$399 for that PKG bag. The above messenger is $289.

Incase has a new line that looks pretty good and functional as well.

Reminds me of the Billingham bags. They look pretty nice and discreet!

Reading reviews of the ONA bag have come up with everyone saying the front pocket is really tight and accessibility is a bit of a problem.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

My requirements are

- fits a 5D3 + 50mm + 85mm + wide.
- fits a 15" MacBook.
- looks awesome.
- no more than 6" depth (prefer low profile so it isn't so unwieldly swinging around behind me)

I don't see a Billingham bag that fits the bill. Looking at ThinkTank as well.

Honestly bags kinda suck if you're traveling, so happy that ive upgraded to a backpack. Much more convenient!

I travel with a backpack. This would be more of a bag I would carry a camera around in every day as well as a laptop.

Fits: 17-40L + 85L // 5D3 + 70-200 2.8 II // 24-70L


Fully packed up:

A cheaper alternative would be to purchase any shoulder bag that is big enough, and just add in a padded insert to hold your lenses/cameras. That way when you are not using it for cameras, just take out the insert and its just like any regular fashionable messenger bag!

I'd rather use something designed as a camera bag and not deal with dividers moving around or not fitting correctly.

And it isn't worth the DIY time either.

I have this exact same bag, except in brown.
If you go to UBC you'll see me lugging it around all the time as my school bag too- I'm the only one with it



(Not me in the picture, but was making an old high school friend carry it for picture sake)

It's cool, just a bit pricey for my liking. I feel it should be priced around the $160 mark to be more appropriate. I paid 365 after taxes and duty fees getting it shipped from B&H in New York.

The bag itself isn't the most functional photographer's bag, it's more for looks.

I'm going to pick it up from Point Roberts so it'll be at least $50 cheaper.

Does it bulge when you have a camera in it?

A little bit. If you put a larger non-rebel body (e.g. D800, 5D Mark II) sideways (i.e. short side against your body) then it will bulge a LOT, and as well as if you use a battery grip. You will have to unmount your lens for sure if you use a grip.

A 70-200 f/2.8 will just barely squeeze in there.

Found this today. Looks good like the ONA bag but slightly bigger and with additional pockets. And part of the profits go towards a water charity.

Tanner Goods have some camera bags now as well:

I can speak for the quality of their leather products, I've never tried any of their bags though.

Way too small to be useful for $350.
