I have a Nikon D800 + Nikkor 28-70mmf/2.8 + lens hood and they fit the Clik Elite CE704BK perfectly. This bag is ideal for travel. Have you ever had those moments on vacation where you want to take a picture but your camera is in your backpack? It takes a lot of time, work and effort to take the camera out of the bag; and when you're finally ready to take the picture, the moment is gone! Then you have to decide if you're going to place the camera back in the pack or keep it around your neck just in case there's another photo-op. But then you risk damaging your camera if you keep it around your neck. Well friends, now there's the Clik Elite! On a recent trip I had this on my chest the whole time and I never missed a shot. It takes less than two seconds to take the camera out of the bag and another two to place it back (I never capped the lens; instead I used the lens hood to protect the front element). Yes, I actually timed myself. Two seconds!
CONS:
1] Dork factor 12 when you're wearing it in public. Lets face it, its not something you'd wear to impress someone.
2] Straps on the side dig into your ribs. It would be nice if they were wider or padded, or both.
PROS:
1] Extremely convenient, as stated above
2] Well constructed, quality nylon
3] Very light, can wear this all day long without any shoulder pains

Used the pack during two two-week vacation, scrambling around Oregon coastal bluffs, wandering about Boston, off -trail wanderings through New England forests. It provides convenient accessibility to my equipment that a backpack simply can't. I keep my camera with lens on my tripod as I hike about, so the chest pack provides accessibilty to an extra lens, filters, and accessories. Being lazy, I hated to take off my back pack to change a lens, so I would "make do"with the lens on the camera. With the chest pack, swapping lenses is a snap and my various filters are quickly within reach. If necessary, the pack can be attached to my LowePro backpack with the Clik attachments, though I haven't used this configuration in the field. I suspect I could also attach the chest pack to my arctrx backpack. I've worn the chest pack for up to six hours, with short snack breaks, so its comfortable even with the narrow waist straps. I'd recommend this pack to both street and Nature shooters.Cons:
* waist straps are really above the waist. A longer back harness and wide waist straps would be an improvement.
Pros:
* comfortable over long shoots
* more manuveurable in tight spaces than a backpack.
* keeps gear accessible .

This is especially handy for winter hiking but I don't see myself using it in the summer. Easy to use. I prefer the harness than attaching it to my backpack.Well made product.
