The great: This holds my Nikon D5, three lenses, flash, tripod and other accessories with no problem. I can squeeze (barely) my 17” Probook in the laptop sleeve but it is a VERY tight fit and takes just a little work to get it back out. Not enough of a negative to lose any stars. Loaded up it is very comfortable and easy to carry even for extended periods of time. There are many zippered compartments for just about anything you need to pack. The camera with attached lens can be quickly accessed to get that quick shot. There is a hard cover compartment that offers good protection.The quirky: so far I’m not a huge fan of the bottom half of the pack. It is a removable “box” that will work like a fanny pack on its own. I find that to be kind of unusable space and would prefer the ability to store larger lenses in the main pack, especially if I’m doing a sports shoot. That being said, with proper, well thought out lens selection, the bottom portion is not really necessary and the pack could be smaller as a result. I haven’t yet tried to use just the bottom portion on its own, although I do have another camera body and lenses to test it out. It may be a great place for the second body. Again not enough to lose a star, I just need to figure out the best way to utilize the space.I would recommend this pack, although pros will only bring what they need and this, in many cases, will be too much.
