Customer Review

Profile: freelance photographer iR

My current equipment:

Olympus OM-D E-M5; E-PL1

mFt Lenses: Sigma 2.8 / 19; 2.8 / 30; Olympus 1.8 / 45;
mFt lens: Sigma 2.8 / 60 + Olympus TCON 17x = 2.8 / 204mm

Olympus E3

Ft Lens: Zuiko 2.8-3.5 / 14-54II
Ft Lens: Zuiko 3.5-4.5 / 40-150

After I optimized my photo equipment and almost all camera bags were either too small or too big had to be some purchased new.
On the one hand for the camera system OM-D E-M5, because all bags were too big and the other for the Olympus E3 with these two lenses.
I also use LOWEPRO bags with the possibility to attach the side accessory pockets, but wanted everything in one have exactly the Olympus E3 with the two lenses.
And it fits in exactly.
Above, the E3 has capped 2.8-3.5 Zuiko / 14-54II and inverted lens hood.
Below, separated by a separation flap with Velcro, then the larger 3.5-4.5 / 40-150 (11 x7,7 long diameter)
The separation flap is sutured firmly on one side and is mounted on the other side, with a Velcro closure, folded.
12cm in length and 8cm in diameter are then also the maximum what fits in to the lens down.
That's not so much what it sounds like and you quickly reach the limits when using lenses with thicker volume.
Be sure to measure before.
For the medium-sized E3 and the still smaller Ft lenses perfectly.

Now the system camera OM-D E-M5

This fits in with attached handle, without handle slightly loose.
For this purpose it has capped Zuiko 2.8 / 12-40, I've tested with a friend.
Also this combination fits superbly.
Now fit the under compartment eg two small primes pure side by side.
If I had not expected and this is now a case for both systems.

In the cover are purely two compartments with lids and Velcro, for memory cards, here are also still slightly larger CF cards in plastic protective cover easily and in landscape mode.
This is now no longer a matter of course.
Often the subjects are kept too small, only for SDHC card size.
Top, bottom and side walls of the pocket are well padded and the floor has two large rubber feet, this shocks should be well secured and in off the bag bottom is not dirty.

There is a zippered compartment, which is further protected by the cover flap on the front.
Here fit replacement batteries and filters inside.
Maximum 1 filter in protective sheath to 77mm and 2 spare batteries + a lens brush then is the subject fully.
Unfortunately, one has here forgotten sew two small mesh pockets, so all infected by each other in it.

The shoulder strap is sewn firmly.
I would have liked a carabiner solution to the belt against an air exchange Padded belt.
Due to the design, Colt pocket, sits the bag with camera but firmly on his shoulder.

The material is water-repellent and already holds a stronger rainstorm stood.

A downgrade
* In the front compartment is all loose, which could have been solved with minimal effort, two small mesh pockets.
* A heavy camera with lens, eg Olympus E3 & Zuiko 2.8-3.5 / 14-54II = 1400gr. fits into the upper pocket portion, but then no longer holds the flap with Velcro. Camera pushes the Velcro down and slips through.

Despite the minimal defects a buy recommendation from me.
