Perfect for d800+24-70+ flash

I purchased this messenger bag to carry my new Nikon D3100, 2 lenses, SB400 flash and multiple small accessories. The bag came smaller than expected, but definitely fits all of the necessities. It will be great to travel with for work as it will fit inside a larger carry on. I would recommend this bag for anyone using a smaller DSLR with limited lenses, or a pro photographer on a day shoot, which doesn't include carrying large lenses. Great overall product.

Perfect for a day out when you want to keep your camera handy and don't want to take everything with you. Well padded to keep your equipment well protected and waterproof too. It could do with being just a little bigger with one or two extra pockets but on the whole pretty much what I was looking for. Easily packs down into a suitcase when not being used for transporting equipment.

Love this bag. Great padding and compact style. Can't hold more than two lenses and body, but great for quick outings with the family. Perfect for what I purchased it for. If/when I get more serious, then a biggest bag would be necessary. Just getting started in the DSLR world and this fits the bill perfectly.

I use this product to carry my camera with the lens on it as well as an extra lens. I also carry an extra battery and extra memory cards. The bag looks sleek and is good quality. It is slightly bulky but I guess that should be expected if I want it to hold all this stuff, but it is good quality.

Great bag with a great price, but it's a bit small if you plan to carry a decent amount of gear. It's build well and looks great, but not bring able to fit a 15" MacBook Pro in it is an issue. Without the computer, I still found trouble fitting my 5d and grip with a 35mm 1.4 attached, a flash, a 50mm 1.4 and an 85 1.2 in it.

All in all, great for small amounts of gear and easy access to gear inside, just don't plan on putting anything extra in it.

I love this bag. I'm on the go with my camera and this is a great tool. The easy of getting into it is great. Plenty of protection around the camera, holds my camera and a few extra batteries and 1 extra lense. Plenty of extra space for keys, wallet, cell phone or ipod.

This bag is really useful for all freshmen in the Dslr world .... with its compact shape and many pockets you can hardly notice that it is a camera bag ....

Small yet room enough for the essentials. Comfortable and very easy access to all the bits and pieces. And compared to the majority of all other bags it just looks good and doesn't look out of place and brand you as a photographer.

For a very beginner taking small photography trips this bag is fine. Anything other than that and you might as well spend a little more money and get a better bigger bag. For the price and what the bag is designed for it is worth the purchase. Overall I would just start with a bigger better bag.

Nice and easy to reach on side.

I use this product to fit my d700 camera body, one or two lenses, and a flash. It is not going to fit much more than that, but still useful for informal shooting. Very comfortable and easy to walk around with. The black outside makes it discreet, but the best part is the red lining. That feature is genius when shooting at night-you can see what's on the inside a lot better than if it were black.

A bit like a diaper bag: carries everything I'll need for the day plus a few personal items but is a bit bulky. I use it as my photography purse to carry body, 2-3 lenses, battery charger plus spare glasses and wallet. The messenger bag style is very convenient, easy to remove camera, isn't obviously a camera bag, but is not a small bag.

I wanted a camera bag that did not look like a lunch box and that would stay close to the body for a comfortable fit. I needed a bag for a ASP-C body with one or two lenses. It is perfect. I can fit in my Canon 60D with a Tokina 11-16 on, and there is place for another lens like a kit lens 18-135 or Tamron 17-50. You could also fit the body with a 70-200 f4 on, but no other lens. OR, if you would like to carry 70-200 f4, a 17-50 and your body, you would have to do this separately. It has some small pockets to carry on filters, and basic supply to clean your gear. The small pocket on the side of the bag is very useful to hold your lens cap while shooting. I have this tendency to loose these caps!

It is not that easy to access your equipment since the only way to get to your gear is by opening the whole bag with the flap. The padding is good, but will not protect your equipment as much as other bag would do. But these other bags look like tool boxes!

It is a small bag. But I use it to travel and it is exactly what I was looking for. I think it is more subtle to carry this kind of bag when travelling around the world. You will not be able to fit all your gear, but you will be undercover! It is a walk around light bag.

I wish they would find another way to close the bag and still keep the look with the flap. You can hardly manage to clip the flap with only one hand, which would be great since this bag is used when you have a camera in your other hand!

I bought this bag to hold extra lenses while shooting weddings and lifestyle portrait sessions. It is the perfect bag for those shoots. I keep my canon 135 2.0, canon 50 1.4 and tokina 11-16 2.8 lenses in this bag. It works great and is affordable as well

Fun to carry around, looks great, and durable. I like how its black outside and red inside (my 2 favorite color). I just love it.

I'm from a remote part of Alaska. I wasn't really sure what kind of camera bag I was ordering, but I thought it would be appropriate for my use while out in the field. I saw only one picture from one angle. When I did receive it, it looked more like a purse than a camera bag. So far, I have a DSLR (Nikon 300s), two lenses. I'm hoping to purchase a few more lenses and accessories and it didn't fit my growing needs. It would be okay for just bringing a camera, with attached lens and one medium size lens.

This is a new arrival and after seeing it in one of BH e-mail newsletters I knew I had to have it. I've looked everywhere for it, but BH was the only ones who actually carried it. This bag is well constructed and is of good quality. I was looking for a bag that was more street friendly and didn't say "look at me with my $3,000 camera". With that said, that's how I came to desire this bag after many years and many bags later. The down side to this bag though is the size of it. When the sales person brought me the bag I actually said to him "you have the wrong bag", boy did I feel like a jerk when he told me it was the right bag. The bag is really small, if it was twice the size it would be the best bag ever! In the end I still made the purchase and wanted to give it a try anyways. It's a good bag, just a little feminine for me sometimes. As a guy who doesn't just own a lot of photo bags, but bags in general, this isn't the kind that screams of manliness. It is borderline man-purse, and I think my girlfriend has bags bigger than this. I'm not looking for a Mary Poppins, Hermione Granger, pull out all kinds of gadgets kind of bag but you will be surprised by this bag. In conclusion, I would still recommend this bag. It is a solid bag for average walking around, concealed, single-lens and body carry.
