Cullmann Panama Action 200

£27/$36 www.cullmann.de

Though it’s the largest of three holster bags in Cullmann’s Panama range, the Action 200 is still on the small side. It has an interior measuring 17cm high, 16cm wide and 10cm deep. However that is still spacious enough for an APS-C DSLR like a Nikon D7500, fitted with an 18-140mm lens. Up front there is also a separate pocket suitable for stashing some memory cards and a couple of screw-in filters.

Cullmann’s construction and material quality are more than adequate for the money, as there’s a good thickness of padding all round, while the zippers and water-repellant outer fabric feel very robust. We also like the soft lining inside the lid that’s designed to prevent your camera screen from getting scratched.

You get a fairly narrow one-inch wide shoulder strap fitted with a basic pad that easily slips off your shoulder and feels quite cheap. But the bag can also be attached to a belt.

Pros

Good quality and practical size for modest money

Cons

Cheap-feeling shoulder strap and pad; not enough room for a full-frame DSLR

We say

A sound choice if you’re on a tight budget
