Impeccable storage space, but...
beautiful camera bag that really offers everything you need in terms of storage space and strength. It's the same size as my old bag and I can still fit an extra lens in it. At first I was a bit confused as none of the partitions come pre-installed, so you have to imagine how to arrange them yourself to get optimal storage space and for that I used the photos on the product sheet. The walls are quite stiff compared to my other bag and that's good because the camera and lenses don't slip around too much even after a long walk. In terms of ergonomics and solidity there is really nothing to say and as far as I am concerned it is impeccable! It is designed to secure equipment. Access to the lenses is on the back of the bag and the side opening facing the camera has a double zipper, making it a little more difficult for pickpockets to open the bag, especially in the Paris metro where there is often tight space is together. (Small locks on the locks wouldn't have been a solution anyway.) There are plenty of storage compartments, and whether it's memory cards, ND, UV, polarizing, Black Pro Mist or other filters, everything fits! I can even fit my medium-sized XP Pen graphics tablet and my 15.5-inch laptop there. (see photos) And why not a sling in the upper case and a wallet... The rain cover is also really well thought out. It holds up very well, fits the bag well and doesn't ruin the look at all. I would even say it provides extra security as it covers all the zippers. Still, this bag isn't perfect, and as soon as I put it on my shoulders, I immediately felt discomfort in my lower back. In fact it has a balancing problem as the top of the straps are not sewn to the very top of the bag but about 5cm lower. This creates leverage that balances all the weight in my lower back and I, being fragile at this level, is not comfortable. To avoid this discomfort, I loosen the straps as much as possible so that the bottom of the bag presses on the buttocks rather than the back. It still feels better without completely solving the problem. In short, this bag is almost perfect for me! A V2 with straps sewn to the top would be really welcome to solve this balancing issue.
