Comments about Tenba Messenger Camera Bag (Burnt Orange):
This is the perfect bag for me. I searched reviews for months and knew just what a wanted and when I came across this bag, that was it!
I currently have in it...
Canon Rebel XSi Body
Canon 60d w/ 24-70L attached
Canon Speedlight 430
Canon 18-55mm Kit Lens
Canon 50mm f/1.8
Sigma 70-300 Zoom Lens
Battery Charger for 60d
That's all inside the main compartment which is heavily padded. In the outer pockets, I have lots of random stuff. The outside side pockets are huge. In one, I keep all my camera guides/books, cords, adapters, etc. In the other I keep batteries and misc. stuff. In the front pocket on the flap, I have memory cards, white balance card, pens, paper, etc.
Overall, this bag is wonderful. I love all the pockets and storage space. I am so happy I bought this bag!

Comments about Tenba Messenger Camera Bag (Burnt Orange):
I carry this bag daily with a DSLR 2 lenses, charger. After arranging the velcro seperators to fit my kit I find this bag very useful and easy to access. It does not look like a camera bag and the top zipper makes accessing your gear easy without drawing unwanted attention. There are enough pockets to store most anything you need for the day or location. My one complaint is the depth of the zippered pockets. Unless your item is very thin then the pockets are bulky and won't zip properly. Good overall bag very comfortable for an all day walkabout.

Comments about Tenba Messenger Camera Bag (Burnt Orange):
This camera bag is everything that I wanted. Lots of pockets, room for an extra camera body if I need it. I don't have to pick and choose what to take with me because I won't have room, EVERYTHING FITS!!! I used it on a recent trip to NYC and it was comfortable to have with me all day. I also take it hiking in the mountains. I have two small kids, so keeping my camera out the entire hike is not going to happen, but it allows easy access so when a photo opportunity presents itself I can always get to my camera.

Comments about Tenba Messenger Camera Bag (Burnt Orange):
First i want to say that the bag itself is very nice and was exactly what I wanted and expected with very minor issues. First was that when you have weight in the bag it pulls the ends in toward each other and this causes the top cover to sometimes leave openings and dust and other debris can find its way into your bag. It would be great if it had some type of support around the top to help keep it in shape or at least have some extra material on the top cover to prevent this. The zipper top was not a bother to me even though it does require 2 hands to open. I would much prefer it to have small magnets to hold it together. I give the bag itself 5 Stars, the strap is strong and tough but these are some issues with the aggressive grip padding. It is great I believe for winter wearing but for summer it is a little rough on your neck if it hits bare skin or through a thin shirt. It needs the cordura to wrap more around the edges to protect you from this. Then it would be very nice because it does stay in place and it is padded nicely. The biggest issue and the one of the reasons I did not give it % stars is that the squared off D-ring is matched with round shaped snaps and they work against each other and seem to be trying to destroy each other when in use. You can see from the pictures. I used this back for a total of 12 days from buying new and you can see the results. [...]

Only improvements I would suggest are: 1st a wider top cover to protect contents from rain; #2 a more padded handle for those not wanting to use the shoulder strap to carry the bag.

Very good bag overall. Good design. Two short comings: Side pockets and interior zippered compartment shoud be expanpable and top zippered access flap should have padding.
