Even after almost a year of use, the backpack remains beautiful and practical. Even for solo trips, it fits a lot of clothes, practical items, and of course camera gear.
There are some cons, namely:
- The straps will become loose when packed heavily, I saw a Japanese Youtuber get some strap fasteners which should solve this problem.
- The bag can't be machine washed or dried, so it takes a while to clean if a drink spills and also takes some time to dry properly.
- The threads do fall apart at some places, namely around the straps. Not enough to actually damage the bag, but for €200 it shouldn't happen.
- Without the camera carry, the bag lacks structural integrity.
- Laptops will only fit the actual laptop part without a sleeve. Also larger file folders are difficult to put in there.
- Fitting anything in the laptop and ipad sleeves with a filled camera carry is difficult.
That said, it is still a very convenient and the best looking EDC/Camera bag combination. It is also amazingly functional and I appreciate the amount of small inserts for stuff like pens, dongels, small rulers, etc.
It perfectly fits M43 camera's with a lens or 2, and with the body caps on I can even fit a M43 camera, a LX, 2 K-mount lenses and a m43 lens, in just the camera carry. The camera carry also fits a Mamiya 645 with an 80mm f/4 lens and accessories.
It's difficult to express how easy this backpack is to use and how beautiful it is compared to any other camera bag. I can carry everything I…
