This bag is really great. I looked at many more expensive options that probably would have been inferior. The build quality is superb and it is very well designed. Handle, strap, and pocket placement are great. I carry a Nikon D7000 with lens attached, one extra lens, a Fuji X100, Flip Mino, Sony Audio recorder, microphone, batteries and still have room. The bag has plenty of configurable dividers. The side has think stiff padding, but the bag is fairly lightweight. I carried this around all day and really came to love it. Great buy, you can't go wrong with this bag if you are looking for a compact and versatile bag for your gear.

The bag is a good size for general use. Tenba provides many dividers that all you to confgure the bag for different uses. On a trip to Costa Rica, I had the opportunity to use the included rain cover that saved my camera equipment from the elements.

This unique bag makes camera and lenses very easily available without removing the pack from the shoulder, and allows for fast and easy lens changes. It has many access ports, is very comfortable, and looks good, too. It holds my DSLR with attached lens and 3 additional lenses with ease, as well as spare battery and assorted small accessories.

Looked long and hard for a bag which would serve as a walkabout shoulder/handbag with fast access to my Canon 7D with 28-300 lens attached. This small bag fits this equipment snugly but perfectly, no dividers necessary. Padding is exceptionally good, and equipment is easily accessible either through the main cover (using clips) or the much quicker (zippered) hatch. Pop-Out-Pockets are useful for accessories, but if you want to keep walkabout weight to a minimum there may be no need for them because there is a well-padded pocket inside the main compartment which holds a few filters, remote control, etc. This bag is well planned. Another example of thoughtful design are the steel (not plastic) triangular D rings which keep detachable handle and shoulder straps from 'fighting' with one another and allow quick identification of which clips belong to what. The shoulder strap is well padded, but could be more contoured to fit the wearer's neck. For carrying a heavy body & lens, this is not a minor shortcoming. Overall, this bag rates every one of five stars. It is well designed, well made, and ideal for carrying all day when walking foreign streets and byways where quick access is needed for quick shots, without worrying about protection for expensive equipment. The quality is unbeatable; the low price astounding!

I will admit it. I am a camera bag junkie. When I read the ad for this one at the Adorama site I thought it had some neat features. I now use it exclusively for my small setup for daily use. It holds my Nikon D5000 with the 18-55VR attached, the 55-200 VR, SB-400, 35mm f1.8G and a Tokina 12-24mm and there is still one empty slot. Well designed, lightweight and sturdy. Great value.

Bought this bag because it was on sale. I can carry everything but my long lens in this bag. This bag allows for organization and easy access of camera and equipment. It's worth a lot more than I paid.

This is a sturdy, nicely designed bag that has become my main bag. I have the small version. The internal dividers took a bit of time to figure out and configure, but persistence paid off and I love it. Inside, I have room for a 70-300 VR, 55-200 VR, DSLR w/lens, a couple of SB600 flashes and still not filled up - all pieces readily accessible. The expandable sides are a plus, and add a little more room. They are a bit bulky when expanded but they get the job done. I especially like the smaller top opening so I can just grab my camera without opening the whole lid. Well padded, lots of nooks and crannies and pockets for all your small stuff. Great short and long straps and very sturdy hardware. The hidden "covert clips" to access the main compartment are especially cool. I love it!

First used for my D40X digital, now exclusively for my prized (c.1976) F2AS, since it can carry four AIS lenses, including my 200 f/4 Micro, and Seconic meter
