The black red Event Messenger 100 from Lowepro is a grab-and-go bag with some interesting features that make it a viable alternative to a standard shoulder bag. The bag is sized to hold your compact DSLR with an attached 18-55mm lens 1-2 extra lenses or a flash with one lens accessories and personal items. Or it can accommodate your CSC (compact system camera) with attached lens 2-3 extra lenses or a flash and two lenses accessories and personal items. The interior is customizable using adjustable touch fastened dividers. The wow feature of the Event 100 is its Dual-Mode Flap system. There are two ways to open the bag. First there is a front snap coupled buckle to secure the entire bag. Second there are touch fasteners that can be used to close the bag without using the snap coupler. However the Event 100 comes with a unique way to fold back those touch fasteners so that when you open the bag it will not make the traditional ripping sound that touch fasteners are known for. This will help you when you are shooting in a venue where excessive sound will be disturbing to your subject such as a chess match or courtroom.
