Q: Is the waist/hip belt removable?

A: No, currently only available in Anthracite Black.

Q: Can I fit a laptop in the Lotus 32L?

A: Yes, you can place the laptop in the multi-purpose sleeve which is located behind the Internal Camera Unit (ICU).

Q: What is the difference between the Lotus 32L and the Kashmir 30L, apart from the additional 2 liter capacity?

A: The Lotus 32L has side pockets that are extendable, that's where the extra space is, but the two models are complexly different. The Kashmir 30L being part of the Ultra Light series and the Lotus 32L being a Mountain Series pack. Packs within both of these two ranges are built for different purposes and usage scenarios. If light weight is of absolute importance, then the Kashmir 30L will be a better option. If a higher level of durability is required, then the Lotus 32L from the Mountain Series will be a better option.

Q: Will the Lotus 32L fit a Canon RF 400mm lens?

A: Yes, if you pair the Lotus 32L with a Pro Large ICU. However, the lens cannot be attached to the camera body. If you want the pack the lens mounted onto the camera body, then you will need to use the Pro XL ICU with a larger capacity bag in the Mountain Series range, such as the Tilopa 50L.

An Excellent Pack for Old School Hasselblad Shooters!

The Lotus is an excellent bag! It carries my Hasselblad 500cw along with 4 lenses, a complement of colored and ND filters, Pentax digital spot meter, film, accessories, an Arca Swiss Cube, Gortex parka, and a 40oz Hydroflask in one of the side pockets. It’s just not civilized to go into the field without tea! With all of this, there is still room for at least two additional lenses! Heavy? A tad! However, the pack handles it all very well. It’s comfortable and it is nicely organized. I almost forgot, there is also room for my M2 MacBook Pro! The only thing that I would change would be to add additional padding to the shoulder straps. Those going light on the gear, the padding is fine! I highly recommend this pack! Love it!!

Lotus 32L A great bag for difficult travel

I love that the bag is big enough to carry so much gear, 3 bodies, 4 lenses, but still fits on the commuter flights that I have to take so often.

Lotus 32L Adventure and Travel Camera Backpack

I have had this backpack for around 6 months now and it has been fantastic. It is super comfortable and I love the flexibility offered by not only the numerous pockets but also by the way parts can be removed to tailor it to different situations. The build is quality all the way through and I look forward to many years using it. My only gripe would be about the website which didn't have dimensions listed (or had them hidden well enough that I couldn't find them).

You can change the lens without having to put the bag on the ground.

The best feature is the ability to change the camera lens without having to put the bag on the ground. The design is also sleek. I really like it. I will use it with care.

GREAT Mid-Capacity Bag

Yes I own an Ajna so transitioning to a Lotus was natural. The mid-capacity of the Lotus really allowed me to carry a super fast prime, a fast mid-zoom, and a super-zoom. Plus allowed for 2 days of clothing, etc. on the Keys. Great durability and function. F-Stop is the system for me.

Love this bag!!

This bag is absolutely perfect for hiking and carrying some gear on top of my camera gear (one body and 3 lenses!). I was so happy to have finally found a bag that keeps the weather out when it is raining out! Highly recommend this bag to everyone, along with anything F-Stop makes! Best camera bags out there!

Another great bag

I have a Tilopa & a Guru these have amazing, functional and hard working bags. When I wanted one with a capacity in between the choice was obvious and the Lotus hasn’t disappointed. Has everything I need for a day out with a little extra equipment than the Guru.

Very high quality product

Haven't used the pack, but first impression is this is a very high quality pack. It's definitely a backpack for carrying camera gear, and not a camera backpack, if that makes sense. This will be outstanding for a serious excursions into the back country. It's not really designed for urban/travel, but you could definitely pull the cube and pack it in your carry on. Great product.
