The family has been on a garden party last Sunday with many ex-colleagues of mine. Since I left my previous employer after 12 years about a month ago, it was a kind of unofficial farewell party for me and and an other guy.

Farewell party means farewell gift. How do people find out other’s desire these day? Reading his blog of course.

Two posts ago I wrote about my new lens and my old Lowepro Slingshot 100 AWthat became too small for the new piece of equipment. Apparently my old colleagues read my blog – well, maybe not that regularly – and surprised me with a Lowepro Slingshot 300 AW.

Sorry for the image quality, but my actual camera was sitting there as a model.

The brochure of the bag mentions specifically my new lens. So, it is really designed for me. My gear fits perfectly in the bag and I still have some free compartments for an extra lens or two. Carrying the bag in my hands reflects the professionalism of my lens , however on my back – as I tried it at home being hit by my wife’s laughing – it did not feel heavy at all.

Thank you very much, guys.
