The Tamrac 469 Photo Messenger 9 Bag is a Cordura bag made to carry film or digital equipment. The bag has padding in the main compartment and the back computer pocket. Equipment can be accessed instantly via the TurboTop, a dual-entry system that opens with a quick pull of the parallel double zippers. The main compartment was specifically designed to carry 1-2 pro-sized digital or film SLR camera bodies with an attached lens up to 7 1/2" long, four to five additional lenses, a flash and accessories. The expandable back compartment fits an Apple 17" PowerBook or similar-sized notebook. When not in use, the zippered back compartment quickly converts into a slim document pocket.
There are interior and exterior pockets to organize accessories, and an outside mobile phone pocket keeps your phone in easy reach. The bag is carried by an attached, adjustable, foam-padded shoulder strap or a padded carrying handle, and a Piggy-Back Pocket allows the bag to be slipped over the handle of rolling luggage. The bag can use M.A.S. (Modular Accessory System) and S.A.S. (Strap Accessory System) accessory attachments.

Comments about Tamrac 469 Photo Messenger 9 Shoulder Bag:
I used to travel with two bags, one for my computer and business materials, another for my camera. This bag allows me to carry everything together. When I arrive at my destination, I leave the laptop in the hotel safe and use this bag for shooting. It isn't the best shoulder bag, as it can be a little awkward to get things out. It is a decent compromise and is less conspicuous than a typical shoulder bag or comparable backpack. I carry a D300, 12-24mm, 24-70mm, 70-200mm, flash, filters, and hoods. Once the camera and a lens are out of the bag, it isn't that heavy.

Comments about Tamrac 469 Photo Messenger 9 Shoulder Bag:
Unfortunately, I can't say much good about this bag. I bought it to replace my Lowepro Omni Traveler which I outgrew. The Tamrac bag only opens from the top, which means a long reach down for anything under the dividers. The Lowepro opens from the side or the top, which makes access so much easier. The bag is large and holds quite a bit of equipment. The down side is it gets heavy quickly. The strap pad slides off the shoulder very easily. It does not have any tripod straps.
I bought this bag mainly for a two-week trip to Europe, used everyday. By the end of the trip, I was longing for my Lowepro.
