They are of exceptional quality and are made from premium leather and waxed canvas. I had always overlooked these as they seemed to be a premium brand out of my reach of affordability.
Then I came across ONA bags in a Melbourne camera store. Plus, wearing a backpack makes me very hot especially if I am out walking for any period of time. So I often found I would be removing my backpack and carrying it awkwardly in front of me when in such a situation. And that also makes for a security issue if in a crowded area or even on a crowded train. Backpacks are very convenient for carrying gear, especially when travelling, but access to your gear is all behind you. But never have I owned one that I ever truly felt comfortable with. So over the years I have acquired several decent and even great camera bags. I wanted a stylish street photography bag that was compact, weather resistant and comfortable. Even with many of them releasing ‘street series’ bags, they still look like camera bags. I don’t understand why camera bag manufacturers feel the need to brand their gear so significantly. And when travelling I would rather not advertise that I am likely to be carrying thousands of dollars of equipment. Some of them are just so obviously camera bags. And that is a big problem with camera bags. No good having a discrete camera whilst carrying a bright yellow bulky bag that just screams photographer. And that is especially important for Street Photography too. With smaller and lighter gear I am able to pursue a more subtle style of camera bag. The bags themselves can weigh several kilograms even empty. I cannot believe now the size of the camera bags I used to carry.
I have talked in past blogs about my DSLR days and carrying such heavy and bulky gear. Or, at times, it is tough to find a bag that you actually like. It is an endless pursuit as our gear changes regularly or the needs of the day require different gear to be with me. Exterior Dimensions: 10.Like most photographers I know that suffer some form of GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome), I am forever searching for a ‘better’ bag to carry my camera gear.Transforms into a camera insert with removable strap.Handcrafted with water-resistant waxed canvas.The Bowery is padded with closed-cell foam, designed with top-quality water-resistant waxed canvas, antique brass hardware and a secure front closure.
