Replaced my Tamarac Messenger Bag purchased years ago. Looks to much better, more professional, retains its shape better and holds more! The only issue I have is the canvas covering is a yellow-lab-hair magnet.

I was very impressed with my new Tenba Cooper 15 bag It has an enormous amount of space and pockets for all my gear needs, its very convenient for airline travel as well as my needs for job assignments. My only complaint is the somewhat thin padded dividers inside for your gear

After years of experimenting and lots of changes this one camera bag came into my life to rule them all! At least as a street walker model! Great for one pro DSLR with grip and a 24-70 or 24-105 on, will also fit an 150-600 and your favorite macro lens and a flash without problems! If you can carry the weight that is! Want even more space? Detach the inner compartment and add a second body or one or two more lenses, a raincoat or anything that suits your individual needs. In any of the above configurations rooms for a laptop up to 15,4, batteries, chargers, memory cards, card readers, smartphones and of course the included very strong rain cover are dedicated and not affected. The zipper on the top of the back is top notch quality and at the just super perfect position, for fast camera access and immediate use, without dragging out extra lenses accidentally. This is NOT a hard case, not a soft one. If you carry it sideways it will adjust to your side so you can move through crowds -within rollers cues of course, but it will!-. The accompanying shoulder strap is also excellent in size and quality and the only one I have not replaced with a custom one. Quite Velcro’s are another check on the positives lost. Drawbacks? None, after 1 year in full use almost every day, in the car, on my shoulder, in coaches, under any weather condition. And NO signs of wear yet. Highly recommended product, it will make your life easier.

Versitle interior to protect body and lenses. Does not look like a camera gadget bag. A big plus .

This bag is everything that was advertised .. no surprises, well made... Haven't had an opportunity to use yet ..looking forward to using. I would recommend that the Mfg. add padding at the bottom of the insert for extra protection for the equipment inside. I added my own foam padding at the bottom .. for peace of mind.

Quality construction and design. The Cooper 15 may be on the large side for everyday carry, but will be my primary carry-on for air travel. Well worth the cost!

I bought this bag because I have a rolling case and I was on a shoot and I asked my assistant to bring the bag over and it was not zipped closed. Well my lenses and Nikon d700 fell out. I bought this right away. Un zipped you can pick it up no problem. It has 2 zippers closing the bag from the top. Room for laptop and lots of pockets. Sturdy did I say sturdy. Great bag. I love it!

The overall design of this bag is good. It's well laid out and has many good features. Here is a list of my thoughts about the bag. 1) The material, while pleasing to the eye, felt and looked like it would not wear well. In fact, after receiving the bag, I loaded it up and carried it around the house and noticed immediately that the fabric showed slight unevenness in the nap. Not a good sign. 2) When the bag filled with lenses, pulling them out becomes difficult because the bag's interior doesn't allow lenses to slip easily in and out. Also, the bag doesn't hold its shape well, which makes heavy lenses sink toward the center and become hard to quickly remove. When I need quick access to a lens, I don't want to fight and tug to get to it. 3) The expandable end pockets are well designed and easy to use. Would have been really nice to have flaps to cover and protect the contents- especially if it's a lens without a cap. 4) The padded section on the strap felt a little thin for a bag of this size, although it does have good grip dots to help prevent it slipping off ones shoulder. 5) My biggest complaint is the silent velcro. If you need to be discrete at a wedding or anywhere else, it is nearly impossible to quietly disengage the cover flap without hearing the usual velcro noise. Would have been nice to have silencers like Think Tank uses. 6) The front pockets are nice, but since they're not pleated, they won't fit a flash or anything bigger than smaller items. 7) The zippered top for quick access is a good idea, but can prove a little difficult to get to items like bigger lenses in the interior side pockets. It's a great looking bag, and I only ordered it because there was a one day sale for almost 50% off, but there were issues that I couldn't overlook, so I sent it back.

To begin with let me start by saying that this is a large bag. I was able to put my Nikon 7200, four lens and a flash in it with no problem. This is good and bad, I have a tendency to take more than I really need and end up carrying a lot of extra weight. The bag itself is both beautiful and well constructed. There are enough pockets and zippers to accommodate all my periferal gear. Dividers are plentiful, no need to buy extras. My only question is will it hold up and only time will tell.

This bag is not only stylish and sleek, it can hold my DSLR and more lenses than I could ever need on a shoot. It looks like I'm just carrying a messenger-style book bag and, when on the shoulder, it somehow feels super light—unlike most other camera bags that hold the same amount of gear.

Great bag with lots of room. If you load it up it will be heavy. The nice thing is that because the padding is not thick it does mold more to your body which makes it easier to carry. I do have one concern and that is that I noticed a "weak" spot in the leather bottom. The leather on the bottom is thick, but there is on area that feels like the leather has a cut on the inside. This is not noticeable on the outside except for what looks like a "fault" in the leather which is often found in leather. I am concerned that this might be a weak spot that will eventually wear out. Since it has a five year warranty I will keep an eye on the area. Other than that this is a fantastic bag especially with the price I paid for it.

First of all, I bought this bug on Memorial Day sale for half of the price it cost today. That’s probably the only reason I’m going keep it. I took it once for an event and I’m probably not going to do it again. Here is the reason: This bag has an unbelievably thin insert. It is probably one-third of other versions. When you have, this bag loaded on your shoulder it will wrap up around your body. It is absolutely impossible to take a lens out or find anything in the bag unless you put it on a floor. Bottom line, if you want to travel with this bag it is not bad, but you cannot shoot events with this on a shoulder. Attaching a picture of this bag on my belly.

I have three camera bags for differing occasions and came across the Tenba Cooper 15. It was received in excellent condition and I was glad to see that it has plenty of room for the lenses that I use (including the 70-200mm) and has a top opening that allows you to get to your camera and lenses quickly and the quitter Velcro is a big plus. The material is top quality (what you would expect for this price) and also, this bag is very comfortable to carry. The best I have seen (at least for me).

I've had the Temba Cooper 15 for a couple weeks. I really had two purposes for getting the bag. 1. I travel a lot and needed something that would hold a lot including a laptop at times. I wanted it to fit under a seat on an airplane. 2. I do some event shooting and need something that will be comfortable to carry and allow quick access to gear. It really succeeds in doing both pretty well. When I'm traveling I carry an enormous amount of gear in this bag. Believe it or not I have a Sigma 150-600 in this bag along with a 70-200 Tamron, a 50mm f/1.4 and a 30mm f/1.4. In this configuration it still fits easily under a seat on an airplane and as I'm going through an airport it can slip over the handle of my suitcase or wheeled briefcase. For an event shoot, I get remove the Sigma 150-600mm add some speedlights and more and still get around comfortably. The bag looks great and seems durable so far. The silent velcro is genius. Cons: Lets be frank it is expensive for what it is but there aren't many other cons. I wish some of the pocket areas had additional zippers. I want a place to put SD Cards and not have to worry about them slipping out somewhere. I wish one of the side pockets (that I've used for holding water bottles and such) had a cover that had velcro. I want to put a speedlight there and not worry that it could possibly fall out. There isn't a perfect bag which means I'll probably get a larger bag for holding "everything" soon and reserve this one for events but for now it is doing a great job.
