I used this bag to cover a wedding. It fits all of my lenses and my laptop but I found it to be way too big and too heavy fully loaded to lug around during the shoot. This bag is useful as a "storage" or source bag, then use a smaller back pack to take on a trip or cover an event.
Issues: When initially reconfiguring the compartments, the Velcro leaves little "bits" of itself in the bag. I could not see this until I was at the shoot and full daylight was available. It would be a good idea to vacuum the compartments after you have reconfigured the bag to accomodate your gear prior to use so as to avoid any Velcro from migrating into your lenses or camera body.
**70-200 Lens. The compartments have to be reconfigured for cameras with battery grips, and that works fine. The problem is with the 70-200 lens with the hood (in the stowed backwards) position. When stowing a camera with the 70-200 and lens hood installed (in either direction) the compartments are not wide enough to accommodate the lens with the hood installed. I had to reconfigure the bag in the center, and create an extra wide compartment, remove the hood entirely from the lens and stow it separately. I do not have this problem with my LowePro mini trekker back pack. This is a minor issue though. The bag is well thought out, but again it is much bigger than it looks in pictures. I will use this bag for storage of all my equipment, but I will revert back to my mini trekker for travelling. Worth the money if you want to use it for equipment storage purpose. If you need a bag that will hold all your gear (or like taking all of your lenses with you because you just never know what you'll shoot) and to travel or cover local events with, you may consider a larger back pack. I hope this helps you.

This camera case is huge it is what I wanted. Some problems are the carrying handles. They should be designed in a way that allows you to lift the bag without having to zipper the top. You can do this with the Kata bags. There needs to be an accessory divider system for purchase that allow for other configurations. Tamarac could use help in that department. The bag is very deep that is good I can stand my 70-200 NIkkor on end but there needs to be a better system for getting into equipment you have layered below other equipment.

Comments about Tamrac 614 Super Pro 14 Shoulder Bag - for 2 SLR Pro Camera Outfit with Notebook Computer (Black):
Prior to ordering this bag from B&H I read all of the reviews. The only real negative comments that I read were that some felt it was too heavy once you load it with all your gear. Please do not be deterred by the weight - this is an awesome bag!!! I wanted a big bag to house all of my photo gear.
If you are physically weak, then perhaps this is not the bag for you. But if you can't handle the weight then why even buy this type of bag? Seriously - some people whine about the greatest products, and in my opinion this is a great product.
I was also pleasantly surprised to see that YES - it will fit as an airline carry on bag! I've only had my bag a couple of weeks, but the quality of construction seems excellent as well. I rarely write reviews, but thought it was worthy to write a positive review to counter the negative weight reviews I read by others.
A proposal to those that find the bag "too heavy" - perhaps lift some weights in between photo shoots, or just sell all your high end gear if it is too heavy and just buy a point and shoot camera that you could carry in your pocket.
I'm so glad I ignored the negative reviews on this bag, it does what is it designed to do and that is carry a lot of gear. Prior to this bag, I had my gear spread between two smaller bags - no fun at all trying to dig through two bags to see what is where. Now everything is in one bag.

Comments about Tamrac 614 Super Pro 14 Shoulder Bag - for 2 SLR Pro Camera Outfit with Notebook Computer (Black):
I had three bags going (a big Lowe with a Pelican hard case, a Tamrac rolling bag and a single camera Tamrac shoulder bag) and started reviewing what I could find that would help better organize essential gear. I looked at everything on the B&H site over a thirty day period. Was thinking about the Billingham 555 and even had it in my shopping cart. At the very last second ordered the 614. Wow. I have a 1D Mk IV and a 5D Mk II in the bag using the lens bridge. The 5D has a 24 -70 2.8L with lens hood attached - The Mark IV has a 50 1.4 USM with hood attached. Both hoods are in the working position. I have a 70 - 200 2.8L, a 100 Macro lens and two 580 EX II flash units and a Canon wireless flash control unit in the bag. Also have a Canon 1N HS film body along with two Black Rapid rigs, a Sekonic Flash meter, a bunch of Cokin P system graduated ND filters and polarizers, 35 mm film, A ZOOM H4N digital recorder, remote camera releases, cleaning gear and various stuff needed for photography the way we do it here.
Amazingly I can still carry the bag and it is comfortable. The gear is balanced well. The quality of workmanship is outstanding. If you need to have a lot of gear with you this is the bag to get. Just can't fit my big lighting equipment in this bag. Oh well!

I have seen some people say this bag is heavy when fully loaded. Of course it is as this is a camera bag that is meant to store a lot of gear. I have a 614 in black and will be ordering the lighter color 614 this year (2011). The 614 holds a lot of gear and is a quality built bag.

Comments about Tamrac 614 Super Pro 14 Shoulder Bag - for 2 SLR Pro Camera Outfit with Notebook Computer (Black):
I've had my Tamrac 614 for 21 years. When I first loaded it with my camera gear I thought this is great, "all my gear in one bag". Then I tried to lift the bag. A hernia maker if there ever was one. I ended up using it as my main storage for my gear to be left in the back of the car while I take what I need in a smaller bag to walk to the shooting site. If you need a large bag for taking your equipment to a wedding site then your better off with a wheeled cart type bag. I have four Tamrac bags, the youngest this 21 year old 614, and I do like them but the 614 was too big a bite to take for me.

I love this bag. I have a Pro 12 and needed a second bag I could dedicate to my lens collection. This bag is large without being huge. Plenty of room to store lots of gear with room left over. The design layout is very well thought out. Tamrac claims this bag is small enough to be carried onto an airplane as a carry on.

It's really hard to say anything negative about this bag. It is absoluately huge. It's not for the casual photographer to carry a camera and a couple lenses around in. It is for someone who either uses two camera bodies frequently or has lots of lenses and accessorioes. I own several other Tamrac bags, and they are all good, but using the Canon 7D for video, this large bag comes into play. It can carry more lenses, headphones a HDSLR mic preamp, microphone and other accessories. It is great as a main bag to store your material. I also use a smaller bag with the dividers remoced to carry the already built camera rig around in. This bag also can carry a 15" laptop in a back zipped pocket which is convienent for camera file downloads. If it were bigger, it would be too heavy (with the gear inside) to lug around, but as it is, this is a great store all bag.
