Chimera Super Pro X Plus Reviews
Uses more plastic than the older models
By Joel
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-04-22
This works as advertised, but I can't help noticing that both the white liner and the corner reinforcements are now plastic, when they used to be fabric or leather. On the other hand, the storage sleeve is vastly more substantial than the old ripstop nylon sleeves. Personally, I'd prefer a junky sleeve and a nicer bank. But, I'm happy to still have this U.S. based brand that has always provided great tools and service to photographers.
