I use this bag daily to keep a Nikon D700 and three lenses and a few accessories with me at all times. The strap is very comfortable. The medium satchel is small enough to carry into most museums that allow photography but have bag size restrictions. It has a solid, slightly dressy feel about it. In general, this line is very well thought out. My only very minor complaints: - The pen/pencil slots are very small. - It is one inch to shallow to stow a D700 with a 180mm f2.8 lens attached. - The pockets are a bit tight. - Now that I've had it for a month, some threads in the stitching are starting to break and stick out. - I wish Tenba made a messenger bag in the same line. - I'd keep it out of any significant rainfall.

I got this bag to carry my photo gear on a long vacation with lots of walking and sightseeing. Photo opportunities are multiple so the balance between taking all the gear and taking only the gear which can be comfortably carried is difficult. This bag is the best comprimise that I could find. It holds a D90, lenses of 18-200mm, 12-24mm, and 50mm as well as sets of 77mm and 72mm filters. Aditionally there is space for media, bateries, chargers, lens pens, etc. in a front pocket There is no room for a flash. There is a tight external pocked in the rear that could hold a passport, plane ticket or thin diary/log. Packed in this way, the bag is not too heavy, has my basics and is still very portable. The strap is first class comfort and has excellent ergometrics. The padding is heavy on the bottom of the bag and less on the sides thus enabling the designers to achieve a thinner design. As a result, it's not too thick and it hangs on your shoulder well. Less important by well worth mentioning is that the bag looks great. It is very sturdy and well made with a lots of attention paid to quality of materian and workmanship. It's an outstanding Camera bag.
