I am a professional photographer and put this bag for about 2.5 years. The last date the pseudo metal buckles are (is an alloy as I now have found) on one side simply canceled. The bag slammed to the ground, so fast you could not even react. Fortunately closed and only about 1 m distance. Yet at the 1dMII a plastic part was broken by the viewfinder. Recently, we were in about 50m height on an industrial furnace, imagine the consequences if that had happened there. The other buckle could also be bent easily. So, a question of time. For me incomprehensible, to use as an inferior part there, otherwise functionally an ingenious pocket.
