Lowepro slingshot question

[Snurk71]

I picked up a Lowepro slingshot 200 today and have a question. It looks like the bag is designed ergonomically to favor carrying over one shoulder vs. the other. My question is do they make a left and right hand model, or just the one that appears like it should go over the left shoulder (at least that's how I'm reading the one I bought)?

Thanks

Mine rests on my right shoulder, but I didn't know there was a choice.

Mine rests on the right shoulder when carried as disigned, it carries easier on the left side if I just want it sitting on a shoulder.

As far as I know there is only one design

User error.

DW got me straightened out. I was missing the whole "across the chest" concept. Backpacks didn't carry like that when I was in school - they had two straps and you tightened one full and then slung the other over one shoulder. I was trying to make it work that way. Seems like the slingshot intended way will be more comfortable and easier.

I have that same bag and I love it! It's made to carry on your right shoulder and it pulls around to your front so you can get your camera out. The only problem I have had with it is that 99% of the time the camera is around my neck and the lenses are what I want access to. This bag doesn't make that easy.

I do carry mine on the left shoulder occasionally and it works fine there too. Not as comfortable though.

heh - I have that one, too. It took me quite a few minutes to work right, but now it's brilliant. I really love the built-in rain cover! (not that you'll need that in Disneyland )

Access to lenses is easy enough I think. Just open the bag as accessing the camera and "open" the lens compartments (am I clear?) - they are just fastened by velcro.
