Great bag but too small

I am a professional photographer and I debated endlessly about this bag. I wanted something that would carry my 5D, 24-70L and 70-200L with hoods.
Unfortunately this bag is way too small.
Further with the included lens hood, it is virtually impossible to pull a lens out of the bag.

Why did I give it 5 stars? While it didnt meet my needs I think it is perfectly suited for someone that owns a small dSLR such as the Canon Rebel XT/XTi series. The construction is top notch and it looks great. Just not big enough for a pro.

good canera bag

It fits my nikon D40 with 18-55VR, 55-200VR, SB-400 and
a Canon Camcorder. great buy !

A good bag, but not perfect for lenses with hoods

The bag itself is well made and padded and has enough space for me to carry my two DSLRs with telephoto lenses (30D with Sigma 70-300 DG APO and 450D with 70-200 f/4L), and an assortment of extra batteries and memory cards. However, when the DSLR/lens combo is stored with the lens pointing down and the lens hood on backwards, it's awkward and difficult to pull the camera out with one hand because the lip of reversely attached lens hood always gets caught on the velcro strip that runs about 2" below the bag top, parallel to the bag top.

The shoulder strap also isn't particularly comfortable, and the thread holding the rubberised area over the extra padding for the shoulder is already becoming to come undone (only had the bag for two months, and used it for maybe 3 outings). I'm going to go to a travel goods store and see if I can get a replacement strap.

Looks great, does the trick

I bought this bag just before a week-long trip, and it's perfect for my needs. Firstly, it doesn't look like the typical camera bag, so I feel a little more confident with it in public. Also, the tall profile, rather than the typical short-and-fat look of larger bags, makes the bag much more comfortable to carry. This bag pulls directly down on my shoulder, rather than away from my body as my larger and deeper bags tend to do, so it stays on my shoulder without trying to slip off.

I store the following list of items in the bag, and it's pretty much exactly full:
- Canon Digital Rebel (original verson) with 18-55mm kit lens attached
- Canon HF100, which is a very small SD-card based HD camcorder
- Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 non-IS. This lens fits perfectly in both height and diameter, though I didn't include the lens hood or tripod mount, which would be difficult to fit. I would imagine that the IS version (which is a good bit fatter) would have trouble fitting.
- The wide-angle attachment for the HF100, several spare batteries, plus lots of cables and extra cards in the front pocket

One tradeoff with the generally vertical design is that you may have to remove items on top to get to items buried lower in the bag. This was a little annoying at times since I kept my camcorder at the bottom and the Rebel on top (with a padded piece between them), so I had to remove the Rebel anytime I wanted to shoot video. I consider this a reasonable tradeoff, however, because the bag is so efficient and comfortable otherwise.

The bottom of the bag is padded, but I put an folded washcloth at the bottom for extra padding because I wasn't entirely confident in the built-in padding. The Velcro inserts are flexible for most purposes, and I was able to configure them to my liking without any tricks. Also, because the handle on the bag is placed at the back of the top flap (rather than at its center), you don't have to worry about the flap flying open when you pick it up if it's not properly closed. There are two additional flaps on the top of the interior (you can see them in the photo) that do a good job keeping light rain and sand out of the bag when it's closed. I recommend this bag!

NIce bag!, more then expected!

I was considering between this Tamrac express 7 and crumpler 5 or6 Million dollar bag and I ended up choosing this one since it is almost only half of the Crumpler price.
This is a stylish bag that doesn't look like camera bag, light, big storage room and lot of pockets for filters, cell phone, MP3..etc
Khaki color appears better than in the picture too.

I am able to fit
1.canon 350D with Zeiss Jena 35mm/2.4
2.580 speedlite flash
4.50mm/1.8
5 sigma 10-20mm with hood
6.canon 28-135mm/4.5~5.6 with hood

that is 1 body +4 lens + 1 flash !
this bag is way better than advertised. Highly recommended!
