I have a Leica M9 with several lenses. This bag is perfect for traveling with the M9, a couple of lenses, and accessories. It is too small to hold five or six lenses, flash, etc. But if you need a bag for a rangefinder and a couple of lenses, I highly recommend this bag. It is very well constructed and looks great.

Highly recommended.

Perfect for a Leica M9 or other rangefinder camera of similar size!!!

Tenba 637-302 Discovery Shoulder Bag Sage/Khaki Review

Tenba 637-302 Discovery Shoulder Bag Sage/Khaki
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I had read on various photographer's blogs that Tenbas were high quality bags. After purchasing this bag. I would have to agree. I loved everything about the bags build, accessability and design. But the description of the bag's size is inaccurate in my opinion. I currently have two full body size Canon DSLR cameras, two lenses, one Canon 580EX II flash head, CF card pouch, a light meter, some AA batteries and this bag is stuffed tight. I was expecting a bag that would "easily" fit two DSLR. I have a 50mm attached to one of the cameras, and the other packed without a lense attached, then I have 24mm-70mm, and an 85mm packed tightly. I really like this back and decided to keep it for when I need to pack light. But I would not use it as a my main compartment for toting my camera about.

I was looking for something to hold my camera body (Canon Rebel T3) with a zoom lens attached, at least 4 additional lens and my other accessories. This bag comes with 6 dedicated lens pockets with 2 thinner slots to hold additional items such as filters, chargers, etc.

Inside the bag:

The inner compartments are all separate velcro walls so you can move them into different layouts. Two of the walls are a little longer so you can have them reordered to suit the size of your camera /lens to really place things where ever you want. I don't have a battery grip, but I am pretty sure it would fit just fine if you had it attached to the camera. The bag is long enough and deep enough that you can put 6 or 7 lens and put two camera bodies facing each other on top of the compartments (you would have to have no lens or very short ones attached for 2 bodies). The top cover has an inner pouch in which you can store cables or a filter pouch...anything flat. The only thing is that I have an extender eyepiece so I need to put very flat items like cables so that the top of the bag doesn't push on the eyepiece.

Outside the bag Side pouches:

There are two side compartments which zipper along the top (as in from front to the back along the side with a single flap). The pouches are lightly padded so you can't put a lens there. I do wish they had put more padding there because they are perfect size to put a lens. I guess you could probably put in your own padding if you really wanted to carry additional lens. However, you can put so many things there like cables, chargers and you can temporarily put a lens there if necessary. You can fit lens hoods in them as well or anything you know isn't extremely delicate.

Outside the bag Front pouches:

There are two front zippered pouches. One opens out (2 zippers that can meet in the middle). This one has an additional zippered pouch with netting. So it is great for smaller items such as memory cards or flat items like cables, batteries or items for which there is no dedicated area. There are 2 holders for pens...although a lens pen fits extremely tightly it just isn't worth using for the lens pen (I like being able to just take my pen out quickly if I want to and wouldn't be able to do that with either pen holder). Personally I think that is a flaw, but you can put the pen in the thin pockets or in the outside side pouches or on the thin inside slots. There are 4 thin pockets that for papers, cables, and other items about the size of cellphone. There is an "if item found" card holder along with a clip (I would assume for keys).

The 2nd front pouch has 2 thin pockets again for papers, cables and cellphone sized items and one larger pouch/pocket. It is about 10" so I was hoping to fit my tablet there, but I have an Acer A500 in a carrying case which is one of the wider tablets out there. I would guess you could fit an ipad or any other tablet less than 10". Mine will fit but I can't close the zipper...again though you can fit a variety of items here.

Misc:

The strap is big and really comfortable. It is designed so the strap won't twist and it is very nicely padded. There is an additional strap to use an a handle so you can just lift it up. The part that lays against you is padded really nicely also so it feels comfortable despite being kinda big. It is also amazingly light even with my gear in it which was another big selling point for me.

The top opens out completely and opens away from you so you can grab your camera quickly.

The bottom is ok, but I wish it was a hard bottom like the case logic bags. I would have also liked to see a little more padding on the bottom just to give me that extra level of mental comfort.

It comes with a rain-cover which covers the bag completely and has snaps to hold it in place (it is not attached to the bag though).

Overall I like the bag because you can hold a lot of items, it has a good amount of internal padding and I think it is perfect for storing or transporting all your stuff with you. What I really like is that you can reconfigure the bag in different ways and store so many different items. It took me a few hours to feel comfortable with how and where I wanted to store my items, but now I feel that my items have their own dedicated spots which I really like.

I wouldn't use it as a walking around bag as it is bit obvious that it is a camera bag but if you are buying a bag that holds this much it is probably more for storing or travel anyway.

Lowepro Micro Trekker 200 Camera Backpack
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
This is an excellent small day-bag for urban and mountain photographers. I've started to use backpacks instead of shoulder bags and this is my favorite day-bag. It's compact enough to easily fit under the seat of airplanes and doesn't tempt to you to carry everything and the kitchen sink.

That being said, it can carry a *lot*. With my EOS 10D, it carries:

1. EOS 10D body with 16-35mm L attached

2. 24-70mm L lens

3. 550 EX flash (this could be used to carry another lens)

4. ST-E2 transmitter

5. 2 spare batteries

6. All my CF cards and CF card reader

7. Still lots of room for personal items (wallet, cell phone, maps, keys, sandwich) in outer pocket

With my Hasselblad system, it carries:

1. Hassie 203 FE with 80mm CFE attached and A12 back

2. 50mm CFE Distagon

3. 2 spare A-12 backs

4. Digital point and shoot as a proof camera (on site polaroid)

5. Small flash for fill flash

6. Personal items as above

In addition, you can strap a small tripod horizontally on the bottom of the pack. This is much better than the vertical strap system on my LowePro Rover AW. The vertical straps get in the way of getting into the pack (you have to remove the tripod to access the innards). The Micro Trekker's horizontal system lets you only use the tripod when you want to, and still gives full access to the pack.

The pack is small and inconspicuous. Just the thing for street photography. But some bigger men have found it too small for them. It's perfect for women and men under 5'10 or so. I found the waist strap a bit flimsy (it's more for stabilization than for carrying weight) but otherwise this pack is perfect for my needs.

Still searching for the perfect camera bag I purchased this pack for an extended day hike. I think I'm beginning to value the advice of the person who told me that you will take better photos in the field if you don't take more than one lens. But in trying them all I got this pack. It hold an enormous amount of gear. SLR body, 17-55mm Nikon f2.8 (a monster chunk of glass), 70-180mm Macro Zoom (another heavy weight) and a 300mm f4 with the body attached. Plus SB 600 flash, a macro ring flash, cleaning stuff, compact flash cards and batterys in a Tamrac case that mounts on the side. Plus there is a great outside storage area that can take lots of personal gear. It swallowed the compass, first aid kit, trail mix, matches, survival blanket and even a water bladder from a camelback pack. No problem holding the weight. I just ccould not get comfortable with the load. The side pockets also hold your cell phone or radio, a nice touch. It is also not really waterproofed, which could be a problem. Look to the AW line of Lowepro. I have an Omni Trekker that started to hurt after a few hours of hiking and I thought this pack would have more comfort. No it doesn't. The straps need a lot more padding and you can't adjust thier length. It 's not a bad pack but for me in extended hiking it started to dig into my shoulder. Also the zippers do let in a lot of crud and are not as protected as I would like them to be. I'm looking at the Tamrac and Kata bags and have sold this one on eBay after 3 hikes. I went back to my Omni Trekker as a backpack.

Best Deals for Lowepro Micro Trekker 200 Camera Backpack (Black)

I'm an amateur photographer/videographer and am quite pleased with this bags durability, storage space and comfort to wear. I can pack my D70 kit, zoom lens, a Hitachi DVD camcorder, cables, filters, disks, sun block, and snacks all inside without bulging at the seams. It's only as heavy as you fill it, so weight wasn't a problem for me.

It's not marked as an "all weather" or "water resistant" and I've never had an opportunity to test that except when I had it strapped to by back for 18 hours one sweltering weekend.

I'm 5 foot 7 and it sits nicely on my back without being cumbersome. After about 3 hours or so the straps started digging into the front of my underarm. The chest strap might have fixed this, but because of my err...womanly build, it wasn't comfortable in any position. I eventually removed it.

I've taken it everywhere, from the woods to the drag strip and so far has cleaned up with a damp cloth.

My only regret is that I didn't get one that would hold a laptop.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Micro Trekker 200 Camera Backpack (Black)

This pack is good. We just took a trip to Europe and I had no concerns about the safety of my camera and lenses. The pockets are well-padded, and easily adjusted to fit any size of camera and most lenses. It also has numerous side pockets for little gadgets spare memory card, remote shutter release, USB card reader, etc. etc.

A minor niggle is that the chest strap is too high. It feels like the bag is getting ready to strangle me. But I find the bag very comfortable and secure to wear without this strap anyway, so I just leave it undone.

The only thing I really dislike about this bag is the straps that hold on the tripod. They're fiddly to operate, take far too much time to tie the tripod, and are prone to slip loose. I would have much preferred some sort of rubber-backed velcro arrangement. A real design flaw on an otherwise excellent bag, this earns it 4 stars instead of 5.

I bought this backpack with the idea of getting "everything" in one small, compact design. Actually, the interior design is quite good and accomodated my Canon 5D with telephoto quite well. Lowepro makes good packs, there is no doubt. However, if you happen to be a medium to larger size person, the micro trekker 200 may be a bit small. I did feel it immediately acrosss my chest, even after adjusting straps, etc. I just could not imagine taking this backpack on a hiking trip. Lowepro makes also a mini version, but compared the size chart and was not convinced it would be much different. I have ordered a Tamrac Adventure 7 Model 5547 (not yet received), which is probably more what I need, and priced very similar to these smaller-size Lowepro's.

This is a great little camera case! It's the perfect size for my Nikon S220 digital camera. The satin microfiber lining is a perfect match for my plum color camera. It is sturdy and protective, such a nice quality leather case that it can double as a wristlet for a night out with the girls. I can slip a credit card and some cash in it and go. A while ago I had my camera stolen and it was in this case. It took me a while to find another one but I was so pleased with it that another brand would not do. Well, I found it and I am happy again. I always get compliments on my pink leather camera case and people ask where I bought it because it is so different from most of the nylon and soft leather cases in regular stores.

If your camera will fit inside, I definitely recommend it!

I own five filters, this case holds five filters. It is not just the number of slots that is important, it is how they are stored in the case that is what needs mentioning. Filter "wallets" allow the transfer of their materials sudch as mesh or plastic onto the expensive coatings of your expensive filters. This pouch has individual padded pockets like those found in a quality camera bag. Filter glass never touches anything damaging.

Build quality of this pouch is great...it will last for many years. It is constructed of sturdy cordura with a secure velcro strap on front. The rear has velcro mounting straps for many popular camera bag/case systems as well as your belt.

When I got tired of tossing filters in and out of their cases, I found this filters holder bag. It is a solution if you want to organize your filters but it isn't if you would plan to keep this filter case in your camera bag.

The fabric of the bag looks firm but flexible and not strong to hold a hit. So, don't lean against anything with this bag full of filters, if you planing to wear this bag on your belt, you may brake the precious glass.

The bag dimensions: W 110mm, H 110mm, L 75mm. With usual Pseries filter size 83x95mm or 83x110mm the height and length seems to be Ok but the bag is too thick. I could put 5 filters with their cases in it and close it.

The good side of vast space inside of the bag is that you can pick a filter without additional affords, and as a result, without leaving smudges. The dividers inside this case are soft but not covered with soft cleaning cloth-like fabric. In fact, in my opinion, the fabric they used like whether proof one. It did not scratch my filters yet but it feels like it could. There are horizontal and vertical brand fasteners on the back of this filter bag. So you can wear it on your belt or camera bag strap.

It solved my problem of fast access to filters, when I need, but it could be more compact and more protective, at least, on its front and back sides. I guess, it's right for the price.

Best Deals for Adorama Slinger Filter Pouch "P" Holds Five 86mm Round or Five "P"

I was tired of carrying around those plastic cases for each of my spare filters. This little pouch is just what I needed. I can remove one filter, slip it into an empty slot and pull out the one I need. No more fumbling with lids and bottoms of the plastic cases, asking my kids to hold one filter while I attach the other and "Please don't put your greasy fingers all over the middle of that $200 circular polarizer!"

The construction seems good, adequately padded--which is a slight downside that you have to accept as a trade off, it's a bit bulky considering the size filter it will handle.

I would also wish for a secure way to attach this to the outside of my camera bag and I'm not sure the little belt loop is quite up to that task.

Honest reviews on Adorama Slinger Filter Pouch "P" Holds Five 86mm Round or Five "P"

I have been searching for some time for a neat way of carrying my filters in their OEM cases. I know many are content to slip their filters into these sleeve wallet things and leave it at that. I only buy pro grade lenses and , consequently, I only buy top of the line filters. Since my most used lens has an 82mm filter size, this is big money we're talking about. I have a B+W 82mm XS-Pro Kaeseman CPL that costs over $250! I'm not sliding that thing against anything!

Anyway. I took a razor blade and removed the padded separators from the Slinger, so now it will hold four 82mm filters in their cases. I don't care that there is an opening at the top of the case where dirt, sand, etc can get in, because my filters are in their nice, soft, water & impact resistant plastic cocoons. Nuff said...

Review of Canon PSC-1000 Deluxe Grey Leather Case for the Canon SD1000

First off, I'd like to point out that Amazon's description of this product is totally incorrect. This case only holds the camera and does not hold any accessories. For example, I don't see why it says that it holds a compact flash card when the Canon SD1000 uses SD cards. Well, the truth is that the case holds neither. Having said that, this is actually a pretty decent leather case for this particular camera. Here are the pros and cons:

Pros:

-Fits nice and snug... since it was designed specifically for SD1000.

-Leather is of high quality with 2 colors to choose from. Black and Burgundy.

-Magnetic closure and canon emblem is nice and practical.

-Semi-hard front and back that provides protection for camera.

Cons:

-Case does make camera significantly thicker and less pocket-able

-Slit for wrist strap is too small.

-The Burgundy one looks more 'Red' than the photos of it illustrate.

-relatively expensive for few features.

Conclusion: Even though there is room for some improvements in design, this case is of a high quality and should provide good protection for your camera if you just need a nice, simple case. However because of it's simplicity and price, I think that Canon should have just included along with the camera instead of selling it separately.

I have never responded to a product review before but I was so disappointed with this product, I felt compelled to share. I'm a pure Canon fan and always buy Canon accessories to compliment my choices. However, I don't know what Canon was thinking with this case. It in no way fits the new SD1100 IS. Not only do you have to stuff the camera in the case, you can hardly get it back out if you are lucky enough to force it in. On top of that, there's no way the magnetic latch even gets close to securing itself if the camera is in the case. And forget about the slot for the wrist strap. Yes, you can manage the strap thru the slot OK, but no way convenient to remove the camera from the case once the strap is thru the slot. This case just does not work and I'm extremely disappointed. I have not even touched on the quality. Pure chintz.

I also own an old ELPH APS from days gone by. I stuffed that in the case to help stretch it. It seems to have helped and I can now at least get the SD1100 in the case but of course, I still can't close the flap. What I ultimately ended up doing was resurrecting my old quality soft leather velcro closure original ELPH APS case and will use that to protect my new SD1100 IS. Sorry Canon, but you really missed the boat on this one.

Best Deals for Canon PSC-1000 Deluxe Grey Leather Case for the Canon SD1000

The product description states "This case carries the camera, battery pack, Compact Flash card and wireless controller." yet there is only space for the camera in the case. I suppose since there is a battery pack inside the camera along with a memory card it carries them too, but don't expect to fit anything else inside this case only the camera.

Honest reviews on Canon PSC-1000 Deluxe Grey Leather Case for the Canon SD1000

I own a Canon SD1000 camera, a SD300 camera, a PSC-1000 case and a PSC-55 case. Let me tell you the differences between the two cases so that you can hopefully make a good decision as to which to buy. If you do purchase or own the PSC-1000 case, I'll tell you how to enlarge the strap hole in professional-looking way.

The SD1000 camera fits well in either case. The SD300 camera fits well in the PSC-55 case and while the PSC-1000 case could work, the fit seems a bit too snug. The PSC-55 case seems to have a much stronger magnet that will keep the flap shut. Conversely, the PSC-1000's magnet is weak and it has difficulty holding the flap closed. Once the case breaks in a bit, perhaps the magnet will be just fine in the PSC-1000 case, but it's clear that the PSC-55's magnet is stronger.

As previously mentioned, for some strange reason, the slot where you thread the strap through the top of the PSC-1000 case is really small, as of this writing. Unless Canon modifies the design, which they definitely should, then you're going to need to modify it yourself. Practically speaking, it is not really usable as presented unless you want to monkey with threading the strap through a tiny opening each time that you use the camera or put it away.

Obviously, there are many times where you'll want to get the camera out quickly to grab a shot and you can't do that without modifying the opening. Imagine the horror when the UFO lands in front of you, you have your trusty Canon camera, but you can't get the photo because the camera is stuck in the case!

If you have a Dremel tool, or know someone who does, you can do a 2 minute fix that looks professional. I used the small, cone-shaped, stone-like grinding attachment and I was able to widen the opening quite a bit but you wouldn't know it hadn't come that way from the factory. You could also cut the hole to make it look larger, but that's going to make things look sloppy. Conversely, the PSC-55's hole is plenty wide and no modification is necessary.

The bottom line is that this case is decent, but I'd recommend the PSC-55 for just about any camera that will fit it, including the SD1000.

When I received this case the package stated that it was compatible with the SD1100 IS. However, it is a very tight fit, and then the magnetic clasp would not hold. Plus the case will definitely not close with the wrist strap attached to the camera. This renders it useless. I returned the item.

The wrap consists of velcro triangles on the underside with a soft fabric on the outside that "sticks" to the velcro pads.

I use the small wrap for a portable 2.5" hard drive AND cable. The drive is larger than most and measures 5.1 x 3.3 x 0.8 inches. Consequently none of the purpose-built cases will fit this drive, or at least not fit is snugly. When using the wrap, I fold the two sides and bottom of the wrap on the drive "diaper-style" creating a pouch of sorts. I then stuff the cable in the open side of the wrap, then fold it over as well.

The whole thing then fits into my netbook's carry case.

Holy smokes. If a friend had handed me his camera in this case and asked, "What do you think the case cost?" I would have replied, " I dunno, a buck fifty?" If you had shown me this case and told me it cost $150.00 I wouldn't have batted an eye. The quality of the material, the lining, the hardware, the fit, the craftsmanship, the design... it all screams quality. As an old geezer I LOVE the retro look that my state of the art G-15 is packed in. Takes me back to the 50's and 60's. Which you Gen-whatevers should embrace as cool... 'cause it is.

I am amazed, amazed that I paid just 35 bucks for this case. One reviewer complained about the awkwardness of the case dangling from the bottom snap. Well, that is awkward. And it bugged me at first. But I unintentionally unsnapped one side snap and the bottom snap, leaving the case to hang from the other side snap and this proved to be a very manageable arrangement, freeing you from having to pull the front cover off completely and stuff it under your arm or in your cargo pants or whatever while you shoot.

Back in the day we used to call Ever Ready Cases, "Never ready cases". But this guy is ready to go in a snap. And with the fast start up of the G-15 is a winner. Luv it.

I am so glad I saw this case as a recommended accessory for the G15, which I bought my wife for Christmas. It is a classy looking case, very well made, 'real leather' look (see update comment), and a good design. I know there are others who criticize the design, saying it is impractical. The case has 3 snaps which secure the case to the camera, plus a knurled tripod nut mount that screws the case onto the camera. So if all the snaps are open, the flip-lid of the case can be removed, leaving a leather case protecting the sides and bottom surfaces of the G15. If you are using the camera at home, you may want to remove the flip lid while using the camera. However, the snaps are designed to allow you to use the case with the flip lid attached. You unsnap the bottom snap and flip the lid back toward you and push it down. The two side snaps act like hinges, letting you rotate the lid back over the camera. You now have access to the entire LCD and rear control buttons....ALL of the controls are accessible. The new case is stiff, and needs some flexing to keep the flip lid out of the way so it doesn't hit your chin while shooting. Others have suggested unsnapping one of the side snaps to swing the flip lid out of the way. This works too, but I would hate to lose the lid, hanging by just one snap. The strap matches the color of the case and is adjustable. It may be made of 'pleather', but it is very flexible and easy to store in a purse or large pocket.

The only negative about the design, is that you must unscrew the tripod nut on the bottom of the case to access the G15 battery and memory card. You can minimize this inconvenience by only screwing the nut 3-4 turns, so that it removes more quickly. And yes, there is no place to store a spare battery or memory card. It would be nice to have a small pouch that would fit on the strap to carry some of these items.

Update 12/30/2012: I just re-read the description for this case and the mftr states that the case is made of 'PU Leather'. According to Wikipedia, PU leather "is a man-made material made with a split leather backing covered with a layer of polyurethane that is applied to the surface and then embossed." So, this case is not made of 100% leather, as you would swear by looking at it. So, I have modified the term 'real leather' in my original review.

Very nicely made, works fine and provides great protection for the camera. Worth every penny. Recommended if this is the type of hard case you want.

After having this for a couple months, I find this case to be best for storage such as in a safe or during transport. The top cover gets in the way and is awkward to use while shooting photos, I remove the 3 snap cover and set it aside until I'm finished shooting.

The build quality and materials along with the clasic look is great but I will be looking for something that works better in the field.

This review doesn't have to be long. I love this case. The exterior is rugged and attractive and the interior is soft and protective. It has a little padding for the screen and comes with a matching strap that replaces the Canon one that came with your camera. The only downside is that its not very convenient. Removing the top takes a beat longer than pulling your camera out of a zipper case, and you have to remove the bottom to access the battery and SD card. It's a fair trade-off for a stylish and very well made case.

The case looks nice, and the price is reasonable. But it is so compact that can only fit my nikon D70s body. I would not suggest anyone to buy this case

My canon T1i with 18-200 lense fits perfect in it, but thats it, no room to put another lense. It's okay if you just want to carry one lense.

This case protects the Canon 300 very well. And it looks good, compact and does not take much space at all. The inside protects the screen of the camera and therefore scratch resistant. There is a mesh pocket where you can insert a memory card. Works for us!

Very cool case! Its hard enough to withstand a beating and looks like something HR Geiger might keep his point-and-click in!

Nice little web pocket inside where you can keep battery packs or spare memory cards.

Very good product I'll buy another one if this every wears out which I don't think it will!

This is a wonderful bag to hold my Nikon P520. I have all the cords,straps and covers tucked nicely away in here. The only reason why it is getting 4 stars is because there was a nic in one of the stichings below the handle. I don't see that being a problem for a couple of years because I take care of my belongings. Not worth sending back since I can't physically pick out another one so I'll just keep this bag.

Wasn't to excited about paying almost $8 in shipping but my bag got here very quickly! Overyall......very happy.
