"My name is Ralf and I'm Fototasche Addict.

Or so could my welcome appearance at a meeting of the anonymous camera bag addict. My wife has always twisted the eyes when I only times briefly look at the shop we trust in the words in the department with backpacks and bags abbiege. Can one ever have enough camera bags?

My standard reportage setup consists of a D7000 with a Sigma 105mm macro and a Sigma 17-50 2.8. The camera I wear this often in the hand or on the carrying system of capture clip (see here the perfect camera support device). Now I must, however, have a storage space for the second objective, with which I can perform a fast changing lenses. The unschönste variant is to turn off the second lens somewhere or to push my wife into their own hands. Especially when the concert Mennekrather (pictures on Facebook) me is the incredibly negative attention. My camera bag I will not indeed have always cloaks. As a stopgap measure until now the Belt Bag SunSniper has used, but was never really satisfied, the case is namely from the body. Once one of the (not exactly light) lenses in it, it was always to wear very uncomfortable for me. So had to be an alternative. Unfortunately, I have never become really find it, especially if the bag should have a certain style factor. Finally, I want you to use even with orders and weddings.

At Photokina, I have for the first time a Camslinger 160 saw the company Cosyspeed. Very noble pocket, but it was advertised as a bag for system cameras. Somehow I have since not connected and they unconsciously checked as uninteresting ". A few weeks ago I read a review of Gabor judge who commented very positively about the Camslinger. Maybe the bag is anyway interesting to me? After a little communication with the Managing Director of Cosyspeed I got the chance a Camslinger to test 160 in Paris Grey. I have made you a few pictures to visualize, but remember that I am not a product photographer. The manufacturer Cosyspeed has on its home great pictures from any angle on the bag;.)

My first impression:
The bag comes really nobly. I had some concern that the green is too bright. I find it, however, as a really pleasant. Even the gray fabric feels high quality. Inside the bag is lined with a soft fabric scary. As I pack my equipment purely happy, even without protective cover if it has to happen quickly. I am firmly convinced that there is nothing happening. Top, saves me time.

Included is a Fingercamstrap, a small velcro ring. I understand the ring system as a DSLR camera variant wrist strap for a finger. I can not say about the usefulness nothing to ner DSLR makes the loop no sense. ;)

Also the known Velcro subdivisions are included 6 to divide the interior of the bag again. These have for my application unfortunately no relevance, I need the whole bag for a lens, or a camera. Or is it? More on this later.

Oh what is that? As has me Cosyspeed still a Lensbag put 30 extra bag with them. About the name Lensbag I have to smile a little as a DSLR photographer. Since I get definitely none of my lenses clean, but small items such as business cards, spare battery and memory card fits in there real good. Very cool, I like it.

When you first create the bag to me then a potential disadvantage is noticeable, however: The bag is fixed to the belt. So if I want to carry the bag on the left, then I have to have back the shutter. We'll see if that will bother me in practice. On the positive side, the backup to mention the closure. Inadvertent opening is virtually excluded. You have to push not only the well-known noses of snap lock (condemned as so called a closure, anyway? I do not know.), But also a third nose press to open the shutter. Go fast, but assures. I like it the way it is.

The bag can be adjusted to any depth, so that the internal volume is variable. This is due to the overlapping Velcro fasteners something Tricky, also conveys a sense of security. I entrust the construction even at the widest possible setting. One drawback thereto noticed my wife. The Velcro areas are due to the material not gray but black. Thus, the style factor is lost a bit. I personally, however, this does not bother much.

I can test the case in the following situations:

1. Application: excursion through Cologne.
An excursion during my studies across Cologne should be the first application. The reportage combination described above, I wanted to be a day in Cologne go. My journey started with the D7000 in hand / on Capture Clip and the Sigma 17-55 2.8 on the camera. The Sigma 105 macro 2.8 was packaged in the Camslinger. The Camslinger got me in this situation, some unwanted increases in blood pressure. She wore just so awesome pleasant that I latent panic handle frequent on my right hip. I've just 750g heavy Sigma 105mm macro simply not felt. Compared to the case of Sunsniper a world of difference. The bag is just not on, but clings downright from the thigh. Even a small sprint across a street mastered the pocket without any problems. The unwanted panic episodes were less and I just enjoyed the comfort. To change a lens (without leave their need somewhere) I went as follows:

The camera with the lens already attached I hold in my left hand (I have to wear the bag so right, because of the closure)

I put it to the camera-side connection upwards. After settled the lens on the camera and placed in the bag next to the Sigma (unfortunately I did when recording the images the lens cap still on it. In the real application I have the cap from Sigma simply put the other lens)

Thereafter, the macro on the camera. Then I have the second lens (Sigma 17-50 2.8) just lie down and close the bag. In the afternoon I did it as a whole may be needed 20-30 seconds.

2. Application: Sonntagsspaziergang
The bag is quite big, maybe I can at a Sunday walk with the dogs so use them for ne Camera? During this walk I gladly our second camera (Nikon D5200), either with the 105s Macro from Sigma or other fixed focal length with. The camera incl. Wrist strap and macro fits so precisely into his pocket. For this, however, I have to do without the lens hood. It is a compromise, but I wanted to know if it works. The camera I could easily and quickly get out of the bag, also put away the closed liquid. Only with the closure you need to have a little practice in order to serve them blind can. This is because the combination of the bag fills quite well and thus a little bulge. This is necessary to make good the closure already. Worked with me for about 20-30 repetitions, but then easily and continuously since then. For this application (the macro) the Camslinger however, is not my favorite, but it is unfortunately a few centimeters too small.

3. Application: Street Photography
Now I'm not really the classic Street and passionate photographer. But I always have a camera with us. This is either to my beloved D7000 without battery grip or the D5200, each with a fixed focal length. I usually have the camera in a messenger bag or backpack case. But that also means that I rarely use the camera. I'm just not ran fast enough when I spontaneously discover a motive. It's just very awkward to get the camera off. Here the Camslinger convinced me wholeheartedly. There is plenty of room, I'll be afloat on the camera and can virtually blind to back off again. INGENIOUS.

4. Application: everyday bag
As described above, I actually always with a Messangerbag. Phone, house keys and wallet will be accommodated somewhere. So why not even try to Camslinger it. Stylish enough for the bag is yes. In short, I've tested it and think it's awesome. I'll quickly serve up everything, not have to look awkward and thanks to the closure incl. Fuse, I also do not worry that someone is stealing me what in the City. Here is a little insight into this daily setup, this, I then used the partitions.

Then I wanted to know for sure. My iPad mini actually accompanied me everywhere. Alone as eBook reader, it comes here more frequently used. Does this fit?
Yes, it fits and is completely suitable for everyday use. How cool. I am happy. Alone it is worthwhile for me to purchase the bag. And who knows, maybe I'm so trendsetter. ;)

CONCLUSION:
For me, the bag is definitely an asset in my daily life. The Camslinger looks absolutely stylish. It has nothing to do with a fanny pack, how she sometimes looks at sports pants bearing contemporaries. Above all, it meets your application. I will not easily give up, but maybe one or the other pocket of my collection. However, I would like to see a 190 or 205 Cosyspeed, which is again a little bigger. Perhaps employee Cosyspeed increased my desire yes;)
