Lowepro Apex 30 AW Black

Comments about Lowepro Apex 30 AW Black:

I have had many Lowepro cases over the years. I have used this for a Leica D-Lux 4, but it is a very tight fit. No good to me now I have added the grip and viewfinder to the camera, so have acquired the Apex 100 AW.
A tip about the waterproofing:-
Buy a can of "Grangers Superpruf" from an outdoor activity store, close the EMPTY Apex case, and spray liberally. Once it is dry, release the all weather cover, and spray that inside and out. Now you have a fully waterproof case - you might get some water ingress through the zip in a storm, but simply cover the zip with the All Weather cover :-)

This case is a little tight for a Canon Powershot D10 however the internal storage layout is good and the way the pouch attached to a belt works well. My main complaint is that it is not " all weather". It has been used in bad weather in the Lake District and it is just not weather proof. The little nylon cover does not cover the pouch fully so it protects the front but not the back. Once wet it is slow to dry since the padding absorbs the water. The pouch should be OK for the very occasional light showers, if you are expecting more severe weather and you want something that works don't chose this.

Bought for my partners new DMC-LX3, this little pouch is perfect. It has a good level of protection and will allow a spare battery and memory card to be carried, although it's quite snug because of the size of the lens of the LX3. Inside, the lining is soft and will protect the camera screen well. Overall, a nice bit of kit that does its job.
