Review of Tenba Black Label Shoulder Bag Large

Customer Ratings:

Ok, so here's the deal. I've been a professional wedding/event photographer for about 15 years. I've gone through quite a few bags. This Tenba simply fits the bill for me in every way. Now, much of this is based on my line of work, my body type and my overall needs while on the job. I don't want to get too verbose on here, so lets go trhu this review.....in LIST form!

1. Looks: CHECK It's black, it's tough looking, it's not too over the top in style as to draw attention to it, but retains it's "professional" asthetic.

2. Feel: CHECK So this can be subjective according to your body type. I'm 6'-2", broad shoulders and weigh 210 lbs......okay, 211. I needed a bag that lays on my hip properly while hanging on my shoulder as well as proper weight distribution as to not cause shoulder/back/neck strain. Well, this thing is a wonder because even when filled to capacity it actually feels lighter than it looks. That really helps on a long day of shooting 6-12 hours. Everything is highly accessible even while it's on your shoulder.

3. Function: CHECK As with other bags you can customize the interior using the modular padded walls with velcro attached. This also goes a step further by providing you with proper cutouts to fit your lenses just right. The padding throughout the bag is more than perfect and almost overboard, but doesn't get in the way. Lets just say you never feel like ANY of your equipment is in any danger of being damaged. LOTS of pockets, pouches, HEAVY duty zippers and clips nicely round out the bag. There was a lot of attention spent on this bag. The double padded shoulder strap which is sort of like........a seatbelt with a molded/formed tough pad for your shoulder. The pad is curved in a way that prevents it rubbing against your neck. It's like Apple's attention to detail. It's really that good.

4. Application: CHECK Two camera bodies (Nikon D-300), one with a lens (Nikkor VR 18-200) attached in the upper compartment ready for you as soon as you open the top, two additional lenses, two flash guns and additional accessories in the inner-sub compartments, batteries in the outer side pocket (second outer pocket is reserved for used batteries throughout my day, double interior heavy duty pocket on the inside of the top flap holding a lot of incidental items, outer front compartment that containts three inner compartments for CF cards and additional compartments for more accessories....on and on and on. There's more but I'm tired of typing.

The long and short of this is that it holds everything that a pro-wedding/event photog needs with room for more and provides a level of comfort, functionality and security that many other bags just don't provide. The price tag is more than worth it in my estimation. I expect that this bag will last me a very long time 5-10 years and beyond. The materials used on this a very high quality and very heavy duty. There's no fussing about when you need that flash or lens or more batteries or cards or whatever. It's all there when you need it.

I know, I'm gushing about it. But when I find a product I like and has a great quality to price ratio, I like to scream about it because there are a lot of companies that promise, but very few that deliver.

If you're on the fence about it, don't be. Go and get it.

This is a nice bag.

I managed to put my Canon 5D with Battery pack with Manfroto large tripod head Quick release attached, A Canon F2.8 24-70 lens with shade inside the Canon bag, a Canon F2.8 IS 70-200 lens with Manfroto Large Quick Release attached, Bag and sun shade (which were stored separately in the compartment), a 2X extender in Canon bag, A Canon 580 EX II Flash (in Canon bag) a small canister (a pill Vile), with 8 AA batteries , a Remote switch which is in the original box and a Giotto Blower All in the main Compartment. The Main compartment is FULL!!! Don't expect to get anything more in it with the equipment I have mentioned. The bag could hold more lenses as long as they are smaller and, lenses such as I've mentioned aren't used. I can keep my 70-200 lens attached to my camera as long as I don't use the sunshade. There are other numerous compartments to hold many other items. the two end compartments have foam around the insides to help protect fragile items from the sides but Nothing but the Nylon on the bottom so, I'd get some small pieces of foam to place at the bottom of the side pouches. The Side pouches are fairly large and could easily hold a small lens such as a 50mm or a couple of other Flashes. The Shoulder strap is very nicely padded. It has Rubber skids on bottom of the bag. I like the attention to detail in this bag. I was hoping it would be a bit larger but, its very nice as it is. There are Larger Shoulder Bags out there for less money But, I'm happy with my purchase.

I hope this helps you.

Best Deals for Tenba Black Label Shoulder Bag Large

This camera bag holds more than enough gear -DSLR body, several lenses, flash, cables, charger, filters and memory cards in its two layers of storage and many pockets. It is great for keeping the entire camera system in one place and moving it to a new location. As a field bag, its ability to carry the kitchen sink and a spare engine block (hyperbole) make it a bit heavy for the single shoulder strap (truth), but it is not sold as a field pack. For serious expeditions it can carry the whole kit; leave it at base camp and transfer items needed for immediate use to a back pack or other more portable case. A serious lensman can never have too many bags.

Honest reviews on Tenba Black Label Shoulder Bag Large

This is a great bag. It has some features I have been looking for for example, there is a padded insert that the camera body sits on securely. Velcro is fixed to this so it is easy to store a less frequently used item (such as a battery charger) under the camera body. Padding and the zips and clips are all first class. I bought this from Amazon warehouse deals and the bag is in perfect condition. Well done Amazon and Tenba.
