It can hold two camera bodies with lenses attached and 2-3 additional lenses, or one body with a lens attached plus 3-5 lenses. It accommodates a maximum lens size of 300mm f/2.8 or 150-600mm f/5-6.3 attached to a body, making it an ideal choice for photographers who need to carry a comprehensive kit.

I picked up the bag early last month and quickly moved into the new bag. I used it hiking in the Redwood National parks and along the Northern CA coast. Then the real test, flying from Northern CA to Eastern Europe where I live, it fit nicely on my my carry on suitcase, and held me equipment very organized. I use an a7r5, 70-200 f4, 35 f1,8, 85 f1.8 and a Venus Optics Laowa 15mm f/2 FE. It even held my DJI mini 4 pro drone. The one thing I have had to improvise with is a removable organizing pouch for the front. Any recommendations? Overall, I really like the bag!

Darklight; versatile bag!

My overall impression of the DarkLight 20L was favorable. The size is sufficient however I use a battery pack on my Nikon SLR camera and with the battery pack attached my 15" laptop will not fit on the laptop sleeve. Small problem with an easy but inconvenient workaround. Other than that the backpack is a great addition to the ThinkTank line.

DarkLight 20L

Right size and weight to accommodate my needs. Going to use it on a two week trip starting next week.

Overall great bag. 25L would be perfect. Front pocket should unzip full length. Held up well on my firdt trip was able to carry my 14" MacBook Pro, 11" iPad Pro along with Z8, Z6II, 24-200, 14-24 and 100-400.

I have been on the lookout for a new smaller travel bag for awhile and saw one of your ambassadors post about this bag and with a little review of it in one of my gear groups. I'll be honest it was him (Jasin Boland) that sold me on it. Now that I have it and have had some time with it was worth the hype. You have definitely sold me on future bags, you can tell how well thought out just this bag is and everything on it has a purpose, I'll be replacing my large bag with a Think Tank bag later this year.

Excellent Bag!

The Darklight 20L is a good concept if not a little basic. My immediate reaction was that it was designed by an accountant with a focus on engineering out cost - the absence of the usual selection of robust internal pockets or security zips being obvious points. It will be fine for unadventurous photography but I wouldn't rely on it for demanding trips. Hopefully ThinkTank will introduce some Molle pouches - this functionality was a big attraction for me buying the bag in the first place.
