Canon Professional Gadget Bag 1EG

Update 04-01-19It is still holding up excellently! No complaints!Original post from 12-26-17This will probably be my last camera bag ever. When they made this bag, they made it to last and hold everything. I did not want a back pack which seems to be so popular.So look at the pics and here’s what I think. (By the way, I gave around $93 for this bag 12/20/17)Pros of this bag-I love that the side two pockets zip shut first then Velcro close.-I love that the big top also zips closed, then flaps down and the metal clasps are attached. It feels safe and well made.-you can move your compartments around to change the shape and size to accommodate different sized stuff, not just camera bodies and lenses.-padding seems thick and protective-heavy material and stitching looks solid. It will have to be, to hold up to the weight that this bag will be carrying-when you open the top of the bag there are two different shaped zippered pouches attached to the top. Those can be unsnapped and unvelcroed, and have a strap on the end of each. I store filters in the top larger one (you could remove these to take with you) the narrow long one I have misc stuff in it like memory cards and extra lens caps)-there is a long zipper on the back of the bag that I just discovered. I plan to move my camera manuals and misc small journals/books back there.-there are so many pouches, pockets, zippers, etc. I can’t imagine needing a larger bag. You can always rearrange and still make more room.Cons- heavy once you load it down with a lot of equipment, but duh, I’m carrying a lot of equipment.Technically I have no cons. Love this bag!!I had a nice bag for about the last 10 years. Held camera and couple lens plus batteries, memory cards, filters, camera/lens cleaning supplies. It worked fine but now that I have my second brand new DSLR and more lenses to experiment with it, so it was time to move up in bags. I spent days reading reviews and examining pictures of bags. In the end this was my top choice. Price was more than I originally wanted to spend but I could not be happier and feel like the price is well worth it now that I have it in my hands.

I had read all the positive reviews about how much would fit, but I was skeptical that it could truly fit all my dslr goodies. Other camera bags are always just a little too small to actually fit real-sized cameras and several real-sizes lenses. They are usually made for a smaller consumer DSLR and one or two small kit lenses. That's it. It is very difficult finding a shoulder or handled-bag (read: NON-backpack) that is big enough to fit DSLR photography equipment on the go.In this one bag in the main compartment, I am able to fit my 60D, 4 large lenses with hoods (the 67-77mm diam variety and 6-8 inches long), 2 small lenses with hoods (40mm prime, teleconverter, etc), and a speedlite flash, each with its own padded cell, plus lens cleaning supplies, extra media, batteries, and filters, all in the zip pockets inside the main compartment.And then there are still 2 mid-sized pockets on the front that are big enough for normal sized lens hoods, battery charger, batteries, and filter cases. And the 2 big pockets on the ends are big enough for small/kit lenses, mid-size flashes, macro flashes, and large hoods,The interior of this bag is very deep, which is one of its main advantages. Most bags are not tall/deep enough, so you cannot stand a longer lens on end, which makes bigger lenses take up a lot of extra room unnecessarily when you lay them on their sides. But this bag is deep enough that you could fit a capped lens comfortably up to about 7" long, up to 8" with a tight fit. As far as camera bodies go, it will easily fit Canon's largest DSLR, the 1D-X, with attached lens. A typical shoulder bag will fit a 1D-X with a lens, and not much else. But this bag will have plenty of room to spare.The materials are very high quality. Everything is thickly padded, and the zippers are large and very strong. The straps are thick, comfortable, and strong and won't be ripping on you while you're out and about. The interior compartment comes with 10 separate velcro-attached padded dividers that could be configured in just about any way you can imagine. They all come out, if that is your need. The shoulder strap is top-notch, and there are straps on the bottom for hauling around a tripod.I highly recommend this bag for professionals and serious photography enthusiasts who regularly carry a lot of stuff. It's a little big for photographers who travel light, so you might want to consider Canon's smaller bags for your needs, as they are essentially the same high quality but with less interior volume.Another 5-star product from Canon!

A great bag at a great price! Has more than enough pockets for all my ‘non-telephoto’ lenses and accessories, which adds up to a Canon 5D body with an attached lens, three other lenses, a flash and remote, GPS attachment, polarizers, spare batteries, camera manual, and a few other small items. It is very ruggedly designed, with strong zippers and clasps to also support the weight when carried by the handle. The material, while not waterproof, seems thick enough that rain would probably take a long time to get through, and waterproofing could be easily applied.My only issue is that all this gets a little heavy (~25 pounds) to carry on one side, but I don’t have a better suggestion. It is too large to carry the weight on the hips like a fanny pack, and a little heavy to have on the shoulders as a backpack. And I do love the convenience of having everything right there, ready to use! Other packs of similar design that appeared to have less padding and fewer compartments were much more expensive, so I feel this is a very good purchase.

注文する前に米国のサイトより実写を確認したが、細部までは不明だった。届いてみて見てみると、上部の取っ手の部分は本革だし、ドンケの様な金属製のポケットクリップもマニア心をくすぐる。包装も厚手のビニールでしっかりとされていて、ベルトや細部にわたって縫製も完璧。ボディのナイロンも防弾チョッキに使用される、高強度のHDナイロンであると思われる。大きさも一眼とレンズ数本を入れてもよし、コンパクトデジカメを入れてもよし、あるいは中の間仕切りを上手く工夫すれば、精密機器を持ち運ぶビジネスバッグとしても使用できるだろう。何故かオレが購入したときよりも価格が2倍弱になっているが、それでも掘り出し物だと思う。日本国で発売していないのが不思議だが、見知らぬシューターから「それ、どこに売ってました？」と訊かれるのもここちよい。教えないけどね。
