Review 2 of 4

Price Paid:  $225.00 from Adorama

Summary:

I have purchased several bags both larger and smaller and this is THE bag for me. I load this thing with a Pro SLR sized digital camera, 2 flashes and remote trigger with Sto-fen diffusors, 8 lenses of which 4 are large 2.8 3+lbs. each. 2 teleconverters and power supplies and cables and books and a bunch of other stuff. Thankfully I work out as this bag now weighs in at over 30lbs If you need a large bag that is still managable (like my suitcase size one''s weren''t) THIS IS THE BAG!

Strengths:

Superb bulletproof and waterproofed construction. More slots, pouches and places to put things than you can count. The Piggyback feature is a life saver for a full time traveler like me. Tons of padding for protection

Weaknesses:

NONE

Review 3 of 4

Model Reviewed:
Pro System 14 (614)

Summary:

This is one of the largest camera bags made to be carried on the shoulder. Any bigger and you need a mule. It has the 'lens bridge system' so you can carry two SLRs (big ones) with lenses attached, ready to go, and fit stuff under and behind and everywhere.

I carry 2 bodies w/motors, 20/2.8, 50/1.4 (both on the bodies), 28-70/2.8, 70-200/2.8, 300/4, 1.4X and 2X converters, flash, battery pack, light meter, and 40 rolls of film -- and that's in the main compartment!!! I can carry 40-60 more rolls of film, a large notebook, lots of filters and filter holders, off-camera flash cord, pens, markers, and all the little junk that clutters up the bottom of your bag in the outside pockets of this behemoth.

And after all that I still have room to shove things in the 'strobe hatch' in the back of the bag, which gives access to the space under the cameras. I can fit a couple boxes of batteries, a handle-mount flash, maybe a complete tool kit (just kidding).

No, seriously, this thing is *big*. And did I mention that it is quite large? I carry all this stuff because I need it for the differing kinds of assignments that I have throughout the day. But otherwise it is way overkill for most photographers.

When I know exactly what I need for an assignment, I carry a much smaller kit in an old Domke bag. But for general, everyday use, this is the only bag that will carry it all with any sense of comfort and convenience.

Strengths:

Can carry a whole lot of equipment; very durable

Weaknesses:

severe back pain from carrying a whole lot of equipment

Similar Products Used:

various bags from domke, tenba, lowepro, and tamrac
