BELTSVILLE, Md. - July 29, 2004 - Ritz Camera Centers introduced their new Quantaray Ballistic Two-Toned SLR bag this summer. The bag can hold a complete SLR system of camera, lens, flash, and filters and comes in either black and grey or black and tan.

The SLR bags are constructed with a Ballistic Nylon material that is a heavy-duty and water resistant fabric. Rugged and maintenance-free, the Nylon was named ballistic because it is a component used to make bulletproof vests. Features of the new Quantaray SLR bag include a padded quick-release strap attachment for a wider shoulder strap and tripod straps for easy tripod transport. Also, the front of the bag unzips to reveal a multi-section accessory area with an interior mesh pocket making the storage space even greater.

Quantaray Buyer Mike Rosenbaum said, "This SLR bag is great for enthusiasts and beginners alike, and it comes with Ritz's Quantaray Lifetime Warranty. Our Ballistic Two-Toned SLR bag is not only well designed but it's affordable at $39.95."
