from http://www.acephotod Summary: after a lengthy battle with acephotodigital.com, i finally received my model 752. i wanted a nice, simple backpack that was capable of holding 2 SLRs with modest lenses attached. after about 20 minutes of trying to get a snug fit with the ill conceived 'lens gate' velcro padding pieces, i gutted the back and pieced together my own system using bits and pieces of vecro padding from a few of my other backpacks. the stock padding, compared to my lowepro, is cheap and thin. the configuration of the padding is also pretty stupid. you end up having to create shelves with the padding that effectively kills about 15% of the space in your bag. the illustrations on the tamrac site show lenses under the camera, but really, who's gonna put a lense in a place where everytime you gotta get to it you have to take out the velcro pieces. they're hard enough to get in place to begin with. finally, the bag just feels cheap. i bought it because a coworker has a tamrac bag made from a nice heavyweight material, but this one is made from ballistic nylon. it may be strong, but feels like junk. my jansport circa 1994 feels like a better bag. come to think of it, jansport should make camera bags. i'm probably gonna send this thing back and get something else. Strengths: - well-padded shoulder straps
- tuck away waist strap
- plenty of room Weaknesses: - thin, cheap feeling padding
- "lens gate" padding elements just suck
- thin, cheap feeling material
- no D-rings for shoulder strap
- freaking huge Similar Products Used: only other backpack used was a Lowepro Micro-trekker Customer Service: called in reference to a product mixup, they were extremely helpful and courteous.
