Adventure Messenger 3 Camera Bag

A nice looking hip camera bag.

Strengths: - Good material, good looking, thick foam pads. - Large front pocket

Weaknesses: - Very difficult to access to the very inside compartment. - Not in the balanced position when hold - Too small side pocket

Summary: 2007-04-11 10:59:27 This bag is very good looking with sufficient foam-padded to keep the camera safe in the bag. The flip flop makes it really easy to grab the camera. The internal dividers are adjustable to match with any size of lens and accessories. However, it is really difficult to access the very inside compartment. The side pocket which is designed for a cell phone is not large enough to fit my thick cell phone (SE w600i). Padded shoulder strap is think enough to make it comfortable. The handle on the top of the bag is not in the center, so the bag will not in the vertical when hold. It is large enough to fit a camera, two lens and some accessories.

Needs some breaking in

Strengths: Stylish, big enough, feels durable, somewhat discrete

Weaknesses: Interior padding is somewhat fluffy, not great theft protection.

Summary: This bag is great for people with a moderate telephoto lens. My 18mm-135mm 3.5 - 5.6 fits in with vertical room to spare.

Bag is surprisingly compact for the amount of materials it carries. I'd assume that i could pack two (small) extra lenses and an auxillary flash in, with room to spare.

One slight perturbance is that the protective interior foam is pretty fluffy right out of the box. It makes for somewhat of a tight fit for the lens horizontally. I'm assuming that it will settle down a bit with use.

This bag allows for very easy acces to the camera-- one buckle and the main flap is open. Great for quick access, and i have no reason to doubt the quality of the buckle, but I would worry about theivery in poorer locals. It's would be very easy for a quick snatch n' run theft.

Finally, I wouldn't suggest this bag for anyone who's primary lense is bigger than a 67mm (filter size)-- any wider than that would have trouble fitting in the center protion of the bag.

Overall, pretty good.
