Comments about Incase Designs Corp Ari Marcopoulos Bag:
This bag is incredibly comfortable to wear, well designed and looks great. Love the Look.
Not the biggest bag, but big enough to fit a 5d(ungripped)+35L attached, 580exii and a 100L macro.
Since getting this bag about a week ago, its the only bag I've used to carry my camera in.
I will confirm, it will fit a 13" MacBook Air and another book in there as well.
One downside I find annoying, the main compartment where the camera sits isn't line with velcro, so you cant really customise the inside to fit particular lenses. there are velcro strips which means to can take out and put in dividers but you can't move them up and down the bag.

Comments about Incase Designs Corp Ari Marcopoulos Bag:
First let me start off by saying this bag is awesome. It's functional and houses pretty much all my camera equipment with the compartments. I don't have a need yet for the iPad pocket, but I end up using that for my class notebooks/papers.
It's strange, the inside appears so spacious, but the exterior doesn't seem so big. I'd recommend this for anyone looking for an everyday carry around.
Pros - Spacious internally, yet unobtrusive externally.
Cons - My only issue is that I thought the bag was going to come with a slip cover for when it rains, but I was shocked not to get one in the bag. If you purchase this and were looking forward to getting that slip, you might be disappointed.

Comments about Incase Designs Corp Ari Marcopoulos Bag:
very stylish day/gear bag for my DSLR. Love the grab handle, straps for a tripod and built in compartments for camera body, lenses, etc. and Bag is big enough to carry non-camera gear like jacket/sweater as well.
Only improvements that I can think of are:
- outside pocket for a water bottle
- more waterproof fabric for Pacific Northwest showers
- slightly darker fabric that will hide dirt in the long-run
- ability to switch the shoulder strap to other side

My search for the perfect camera bag is finally over. Having tried six bags prior to this one, it's safe to say it fits my needs perfectly. The Ari bag holds a surprising amount of gear without ever looking like a camera bag. It's incredibly well made and stylishly designed. Nothing worse than running around with an ugly black box strapped to your back.
I have mine packed with a D7000, 18-200mm attached, 35mm, large card wallet, filter wallet, large rocket air blaster, iPad or 13" MBA, wallet, keys, iPhone, and a think tank cable bag stuffed with odd & ends.The Ari bags holds all this comfortably with room to spare. The only thing I would change is adding a few more velcro pads to the inside. This would make it more flexible. I was able achieve a good configuration by flipping the dividers around, which gave me the extra inch or so I needed to get my DSLR in securely with my 18-200mm attached.
I really can't tell you enough how great this bag is. I suggest giving it a try and sending it back if it doesn't work for you. B&H has great customer service and makes the whole process effortlesss. Good luck!

I've always really loved the design of incase bags, owned backpacks and other dslr bag in the past. After getting into film I realized I needed a bag that could fit both my digital and film equipment, this does it perfectly. Big enough but not to big, inside I can keep...
D7000 with sigma 17-50 attached
Nikon F2a with 35mm f/2 attached
Sigma 8-16
iPad
Charger
Film rolls
And a handful of other small things
When I just shoot digital I replace the F2a with a telephoto zoom.
Couldn't recommend this bag more!

It looks tiny but fits every thing even my ipad 2 :D Can also fit my 7D mounted with 70-200 f2.8L.
I'd really recommend anyone looking for a small to medium DSLR bag, to buy it. But do not buy from official incase website, they got bad service and slow. B&H PHOTO is the BEST !!

Just wanted to comment out there for anyone wondering if this bag will fit a 13" macbook or similiar. The answer is yes, it will fit your camera gear and in the sleeve a macbook and a table or similiar. This was a question i had prior to purchasing and i couldnt find any definitive information or pictures. I added a pic for evidence. And yes the bag closes, but the internal pocket zipper does not.http://www.flickr.com/photos/rmanla/6311016372/

Comments about Incase Designs Corp Ari Marcopoulos Bag:
I've always been very particular about finding a camera bag. Mostly, I've used old leather travel bags just because I haven't found anything quite as useful, durable, AND with the look I wanted.
It's a perfect bag to carry-on for travel and I love that I can ride my bike, hike a mountain, or just walk around a new city and fit a ton of gear in it. I take my DSLR, Hasselblad, and a couple lenses, among other things. I can usually throw my notebook, pens, and phone in too.
This is an amazing bag that doesn't look like a camera bag and is super durable and comfortable. I highly recommend this bag!

I have been in the market for a camera bag for a very long time and finally settled on this one. If you are looking for a pro-style setup with endless storage and customizability, this is not your bag. Stick with a Lowe'. Although, if you are not into that whole tourist on safari look and want a bag that will hold all your most essential gear and look hella good doing it while your at it... THIS IS THE BAG. This bag is perfect as an everyday bag so that you are always prepared to take hold of that inspiration when it hits you randomly in the middle of your errands. So if you need an everyday stylish bag that just so happens to double as a very competent gear hauler... This is indeed the Best. Camera Bag. Ever!

This bag is good if you will be shooting on the go and need to pack the essentials. It can hold at least 2 camera bodies and lens. I like the compartments for the lens, ipad, and zip pockets for misc items. I think its a tad bulky, but overall its very very effective. I would recommend it

Comments about Incase Designs Corp Ari Marcopoulos Bag:
I originally had the ONA UNION STREET BAG but have all that weight on one shoulder was tiring. The bag starts to feel really heavy after a long trip.
The incase bag is also on one shoulder but because of the design and all the padding on the bag it make it very comfortable. Perfect size. I love the fact that i can fit my ipad2 in there as well.
I would definitely recommend this bag to anyone.
Only thing against this bag is the dividers inside. They have set strips of velco inside so you can really customize it, you are restricted to using that one spot.

Comments about Incase Designs Corp Ari Marcopoulos Bag:
The Incase Ari Marcopoulous Camera Bag doubles as my everyday messenger bag. That's how awesome it is. The design is beautiful as well as practical. Every zipper, every pocket, every detail is exactly where and what you'd want it to be. Love the overall clean simple look and shape, plus the grey colour, and its made with nice sturdy canvas material too.
The adjustable strap takes some getting used to, but it's nothing you can't sort out in a few minutes of use. I wear this bag cycling as well as subway commuting -- it stays in place and takes up little space. Easily swings around your body to access all your things and tucks back away just as effortlessly. I was worried the bag would be too big, but the size is actually perfect -- very spacious but without feeling bulky.
I am not a pro photographer by any means. I'm just a hobbyist who was looking for a nice stylish bag to house my Canon T3i, one extra lens, and some small accessories... alongside my usual everyday items. This bag fits the bill in spades. Best of all, you'd never know my DSLR was in there and that's exactly what I wanted. Neat and discrete.
The ONLY downside is the price. But if you can stomach the expense, then I say go for it. I absolutely love mine!

have had this bag for 2weeks, good design, color and size. easy access to the gear. It's good for everyday camera bag it fits my Mk2, 24-70, 20, 50, and 2 speedlites plus small accessories.

well there is some little things could be improved.
adjustable compartments, more zip pockets.
anyway I would buy this bag again everyday,

The build is fantastic. I actually bought the bag as a way to carry my 13" MacBook Air to and from work. It has lots of pockets and slots for anything i need to put in it. I'm sure it would make a great camera bag as well as it was originally intended to. It's a very versatile bag that is also stylish. No complaints here. Well worth the money IMHO.

Nice low profile sling. Fits my gripped 7D, Canon 50 1.4, 70-200 F4 IS, 430 EXII, charger, and other small accessories comfortably. Could probably stuff my Canon 17-55 2.8 in there as well but would rather not.

Perfect for everyday use. Durable material and construction just enough partitions/pockets; it actually holds it form despite heavy packing... the strap design allows the bag to fit snugly yet comfortable around your torso.

It's a great bag with just the right size for enough space for street photography gears. Most importantly it looks great for a camera bag. Build quality is awesome. The setbacks are the design of the sling which put a lot of strain on one shoulder and the compartments are hardly customizable.

Comments about Incase Designs Corp Ari Marcopoulos Bag:
This bag is beautifully constructed with tons of space for your camera and various equipment. It is however HUGE - much bigger than the photos make it appear. For a professional photographer this may be a bonus. For a casual photographer (like me) who was looking for a stylish and streamlined bag to take around on weekends and on trips, it is a bit much. That being said, the styling is gorgeous and I know it will last a long time.
