 Not very Versatile June 11, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
3 Stars for a beautiful bag. It is exactly what I wanted. However, I thought the partitians would be fully adjustable...they are not. The only interior layout this bag has is a four-part partition quadrant held in place by velcro. If you remove the partition, it's just an empty space with no partitians.
The quadrant partitian is moveable left and right from extreme side to side. However, the partitians inside the quadrant itself are not adjustable. You cannot adjust the sizes of the four partitians inside this moveable quadrant which is the only partitian system in this bag.
I could not fit my Canon EF 100-400 L IS into any of the equally sized partitians inside the quadrant. I could have moved the quadrant all the way to one side, but then the slot would have been too large for the lens and would have left no place for my Canon 30D. The fixed partitian quadrant takes up over 2/3rds of the interior of the bag.
Taking the quadrant partitian out, leaves you an empty cavity necessitating using the cases your lens came in....unless you're ok with them just rattling around in there.
If you have small, thin lenses...this might work.....but there is no customizing of the interior partitian arrangement.
If this bag had moveable, individually adjustable partitian panels, it would be wonderful. With only one non-adjusting quadrant....it was not acceptable.
A very minor point: I didn't like the clips on the front holding the top flap down, two of them, are very small. The clips need to be updated with either larger ones or the plastic type used by many bag manufacturers.....retro is nice, but a little updating is also good.
Thank you Amazon for standing behind your sales; I returned the bag.
 Great Bag March 11, 2008

This is my second F2 bag; I had the previous one (and still do) for around 20 years. The older one is now used for in-home photo accessory storage, due to wear from abuse - being dragged over boulders, through forests and the desert. I use the F2 to carry my DSLR camera, two lenses, charger, extra flash and miscellaneous filters, batteries and cords. I also carry my video camera and its accessories and everything is easily accessible. This is a great all-purpose, mid-sized bag for a small to medium sized photo outfit and there is plenty of room and pockets for everything. Great product for my needs.
ramblines from a DSLR newbie... February 10, 2008

I've got this bag 2 months back. It currently fits a Nikon d300, 17-55, 70-200, Sigma 10-20, Nikon 50mm f1.8, sb400, extra battery, couple lens filters.
Pros:
-construction. This bag is built very well. Material used seems of high quality, and the stitching is excellent. I really like the straps mechanism, as they feel very secure. The main strap also has some kind of rubbery strips on them, which helps keep the strap from sliding off your shoulder (and have your thousands of dollars come crashing on the ground)
There is also a smaller hand strap, as opposed to the main sling strap, which is very convenient for helping you precisely lift the bag and place it, which I really like)
-discreetness. This bag doesn't look like a typical photography bag, but rather just a standard sling bag. Makes me more comfortable when carrying it though airports, or places that I am not familiar with.
-comfort. This bag is very comfortable to carry, even fully loaded, for hours. Because of the canvas nature of the bag, it molds to your body (assuming you pick it right), which makes it feel more secure at your side.
Cons.
-padding. This bag does not have too much padding, (it comes with a 4 compartment padding sleeve, which i have converted to a 2+1+1 padding sleeve, to fit my 70-200 lying at an angle), and no padding at all on the top. I think the padding is adequate, but probably could be improved.
-price. Compared to other equivalent photo bags, this bag seems a little pricey.
-weather proofing. This bag does not come with a waterproof cover, though, from what I read from other review, it is pretty waterproof, however, in pouring rain, I'm pretty sure that it will drench through. (not quire sure what you would be doing in pouring rain with your equipment). This can be fixed by packing a large garbage bag with you all the time, tacky but works.
All in all, this is a very nice photographer's bag. Highly recommended.
 Roomy, Well-Built Bag January 20, 2008

This bag has plenty of room for 2 bodies and four lenses. Canvas construction helps repel water. The only problem for me is the two front pockets, fairly narrow, hard to get my big hands into. Overall, a great bag!
Awesome - don't leave home without it. July 3, 2007

I was looking for a bag that would allow me to take my camera everywhere and still let me carry what I need for work - this is it. Great quality, looks good, comfortable to carry. The velcro closure on the main compartment is good enough that I rarely use the metal clasps (which is good, because they can be fiddly.)
I carry: Camera (D70 + 18-70); 70-210 lens; Flash; batteries; filters; Loreo 3D lens; multi tool (leatherman-type thing); notepad & pens, and still have the end compartments empty.
I wish it didn't advertise the brand so prominently on each end - I may have to remove those.
