Very comfortable, versatile and good looking bag (DNA 11)

I was looking for a bag to use when travelling. It should carry my compact main mirrorless camera (Olympus OMD 05ii) and rear mirrorless camera (Olympus OMD 10ii), telephoto lens on camera (Olympus 14-150), compact zoom on camera (kit lens 14-42) and two other lenses and 10, 5 inch iPad Pro. In addition to these things, several backup batteries, filters, flash, additional memory cards. I want it to be able to be worn as a fanny pack, be waterproof enough and be versatile. Firstly, I easily…

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • -

Nice bag but some things that could be improved

I used it as a daily car for about 6 months. Good: Very spacious inside, holds everything you need and can even double as a travel bag. Plenty of pockets help you stay organized. Good for on the go. It strikes a good balance between external dimensions and durability. It packs easily on an airplane and has a handle pass for luggage - Has compartments specifically for pens and notepads - Has some weather protection and comes with a rain cover - The included shoulder pad feels stiff at first but…

Pros
  • Nice part
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

Great bag for camera and photo

I have been using this bag almost every day for several weeks. First the pros: 1. The bag looks great. I can take this bag to work and meetings and look like a pro doing it. I bought blue dark cobalt looks smooth. It doesn't necessarily look like a camera bag, so it doesn't draw unwanted attention.2. The top zip is the best part of this bag. I can carry the bag on my shoulder and get my camera out quickly and easily. I used the top zip exclusively and never had a reason to open the flap. I can…

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some bugs

This is the best camera backpack I have ever used!

I've had a lot of camera cases and I mean A LOT! I have used backpacks, messenger bags and slings. Let me preface my comments by acknowledging that there are many personal preferences when it comes to liking or disliking a particular bag. The perfect bag for me might be anathema to you. However, the Tenba DNA 15 backpack is the best camera backpack I have ever used. Sometimes I still use a shoulder bag, but mostly I find a backpack more useful. I love being able to carry non-camera related…

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging

DNA 13 vs DNA 15

I am writing my review as a comparison between DNA 13 and DNA 15 because despite the specs on the website it was very difficult for me to imagine what would be better for me. I'll start off by saying I'm a wedding photographer who uses a large foldable shoulder bag and then a small "work" shoulder bag. So my goal was to have a crossbody bag that was small enough to carry on my shoulder at work but big enough to carry whatever I need when I don't have access to a scooter. My other requirement…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • High Price
