Comments about Tamrac Tamrac 5606, Pro 6, Medium Sized, Professional Camera Bag for 35mm or Digital SLRs, Black.:
The Tamrac 5606 has proven to be an excellent investment for my camera system. I use a Canon T1i with the BG-E5 battery grip. I usually carry three lenses, a flash, several filters, multiple batteries for flash and camera, a lens cleaning kit, a flash reflector, and an assortment of other odds and ends and this all fits comfortably in this case with room to spare. I have enough space to add a light meter and more.
The protective internal layers of this case keep all of my gear safe and well secured. I would highly recommend this system bag to anyone who has need to house and carry multiple lenses and additional equipment while not needing to step up to a larger, multi-camera system bag.

I started shopping for a camera bag 2 weeks after I purchased my 1st DSLR and I am a super critical shopper. I can find flaws, negative aspects, and places where a change here would win big with other users-but I'll be honest with you reading this, I'm not sure the bag could be improved! I looked at over a dozen bags from 3 manufactures and I found my self always migrating back to Tamrac products.
I recently purchased my first DSLR with the basic 18-55mm lens and already acquired quite a few other accessories, YN-460 speedlite, 3 camera batteries, pistol grip, tripod, filters, hard drive, chargers, small point & shoot camera, dozens of AA and AAA batteries, SD & CF cards, filters, etc. I guess I thought this bag would serve its immediate purpose of quick access, utility (how easy it was to access and use), durability w/o sacrificing protection and quality, longevity, and how much I could grow w/o getting into bigger more cumbersome bags, portability, and how big a foot print it would take up because I'm limited in real-estate in my vehicle and places I shoot. Before I kept most of this stuff just loose or in my laptop bag and was struggling with professionalism in the way I looked and organization, but managed for years! Within minutes of packing all of this in the bag I still had room to grow add a couple of lens and I could tell how organized it was. I can reach into the bad w/o looking and its great. Even friends and now customers have commented on how awesome it looks to walk up with bad and tripod in hand. It's added an aspect to my hobby that has become a 2nd profession for me in my spare time. I am already looking at my 2nd Tamrac bag and possibly a different business model then I currently using.
In my opinion you wont find a better bag for the value! I've already recovered my investment in the organization and professionalism, while acheiving a durable camera bag with tons of protection!
After I did a couple of shoots, I was downloading some photos at my parents home and my mother (who been a photographer for decades) commented on my bag...I said oh yeah, what kind do you have? She replied, Tamrac. The bag was in excess of 6 years old and camera too, used twice a week on average and the bag was in excellent shape 8 out of 10 in physical appearance and still a 10 on the inside. It ironic I never asked her before I purchased my bag, but now I bounce ideas off of her and she's a wealth of knowledge I can tap into.
