The Compagnon WEEKENDER GEN-III is possibly the best designed and constructed leather camera bag available today. Its intelligently engineered and ruggedly constructed and should easily withstand years of heavy use. It's a quantum improvement over any of the half dozen technical nylon bags I've owned and to my eyes it looks so much better. I was able to position the internal padded dividers to provide 13 compartments. I carry two R5 bodies, two 580EX-II speedlites and four to six medium to large lenses (easily holds my EF 70-200 f/2.8 with RF adapter). The vertical depth of this bag accommodates lenses up to 11 inches long positioned face-down. Also can hold a sturdy 18.5 inch travel tripod internally. The two outer zippered pockets are about 7 X 7 inches each, and can hold objects up to two inches thick. They easily hold all the spare batteries, filters, cables, chargers, back-up drives and memory cards one would ever need, and then some. However, the available space in this bag can create the temptation to carry much more stuff than you really need for most shoots. It can also result in a bag so heavy that you would not want to carry it more than a few hundred steps. This bag weighs about 7.4 lbs empty (with shoulder strap) and it can easily carry another 25 to 35 lbs of gear. It takes some serious self-restraint to not want to include stuff that you might not use but want to have available just in case. This is a deluxe camera bag worthy of transporting the best photographic gear and it will probably outlast any of that gear, as well as its original owner if its fine leather construction is given appropriate care. Clean and wax it at least once a year and it should last for many decades. It smells nice too!
