Beautiful bag but not the best use of space

This is a really nice looking bag that seems well made. I haven't had it long enough to how well it will hold up, but the materials and construction are clearly high quality. The "silent" Velcro isn't silent, but it is much quieter than other bags. The top zipper is a nice touch, but it can be a little awkward to use depending on how you have things laid out inside the bag. It comes with a nice set of dividers that should cover a lot of different configuration. My biggest complaint with this bag is that the way it's organized is not the best way to make use of space. The bag is significantly larger and heavier than the Cooper 6, but only has a little more space. You're not going to fit an extra lens in this bag, only some smaller accessories or batteries. I also don't find the shoulder strap all that comfortable, but it is replaceable. All in all, if I paid retail price for this bag I'd be disappointed and would have returned it. I purchased this on a daily deal, so for the price I paid I'm willing to live with the shortcomings.

Nice & Tight

I settled on the Cooper 8 when looking for a stylish, everyday carry for my modest Fuji kit. It might be just a bit too tight for my preferences at times, but I think the quality of the bag is enough to offset that for me. Typically I carry a Fuji X-T1 with a 23mm 1.4 attached, and a 56mm in the other section. Very snug, but still doable. Although it's perfect with my 35mm f2 attached and an extra lens or two, depending on size. I can not say enough good things about the build quality and functionality of this bag. I especially love the zipper-top for quick access. I wouldn't hesitate to buy bag in the series. In fact, the Cooper 13 Slim might be next on my list.

Great bag!

Love this bag but now it's too small. Quality is amazing!

Small size is good, but I would probably get the next larger size next time.

Quality is outstanding. Worth the price. My only concern is that the zipper opening on top is really too small of an opening to fit my rangefinder camera without rubber up against the zipper. I would like a large opening to drop the camera back in or get out. I'm considering ordering the next large size after only having this one two weeks.
