My first impression of this bag was that it is lightweight with excellent fit and finish: tough high tech fabrics, dense padding and heavy duty stitching. It weighs over a pound less than my Lowenpro Stealth Reporter 200W yet has more room. It is so organized it is almost over designed with a multitude of dividers with protective flaps, an overlying gear cradle (lens bridge) and pockets galore. Yet it is all held together with velcro so you can rearrange the interior to your heart's content. This is a serious bag for working photographers and not a murse for hipsters trying to look cool (they need a leather Ona to match with their funny hat and glasses).

THE STRAP

The strap is a pleasure to use: 2" wide nylon webbing, sturdy hardware with a well padded suede leather shoulder pad. I found the suede surprisingly grippy and stable while hanging off one shoulder. The shoulder pad is flexible and conforms to should shape well, distributing weight across shoulder and chest. The strap has 2 loops to attach small accessories, but I use them to hook my sunglasses through.

FILL IT UP

This a bag designed to stuff: room for half a dozen small to medium sized lenses and a pro sized camera with zoom attached sitting in the lens bridge (cradle-like area running length wise). Mobile photographers will find it light enough to carry for hours yet roomy enough for a full kit. The box-like design affords maximum cargo space within a stable work platform. The 606 can sit rock steady on the ground, acting like a lens bucket, and would be a challenge to kick over. Plus it makes a great lens change platform while standing.

FINAL BLURB

The 606 isn't just a lens bucket. It's riddled with thoughtful design details like a CF card wallet on a leash, ample pockets front, sides and top for your knickknacks and smooth fabric on the back to keep it from tearing up your silk shirt or tux. This is a well designed bag and build to last. Finding a USA made product on Amazon is a rare treat, so kudos to Tamrac for continuing to make products in the USA.

This is my second purchase of this bag. I would have continued to use the old one for my new camera (it was in great shape after 10 years), but I wanted to use it for the old camera so I could have a backup. I wanted one of the funky, cool new styles, but decided against them. This design is practical and gives you the ability of a 'quick grab' of something you need. Some of the others require unloading everything to get what you want. Then you need an engineering degree to get it all back! Keep making this bag!

i recently purchased a long lens and my old camera bag was just too small, so i checked on amazon and found this one. shopping for something this personal is always dicey but this fills my needs perfectly, and is light enough that when i carry it it doesn't tire me out or weigh me down. (much. those lenses are heavy.) great product, if you need a new camera bag, go for the tamracs.

This is my second one, I love them. Well made, well designed. Teeny bit too narrow for an Olympus E3 and the new 50-200 lens attached but I make it fit.
