If you're looking for an inconspicuous way to carry your camera gear, the F-800 line has your bag. They have the same gadgets and customizable camera storage systems you would expect in any other camera bag, but they hide it all behind the charming low-key style of an everyday canvas satchel. They're well made, well organized, and they look better than anything else on the market. This large size F-833, however, might be a little too big. I haven't seen the small and medium (F-831 and F-832 respectively) in person, but I can say from experience that the large (F-833) is ridiculously big. It can hold and organize a stunning amount of stuff, but it looks awkward when you put it on. The point of a messenger style bag is so you can casually walk down the street carrying thousands of dollars in camera equipment without anyone knowing. Then, if you want to take a picture you can spin the bag in front of you, whip it open and grab your camera. Because of its absurdly large size however, spinning a loaded F-833 is out of the question, and finding your camera amongst your 5 lenses, two flashes, and every other nicknack will take a decade. (Paradoxically, if you don't have the F-833 fully loaded, finding your camera isn't any easier since you'll have to search through a pile of excessive padding.) The messenger style is way better suited for carrying an afternoon's worth of shooting stuff, not your whole collection. If you need to carry the amount of stuff this bag can hold then you probably shouldnt get this bag. A backpack will handle the weight of all that equipment much more gracefully.
