Good bag but.................
By IanVerified Reviewer from Bahrain on 5/15/2008
Pros:
Good Protection, Weatherproof
Cons:
Uncomfortable Strap
Best Uses:
Bad Weather, Daily Transport, Travel

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

OK this is a good bag, well constructed and it will offer protection for your gear, well padded. Other reviews and the specs say the bag will hold 7-10 lenses in addition to two camera bodies and flash etc, well in the picture as you can see there are three lenses, two bodies, and a flash gun and the bag is as full as a butchers dog!! the gear in the bag is , from top left going clockwise - Canon 24-70mm zoom, Canon 40D body, Canon 70-300mm zoom, Canon 10-22mm zoom, Canon 300D body Canon 580EX 11 flash; the side pockets hold some filters, books, and a Canon PS 80A compact. I'm at a loss to see how I could fit another four lenses in? However that is a good walk around system in there so no complaints really, just think that the specs and some other reviews are a little misleading, if you want to carry around two bodies, 7 lenses and flash guns etc, you will need a bigger bag.

Pretty good bag. Hold even my Canon 100-400 F/4L IS USM lens. Only draw back to this lens is there isn't the hook side of the Velcro all around the bag, just in certain spots.

My earlier review was for a Quantaray bag that I bought at the same time - Sorry! This is a nice bag to store lenses and gadgets, but you can not carry a long lens mounted on the camera. There is not a cradle and the lens must be carried pointing down. It will hold smaller lenses mounted, but not a 70-200mm or 100-400mm. Sorry about the incorrect info in my previous post, but there doesn't appear to be a way to edit it.

 
Terrific bag for the price.

Even though I have a number of bags, I wanted a shoulder bag that would allow me to leave a 100-400mm lens mounted to my Canon 30D. This bag does allow that.

Besides the above, it also holds all this equipment when I travel:
Lenses - 10-22mm, 17-55mm, 50mm, 85mm.
Canon 580EX Flash unit with off shoe wiring and remote cable.
Torpedo blower and other cleaning supplies.
58mm and 77mm polarizing filters.
Set of Kenko closeup tubes.
2 teleconverters - 2X and 1.4X

I could probably load a couple of other lenses in it, but these seem to handle most of my needs when I travel. I have loaded a 150mm macro lens with the above, but rarely travel with it.

The only problem I have had with it, is that it gets pretty heavy with all my equipment loaded and the strap is not padded. To solve this problem, I bought a vehicle seatbelt pad that attaches with velcro and attached it to the strap. That definitely helped make it more comfortable. Most people probably won't load this much equipment in it, so it shouldn't be a problem.

 
A terrific deal for a large camera bag.
By magicmikeyVerified Purchaser from Knoxville, TN on 2/5/2007
Pros:
A real bargain, Strong Construction, Very Protective, Well Padded
Cons:
Slightly older design
Best Uses:
Protecting Gear, Storing Gear, Transporting Gear
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I was looking for a bag that would hold two camera bodies with battery grips. Most of the bags I saw were much more expensive than this one. It is a really nice bag for the money. The only thing I would like to see added is dividers with a cradle so you can put a camera with a longer lens on it in the bag.

 
Very satisfied;love the colour.

Lightweight, Strong Construction, Stylish, Very Protective, Well Padded
Best Uses:
Protecting Gear, Storing Gear, Transporting Gear
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I much prefer this colour compared to the previous green & tan. However; I would have loved the strap that go around the waist to be included, as it was in the previous Canon bag that I owned.

Perfect Bag for big setups.
By Ben Poulin from Atlanta, GA. on 8/20/2006
Pros:
Strong Construction, Stylish, Very Protective, Weatherproof, Well Padded
Cons:
Not enough dividers
Best Uses:
Carrying multiple cameras, Protecting Gear, Transporting Gear

It is the greatest bag I have ever owned. I travel a lot, it fits in the carry on luggage compartment, and Carries 2 bodies, one with a battery grip, 5 lenses, Flash, Remote cord, 8 BP-511 batteries, extra AA's for the flash, and chargers for both. All of this and room to spare for Flash card readers, small portable hard drives, usb thumb drives, and normal accesories.
