Ona bowery camera bag youtube8/1/2023 ![]() It's great for cycling and works really well for holidays with front zip pockets for spare batteries and waterproof cover. I use the 200 when flying as my carry on, enough space for jumper, kindle etc. Yeah that's right Allen, and you can fit even more in if you want to use the main compartment. All my older bags are so large since I used them with my old D800, now I have GAS for new bags. I'm guessing you can get the same gear in the 200 pretty easily? We have two trips coming up so I may look at getting either the 100 or 200 for long walks since it's so versatile. I also bike so this backpack would be good for that too. Thanks Jason, man we have very similar taste because I've had my eye on the LowePro Photo Sport for a while also. ![]() I wouldn't take this out in any more than a light drizzle. This, the Lowe Pro photo sport 200 and the Peak Design Everyday Messenger cover all my options.Īnother thing is that rain can get in the sides of the Bowery if it is stormy, especially when loaded to the max. And it looks great, especially after a few months wear on the leather.Īnother thing is that rain can get in the sides of the Bowery if it is stormy, especially when loaded to the max. It's all about trade offs eh? A very small bag that doesn't look like a camera bag and hides such a lot of expense is great. Still better than a bigger bag full of gear. It's ok it just means I shift it about regularly. Initially it is fine but after a few hours the strap gets to me a little bit, I've the leather cognac one and there is no padding. It's on the edge in terms of comfort with all three lenses in. The one thing I like about the size of the Bowery (if my list of gear fits) is that it will prevent me from packing a lot more than I need. Question, how is the walk around shoulder weight for you with that setup? I have one of those Domke postal strap padding do-da's that I may have to use for an upcoming trip. The Batis 85 is about the same as the 16-35mm, and the 25mm is much smaller than my 28mm f/2. Thanks Jason, I think if you can get those three in the Bowery my combo should fit. ![]() It only just closes but that's fine with me because the bag is great. I would also look at the Billingham Hadley Small which is the same if not a bit more expensive than the ONA I think.I carry a A7rii in mine with 55 1.8, Batis 25 and Batis 85. Crumpled is not a first choice for my taste. ![]() The locking mechanism is nice, but make the flap top heavy and hard to work out of. The problem is the bags are too soft and lacking the rigidity when you start loading the bag. I tested a few ONA bags and they will fit the Fuji X camera and lenses. Thanks - that Jack is pretty cool but it's much bigger than I'm looking for. It also wouldn't easily be confused with a purse since that is a concern. The Retrospective is perfectly sized, very practically designed, and (IMHO) attractive but not one to attract unwanted attention. I was put off by the Bowery because of the leather cinch and the fumbling that would be required to get into it in a hurry, should there be a need. I'll vouch for the TT Retrospective as a terrific choice. No bag is worth that!Īt least it won't look like this camera bag, the Jill-E Juliette Leather Camera Bag : My concern comes from the endless stream of comments I will get from my wife and wise-cracking friends if it does indeed look like a woman's purse when around one's shoulder. I know, I know, I shouldn't care what others think. I guess that you're not near NYC but if you ever plan to visit, you can compare them at B&H which has most of them on display. It's the smallest Retrospective but still has a slightly larger interior space than the ONA Bowery and it's about the same price, $6 more than the canvas ONA Bowery. I prefer Think Tank Photo's canvas Retrospective 5 which seems to be a better, more practical design for photographers and it includes a rain cover. Jill-E Designs are what you'd want to avoid, although they have one that's more like ONA-like, their Jack Messenger Camera bag. The ONA Bowery Bags are more stylish than purse-like. I really want the leather one, but I'm wondering if the canvas version might look a little less purselike than the leather. They have great reviews, and I love the look, but I'm hesitating because it's been said in a number of reviews it looks very purse-like in reality when worn over the shoulder. I'm wanting the ONA Bowery Bag for a small walk around kit (XE1 and 2 lenses).
