Revainrating 4 out of 5

The first impression is good, more storage space is needed

This review relates to the green version. I just got this so of course these are my first impressions but I'll update as I use them. As I photograph more and more, I'm always on the lookout for new bags that will grow with me. I usually use "traditional" camera bags, this is my first backpack style bag. The bag features a wide-open compartment for the main camera. This seems to give you a lot of flexibility, but the included dividers only come in two sizes: small and 2/3 the length of the bag, which limits you to the traditional three-column grid most bags use. too small to support conventional longer lenses. My Nikon 18-140 at 97mm fits comfortably, my 24-120 x 100mm spec (127mm with caps) goes to the top of the dividers and my Sigma 105 at 127mm (145mm with caps) is too big. So my two lenses (105mm and 70-300) have to be in my bag and take up valuable space. There are two laptop/tablet pockets; None of these fit my 15" UltraBook. I would venture to guess that 13" is the largest size that will surely fit. The attached image shows a case containing (clockwise from left) a Nikon D750 with a 24-120 VR -Lens includes, Nikon 70-300, Nikon 50mm.(with room for another small lens on top), Sigma 105, Altura flash, Sigma 17-35, Nikon D7200 body and Nikon 85mm in the center.This layout left me with a small divider that went unused. Most other bags never have enough dividers, but this bag does. There is a tripod strap on one side, with a hidden pull-out pocket on the bottom for longer tripods (look out on it when it's attached with velcro it's almost invisible) and a huge front pocket with a couple of small inner pockets and inner pockets (but see my update below). The construction feels very solid. My previous Filemate case huh Keeps more lenses upright, but every time I open and pick them up I'm afraid something will break. Everything about this bag feels very durable, reliable, well tailored and well padded. belts are wide; I'm a tall guy and had no trouble adjusting the shoulder, chest and waist straps to my body. From the outside you can't tell that it's a camera bag; It's like any other backpack. The raincoat that came with mine wasn't light green with a logo like in the picture, mine is black with no logo and a silver lining. As long as he acts like a winner; I just want the main compartment to be 3/4" deeper and the whole thing 1.5" longer to fit my laptop. UPDATE: While there is ample storage, most of it is in four large unstructured pockets: two tablet/laptop pockets, a large open front pocket, and a large zipped pocket in the front flap. While all four go all the way, they're not a great choice for small items. There are only two small pockets (one with a strap, it seems, for a smartphone) and two pen holders. I'm going to sew a mesh pencil holder with an inside zip and maybe modify it with a pair of stretch-top mesh pockets, but I don't have to.
