I love this bag it has a lovely retro look to it and not to big, I’m able to fit two cameras and a spear lens in it (Pentax k1000, Mamiya m645 1000s) as long as you don’t have to much stuff needed to go in it it should work well.
As with other vincov products, this camera bag is of excellent quality. Way more practical and utilitarian than the “steal me” bag that came with my Nikon D5000 kit.
The styling and stitch quality is excellent, the heavy-duty fabric looks indestructible, but just in case Kattee strategically places thick leather patches in potential wear points. The padded insert will protect your gear and is easily reconfigured with the supplied pad and Velcro dividers.
The two large front snap pockets provide plenty of room for accessories, there smaller covered pockets on either end and generously sized internal zippered pouch, perfect for filters and memory cards.
I was easily able to place the camera, lens, flash, auxiliary lens, cables, etc. in the bag before stuffing all the pockets.
If you pull the insert out, you could use it as a small carry-on bag.
I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it.
I just finished my first extended day using the bag. It is big enough to carry my Fuji X-Pro2 with an attached lens and three more prime lenses. I kept my large flash, spare batteries, memory cards and other, less frequently used stuff, in the outer pockets. There is lots of additional room for when I travel and need to carry more stuff inside. I leave the top zipper open but feel it would be useful if it ever rains out here in west Texas. Access to lens was easy as I walked and kept the bag slung over my shoulder. I had a nice surprise with the “hidden” pocket inside. I thought strap could be wider or padded, but after several hours of carrying the bag, I was essentially not aware of any weight or strain on my shoulder. Finally, I think it looks as tough even my wife complemented its looks.
I am loving this messenger style bag. It is stylish and doesn’t look like a camera bag. As someone who carries around a laptop and rangefinder-like cameras, it fits my needs perfectly.
Here is what I usually carry around with me:
13″ MacBook Pro
iPad Mini (it would fit a normal iPad too)
A book or Kindle
Either a film Leica or Fuji X100T mirrorless
Various cables tucked into a zippered pouch
Bluetooth Mouse
Earbuds
A 5 port USB charge brick
A 13000 mAh Anker battery pack
A few pens and pencils
At this point it starts to get a little heavy but there’s actually enough room for more if you’re a glutton for punishment.
The Good:
It’s roomy! Use as a camera bag and/or a laptop bag. I shoot with a film Leica or a Fuji X100T mirrorless camera. If you’re using a compact camera like I do you can fit it and 13″ MacBook Pro with room to spare.
The bag is rugged and sturdy while still flexible and roomy.
The pockets are all very well placed and roomy.
The strap is well designed and can be easily adjusted.
I removed the padded insert designed for camera systems and built my own little padded pocket I can slip my camera into. You could easily use the default insert for a small to medium DSLR camera and a couple lenses – it’s just not suited to my needs.
The not so good:
1. The main flap closes with magnetized latches. It would have been better if it used snaps to discourage pickpockets. The magnet fit is a bit finicky and is too difficult to close properly. For the most part, though the flap stays latched very well.
2. The smaller external front two pockets both close with snaps and I think this would have been the better place for magnetized latches.
It seems like I’m complaining a lot here and there are certainly ways this bag could have been better but overall I am very happy with this bag. It suits my needs perfectly and I have come up with workarounds for the few shortcomings.
As a photographer friend commented, if photography is your hobby, you also have a hobby collecting bags (and probably straps too). I think this is my sixth bag and it is the closest I have come yet to being my perfect all around bag. It doesn’t have the capacity of others, but that forces me to take only what I really need. I usually end up not using the majority of the stuff in my larger bag anyway. BTW, beside being quite functional, it is very well constructed and it looks great.
