Messenger 250

by Felix Esser on 05/14/2012

The Lowepro Event Messenger 250 is the biggest bag of Lowepro’s Event Messenger series. Like its smaller sibling, the Event Messenger 150, it’s built to be robust, versatile and comfortable to carry. In this video, I give you a quick first look at the bag and will show you what it looks like, how much space it has, and assess whether it will hold my travel kit for my upcoming NYC trip.

You will get my full review of the bag once I’m back from my trip. In the meanwhile, here are the Event Messenger 250′s specifications (copy-and-pasted from B&H’s product description).

    Nice review. I went for the 150 though. I found the 250 to be a touch bulky for what I needed.

    All due respect, but this is a useless review… Test it with regular gear, such as a EOS60D or a D7000, not with a Leica…

      This is just a ‘preview’ thanks for reading.

        Yup, I noticed… still useless, though, I had more information on the Lowepro website, since the gear used doesn’t add any information with regards to the capacity of the bag with regular gear.

        Doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy the website, just that this kind of post is a waste of time and ressources.

        Just my 2 cents…
