$215.00 Summary:
i bought this bag after i dropped my prior "kneissel" bag to a 2 meter hole in the ground. after i emptied my pockets for repairing and replacing damged equipment i went out looking for a bag that can protect my equipment from everything; drops, bangs, fires, flash floodings, lightning bolts, small firearms and hand graneds. well, maybe not hand graneds. although i didn't try kicking the compact aw around with the stuff in it, i'm pretty sure that it will do the job.
one other factor that should be taken in considiration is the israeli weather. it's hot, very hot. despite it's heat consuming black colour it's realy heat isolating.
the following equipment fits easily into it:
canon t90 camera, canon ae1 camera, 21-35mm lens, 50mm lens, 100-300 lens, x2 teleconverter, soltron flash unit, up to eight rolls of film in an inside pocket and much more equipment in the outer pockets.
this bag is has no serious drawbacks. perfect 10! Strengths:
the compact aw provides excellent protection from heat, water (has a water resistent cover), and the usual kinetic abuse.
it has room for two small slr's, one large lens and 2-3 small ones. a flash will find it's place easily too, along with plenty of film and many other stuff.
all of that equipment can be heavy, so the big fat strap realy comes in handy. Weaknesses:
there are three plastic nets on the compact aw- one on each side pocket, and one more on top. they look like one of these days the israeli heat will make them brake... but that's not a big issue because i don't have any use for them.
there isn't enough space for filters: the large front pocket provides space and protection for up to two small filters and one large filter. you can allways shove a filter here and there around the bag, but it's a mess. Similar Products Used:
many other bags from many other compenies.
