Price Paid: $70.00 from B&H

Summary:

I love this bag, it is perfect for one camera, 2 lenses and films walkaround system. The canvas feels nice, velcro locks tight, and the inner paddings well protects the equipments. The length of the shoulder strap is good and the belt strap option is also very useful. I bought this bag with the belt strap and it is also very comfortable to use. I would buy this again, this is my favoriate bag so far.

Strengths:

Durable canvas, soft inner compartmenst, light weight. The size is not bulky to carry around so I get to take it anywhere.

Weaknesses:

The black fades if you wash it with detergent. So I hand wash it with non soap bar.

Price Paid: $56.00 from local camera store

Summary:

Excellent bag for light travel. The canvas is tough, the padding is thinner than other bags I''''ve had, but protects the contents well. I carry an slr with lens, a 200 mm telephoto, electronic flash, film, lens brush, and lens cloth. Access to the contents is very good. Best grab and go bag I''''ve ever had. The strap grips the shoulder well. I haven''''t tried the belt carry mode yet.

Strengths:

Protection of contents, durability, access to contents.

Weaknesses:

None perceived.
