Comments about Kata DW-493 Waist Pack:
This bag really protect my D90. It have space for my D7000 with a 18-105mm Nikkor lens, SB-600 on a side space, batteries, SD cards and another lens. The best part, it have a adjustable waist strap. No more back pack for me on vacations or to help another photographer.
Very good padded, light weight and the right space for travel.

Comments about Kata DW-493 Waist Pack:
I bought this bag for my Nikon D5100 with standard 18-55mm lens. This bag can also hold charger, a filter and an extra 35mm lens in side pocket.
It might look little big on waist, but it's not-to-small, not-to-big size....just perfect.

Comments about Kata DW-493 Waist Pack:
An excellent camera bag that is durable and versatile. I just finished hiking with this pack and it does everything I need. It is well thought out in design and perfect for carrying my Canon T2i and two lenses. The main pouch is large enough to handle the camera with my 55-250 lens attached. I can use one side pouch for my second lens and the other to carry a water bottle.
The case has both a waist strap and a shoulder strap. Perfect for hiking or urban trekking. One of my favorite features is that the main compartment opens out from my body so that the top flap doesn't get in the way when I'm retrieving the camera. Brilliant.

Comments about Kata DW-493 Waist Pack:
i like kata brand for the design. this waist pack though is too small for my t2i with 18-135mm lens. it fits there horizontally, however i needed to remove all pads and i need to use a bit of strength to be able to get it out. i have chosen 493 size just because 495 was too bulky for me (i am 5'6" and 55kg), but now i am regretting it. i think this waist pack would suit better semi-pro point and shoot cameras, than slr. the strap could be less scratchy and i would prefer it would even need a rain cover - just by using different material.

Comments about Kata DW-493 Waist Pack:
For me, it was a great replacement to a larger and more bulky waist pack. Uses space well and the side pockets are large enough to hold my 17-35 2.8 (with out the shade).
