- well-padded shoulder straps - tuck away waist strap - plenty of room

- thin, cheap feeling padding - "lens gate" padding elements just suck - thin, cheap feeling material - no D-rings for shoulder strap - freaking huge

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.

Customer Service

only other backpack used was a Lowepro Micro-trekker

price, size, usability

uncomfortable, no back support as in regular photo backpacks

If you're tall, forget it. It's a good buy compared to the other bags but once loaded, it will bite you in the middle of the back. I like the bag otherwise, I just wouldn't wear it for more than fifteen minutes.

Quality, you can't go wrong w/ this product. Tamac has huge selections to meet a varity of needs. Very roomy in the main body, I use it to hold my Pentax 67II w/ two lenses, meter, and sometimes a handle mount flash. In the head of the bag I carry sometimes a Polaroid 185, or a Mini DV camcorder. It all depends. This area is also great for film, or a lightjacket. Side pouches are very generous and are great for filters, film, or 4x5 holders. There is a large zipper area in front of the body that I use for lots of small things like, pens, markers, cable release, etc. There is another zipper area in the back, but that is more suited for flat objects since it rests against your back. Good price.

Shoulder straps could be more comfortable. Upper pouch is not padded and I get by w/ whatever I put in there that needs protection by using Domke wraps. Prices take advantage of photographers when they are aimed at the commercial industry.

This is a versatile bag that breaks away from the over the shoulder keeping my hip traditional camera bag. I like it because it is much more descreet from bags that scream out mug me, I have expensive camera equipment w/ me!

Tamrac camera bags and some others.

Lot's of room for experienced photog. Can carry 2 cameras w/lens, 2-3 telephoto lens, 2-3 standard lens, flash, filters, etc. Doesn't look like a camera bag!

Only have a small issue with the cover/flap. Wish it didn't cover lower compartment (camera area) access zipper. Also wish upper compartment was padded.

752 is great for outdoor or urban trips. Carries enough equipment for most experienced photographers. I own both the 750 & 752 Tamrac Daypacks (see 750 review). I use the 752 when I'm in need of multiple cameras (film and digital), plus lots of lenses.

Went from shoulder type photo bags to daypack style.

Roomy, but compact. Can handle more than one body + several lenses and lots of accessories

Would like the ability to carry a tripod easily attached to this bag.

I'm short and this daypack doesn't overwhelm my back. Since I frequently am photographing grizzly bears in Alaska, I like being able to get into my bag without having to set it down on wet muddy ground. For anyone under 5'6" I strongly suggest looking at this product.
