Executive Summary: It's good for what it is. Small bag that I've managed to overpack. If you only have one or two lenses, it will suit you just fine. If you think you may need something bigger, you probably do.

What works

Cheap. $35 or so. The above setup rang in at around 7 pounds. Leaving the tripod at home cuts out another pound or so. Fits in my desk at work, so I can lock it up during the day. You can attach a bottle of water if you're clever. While a tight fit, it does fit all my equipment. And after all, that's the end goal, right? Has a built in waist belt strap so you can wear it like a fanny-pack.

Room for improvement

It's totally my fault, as I was bending it on purpose, but I broke the metal jobbydoo that holds the shoulder strap end clamp on. I have replaced it with a carabiner (can barely be seen at the right of the image here), which actually works out quite well. Handy to attach the bag to a seatbelt or fence. The shoulder strap isn't the most comfortable thing. I find myself switching shoulders quite often. Probably not helping is the fact that I tend to rest my arm on the bag while it is over my shoulder, producing extra weight. Waist belt strap isn't ver
