I really liked the bag is a convenient size for a small outing. I was going oversea's and thought it was going to be bigger, so I ended up returning it and getting a different bag. I wish I would have kept it as well, nice bag.

big enough for my a7r3 with 2 lenses and my Mini 2 drone but not too big for travel! construction seems to be solid, but not yet tested over time.

Very satisfied. Sturdy and tough, practical, lightweight, plenty of dividers, holds what I need. Very happy to have the water bottle holder. Slightly wider strap is the only improvement I would suggest.

I actually have two of these along with an assortment of other TT gear. First of all, exceptionally well crafted, never worn one out yet. This particular model has a very stout shoulder strap, its very water resistant and in my case, this Exposure 13 holds a Nikon F2 and two lenses with ease. It’s not quite as “feature filled” as my TT City Walker bag but its less expensive too. If you need a robust, well made shoulder bag, this is an excellent choice.

Owner of multiple messenger / camera bags in general including ThinkTank retrospect 7. This bag is definitely better organized than retrospect and built better too. My main concern with canvas bags is the floppy lid and main compartment. This bag resolves all those problems. Everything is made to fit perfectly and nothing wiggles or flaps or collapses. Love it. It also holds surprising amount of gear without sagging - another issue with canvas bags. The strap is very comfortable and has a dedicated latch on which you can attach peak design capture clip. Very clever indeed. The main compartment can hold 13 inch laptop but with some tight fitting I managed to push a 14inch laptop in. Smaller section up front holds 10.5 inch ipad easily too. This is what my bag holds currently - Olympus OM-D E-M1 mark II Olympus 12-40 pro Olympus 45mm f1.8 Olympus 60mm macro Panasonic Leica DG 100-400mm Panasonic Leica 15mm Olympus FL-600R flash Card holder Flash bounce Misc caps and cables Batteries Peak design slide strap And probably more. It's packed to brim but holds much better than any other messenger bag I ever had. This is close to 10/10 bag without breaking the bank.

First off, I want to get on the table I have a lot of Think Tank gear, which IMHO is very well made, well designed and its a great company to deal with, the few times I have had questions or warranty issues they are very responsive. I wanted a new bag in this case to hold my Nikon F2 with some older non AI lenses and this bag does that very well. I should mention I have a City Walker 20 and its a very comparable bag but the Exposure 13 is compared to it a much more basic bag with less of the cool extras you often find in Think Tank vs MindShift products . I went with the Exposure 13 for the price point but it will not disappoint.

I wanted a new shoulder bag for my new Nikon Z6. With a much smaller body and lenses, a 13” bag was the right size. I tried several bags first but I didn’t care for them. The MindShift Exposure is as close to the right bag for my specific needs as I’ve found. The main compartment is big enough for my Z6 with the Nikon 50mm attached, a Sigma 24-70 with the Nikon FTZ attached, a speedlight, and a wireless controller. A 9.7” iPad fits perfectly. The shoulder strap is decent - I like the sliders, and that it’s detachable - though I added a neoprene shoulder strap pad. The detachable straps which connect to the base (for a tripod or a jacket) are a nice addition. The water bottle pocket is a welcome feature, as is the strap for a Peak Capture or Spyder clip. There are a few areas that could be improved. The interior compartments are *just* big enough for things like a hard drive, card case, or batteries. They seem to be based on the generic briefcase/bookbag dividers found in so many bags, rather than being purpose-designed for camera bag specific things like a batteries or memory cards. It's also fairly tight, so anything like an eyeglass case pushes it out pretty far. The strap that holds it closed hooks into a small loop, making it a little hard to use; I intend to replace it. The main exterior clasp is functional, but I prefer Peak’s magnetic latch to the plastic clasp. Overall, it's a solid bag at a good price point for anyone looking for a small-ish bag for a mirrorless camera and a basic set of gear.

I'm an active photographer who does a mixture of action sports, travel, and lifestyle photography and I've struggled to find the right shoulder bag. I needed something that was technical enough for long days in the field but stylish enough to wander the city streets and not look out of place. Enter the Exposure! I've been using this bag now for close to a year and I have to say it is the perfect shoulder bag for what I need. The Exposure 13 has enough room for my Sony A7, 35mm prime, 24-70mm, and my macbook, plus flash, card reader, hard drive, and a light jacket. The bag also allows you to easily sling a tripod on the bottom with the provided straps which works very well even while riding your bike. The quality of workmanship is excellent without wasting money on lavish and unnessecary extras. The strap is comfortable, the bag is stylish and durable. What more could you want?
