I've seen them in person, once, and kinda liked them, but would definitely love to know more about how people feel about them. What is your favorite bag, by the way? Or is this a thread that has been stomped to death already?

It does not work well as a camera bag. I was using it for my R8. I had trouble storing the camera and three lens. The bag frustrated me to no end. For example, I would put film in the flaps, which, in a Domke, would lay flat. They didn't in this bag. I have used Domkes, Tenbas, Tamracs, and Billinghams. This bag is now sitting unused and unloved. My recommendation -- examine it in person before using it. Steven A.
