Great Big Bag, August 4, 2009
It's huge. You may want the medium instead. But if you have lots of gear you want up and/or out there, this is the bag. I'm not a pro. I'm a dad. This bag will hold my gear (medium format film w/ 3 prime lenses, filters, tripod, the usual) and my kids stuff, too. It's made very well. I actually bought a used one. After a while the zipper started to malfunction (not close). After notifying Tenba they sent me a new one. Even though they knew I bought it used. They said it was still under warranty. They didn't have to. They believe in making people happy to have Tenba bags... I am. And the new shootouts now have bigger and better YKK zippers. I'm sold on Tenba. From now on, nothing but Tenba.

Rugged and well designed, July 13, 2010
In agreement with the previous reviewers, this bag is indeed a monster. With full loadout, including 6 lenses, 1 camera body, 2 flashes, tripod, and accessories, this bag weighs in at around 30 pounds. However, the bag distributes the weight comfortably. The system for carrying the tripod is intelligently designed, and the tripod remains secure without limiting access to the bag contents.
I purchased this bag so that I could carry my telephoto as well as my shorter lenses, along with both my flashes and the tripod. To this end, the bag serves its purpose spectacularly. However, this system is probably a bit to big for a casual day at the park. You want this backpack if you are going out with the intent of being prepared for every circumstance, and need to pack a good variety of lenses and accessories.
Based on my experience with this backpack, I would probably be able to recommend any of the Tenba Shootout line of backpacks or slingbags. The pack seems rugged, well-padded, and the weather-seal zippers are a very nice touch. Optional access to the interior of the backpack through the two side pockets seems well thought-out. Again, even fully loaded, the bag is surprisingly comfortable to wear. This is a testament to the ample padding, broad shoulder straps, and easy-to-use adjustment straps.

excelent, June 8, 2007
Big, bulky, but cant be better. This underprice back pack can hold everything and more. Nice materials, well done. Perfect and very rational design. I recomend this tenba to any professional (to much for amateurs...) outhere.
