This is an absolutely superb product. When I was looking for a new bag for wedding photography I wanted something that was at least a little stylish and this fit the bill.
Not only does this bag look great, but it holds quite a bit as well. I can carry almost all of my wedding gear in one bag which is a relief on days where I don't have an assistant. In my bag I carry:
- 5Dmkii
- 5D
- 70-200 L
- 85mm f1.4
- 50mm f1.4
- 35mm f1.4 L
- 580 EX flash
- 60 GB of memory
- Zeiss cleaning kit
- Two spare batteries
- Battery charger
Note that the bodies are kept in the bag without lenses attached which allows for a little more space. One more thing to note about this bag is that it doesn't have velcro with the exception of one pocket. So, when you're digging around for gear during the wedding the guests don't hear velcro tearing.

I bought this satchel to house my new 5D mk II, a couple of lenses and my laptop, which it does perfectly. In doing so though, it is massive! The lone handle on the side is useless as it is unbalanced when the bag is full, and when carried over shoulder with the supplied strap it just looks ridiculously big (more like carrying a suitcase than a satchel bag). Saying that though, if you are looking for a good bag to safely store your gear at home/in car or to take travelling this would suit perfectly, or even to take to jobs but not carry around with you.

It's not easy finding an awesome bag that will not only carry but protect all your camera(s), lenses, memory cards, hard drives, cell phone and even your computer! I was looking for an elegant way to have my gear and my laptop in one bag and safe enough to be carry-on luggage. This bag is made of beautiful soft chocolate brown leather. It has room for two DSLR bodys w/lenses and and extra space on top of the padded area. Side and front pockets store everything else.
It seemed a bit large when I first took it out of the box but the optional shoulder strap makes carrying the bag a breeze. The soft leather conforms to your body. It even has a zippered slot for attaching to the handle of rolling luggage.
A must for the serious photographer with expensive gear that must be kept with you when you travel.
