It was time to retire one of my photo bags, and since I already had a few K&F products (filters, mainly), I thought I'd try this bag out. And it's excellent. Much better than my old one.

One plus that I hadn't expected is that it folds nearly flat when not in use. The side zippers run the length of the bag, so you can fold the side and bottom flaps inward. So it takes considerably less space when it's not loaded.

It's also well padded on the sides, with numerous movable walls so you can configure it however you want. For a relatively small bag, it holds a surprising amount—the same as the bag it's replacing, even though it looks considerably sleeker.

It's got a ton of extras that you can read about in their marketing copy: memory card pockets, a detachable rain cover, numerous small pockets, easy access to your camera(s), a sleek reflective stripe, an nicely padded grab handle, and excellent straps. Oh, there's also a nice, "hidden" laptop pocket. It has everything I need, in a handsome package.

Most importantly, it's quite comfortable to carry. If I could change one thing, I'd give the straps a little bit more padding, but to tell the truth, that's just me looking for something to complain about. Also, bear in mind that this isn't a rigidly structured bag with hard walls. So don't throw it around. But I knew that going in, and it's a fair trade-off (for me) for the lightness and all-day comfort I get in return. I have a different bag for when I need maximum protection.
