Review 1 of 4

Price Paid: $75.00 from Foto thailand (shop)

Summary:

Along long times ago... (Sorry I not good in english.) I find a camera bag that fit into my backpack, I used Nova 3 before but I don't like it. This reporter I found from my friend (100AW) I very thank her for informed it. This camera bag is my farvorite one. for another review let see strengths and Weaknesses. It's not perfect camera bag but really great.

Strengths:

- Quick Acess zip (At top) it make me easy to change my lense or accesories. - All Weather cover!! it's not realy all weather some dust and humidity is not protected from AW but with a size and price I think it great bag. (DryZone is my next, it's very expensive but it'll gone with me every places.) - All Weather hood!! I make it all in sunny or drizzle day. - Clip is easy to access than Domke. - Easy to keep my camera with lens attach to this bag and go ahead. - Slip-lock is great. I have LensCase4 and UtilityCase when I need more space. (And when my F2 can't handle a job.) - I can split all part and wash it. (Like Domke, Unlike Nova.)

Weaknesses:

- Weak shape, but I can live with it. - All Weather cover NOT COVER REALLY ALL WEATHER!! - Soft-strapt is optional.

Review 2 of 4

Price Paid: $0.00 from Local camera store

Summary:

Excellent quality, this bag is really well made, from the material used, to the metal clasps. The bad weather covers are great, the shoulder strap sits very comfortably and i love the anti-slip materal they use (feels secure on your shoulder).

Strengths:

Have to be the build quality, the internal dividers are good and the inner skin is very good padding. The strap is great as are the metal clasps and rings on the bag.

Weaknesses:

This is a big one for me, the top cover of the bag DOES NOT COVER THE BAG! The bag is not protected from debis, sand or dust getting in because the top cover always leaves an overlap from the corners of the bag underneath! For me this bag is a little small to use to its full potential, the top loading zip is too tight to fit my hand while holding a body with booster pack and lens. I would recommend the next size up from this one and check the cover! This bag would be a 5 star bag for me if only the cover did it''s job.

Review 3 of 4

Price Paid: $90.00 from Kamera-Express

Summary:

Top notch bag to pack a lot of stuff (fits a T90
+ lenses, films and some accesoires easily), yet very portable. Durable quality, useable in bad weather too, good comfort with great strap. Top product and well worth the cash!

Strengths:

Compact and v. easy to take with you but enough room to store all you want. Stores a T90, 135mm 2.0, 28mm and 50mm, films, filters, etc. without trouble. The 'raincoat' is also very handy. Lets you decide how to divide the space inside.

Weaknesses:

none really; unless you want to pack REALLY big lenses

I can fit two SLR's and two lenses plus accessories easily.

Weaknesses:

Perhaps the top flap could come down a little more on the sides.
