To the owners of Lowepro

[uniart]

Recently I bought M7+65 and Digilux 2.
I am lookinhg for the bag to carry them together. I near to chose the Lowepro Nowa 5. It is important to me to attach the monopod to the bag. Is it possible in the case of Nowa5? If not, what is the bag like Nowa5, where it is possible?
I think that I would be interesting to have an additional, more compact bag to carry M7+65 or Digilux 2 apart. Is it Nowa2?
Every suggestions welcome.

One of my bags is a Nova 5. That's an old model. Lowpro makes better ones now.

The Nova 5 AW is a very good bag, I used one when I carried two SLR bodies and a bunch of lenses when I did motorsport shots. Great to use without getting muck on your back that you can get with a rucksack in wet or nasty weather as you don't have to put it down. I used to thread one of the legs of my tripod through the shoulder strap.

Now using RFs more I use a smaller Billingham I got from an old freind. Before that a Nova1 did the job, the Nova 2 would have been the better bet as I ran out of room as the kit increased a little.

The Novas are pretty well made, go for the AW version though that has an all weather cover built in.

Yeah, the new ones have the built-in covers---very useful, especially if you live in "Raincouver."
