I loved this one so much, I bought a Brixton (also in the tan) for daily use, riding the motorcycle and carrying my laptop to and from work along with my camera gear.Ĭurrently, I'm carrying the Pro-1 with 35 ƒ1.4 (hood attached) along with my X70. I'm guessing the leather is an awesome bag, but I love the canvas. After using it for over a year, it's just now getting broken in. Is the canvas easier to use ? Which colors did you choose and what do you think? Do you guys have any opinions who have them.

I can't seem to find any reviews on comparing the leather vs canvas versions. We judge photographers by the photographs we see.Hi I am going up to street foto and San Fran and need a good bag for my trip and workshops. I should probably sell it, but I've gotten enough use out of it at times that I hesitate to. I can get more in a canvas Bowery than I can in the notably larger Hadley Small. I do have a Hadley Small and it was a nice match when I was shooting Fuji and m43 gear, but I've never found a useful way to fit a DSLR and a few lenses into it - just too narrow front to back I think.

That's doubly true of the Hadley Pro and I wouldn't even want to carry it around partially loaded because it's a freaking BIG bag. But fully loaded, I'd never carry it as an every day bag.

I have an Ona Prince Street or Brixton (I honestly don't remember which it is), which is smaller than the Hadley Pro and it's large enough to take everything I want when I travel and small enough not to get in the way when I just carry a smaller subset of my full travel kit on a day to day basis once I get where I'm going. The Hadley Pro is too big for me - it's like the larger Onas in the sense that if I fill it up, I'll never carry it. We judge cameras by the photographs we miss - Haim no Billingham Headley Pro in canvas black & brown? We judge photographers by the photographs we see. Something about the sling style and really wide shoulder strap just works! Ugly as sin, though, but sometimes you can't have looks and function all at once. It's not that they hold so much (although the Turnstyle 20 will carry more than I'm willing to), it's just that they make carrying a heavier load far more comfortable than the Onas (or any Domke or other Think Tank I've use. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't have bought the leather bag.įor carrying a heavier load, though, I've never found anything as comfortable and functional as the Turnstyle series. My canvas Bowery, OTOH, is both lighter and roomier - all in all a more practical bag.

I have a leather Bowery but I basically just use it if I'm only taking a couple of point and shoots and a set of headphones or something.

Every time I pick up a leather ONA Bowery I'm surprised at how heavy it is. I'd much rather go with canvas, especially with the smaller bags. But I will say that I find the leather ONA bags to be heavier than they need to be. That's why I got rid of those bags in favor of Domkes and others a few years ago, and now basically just use the Bowery for small loads and the Turnstyle 10 for heavier loads They're so well padded and compartmentalized and they're so pliable to begin with, that I always found it difficult to find what I was looking for and get stuff in and out in a hurry while I was out shooting. I have a TT Turnstyle 10 that I love, but I've had the Retrospective bags in the past and found them a real PIA to actually use in the field.

When my Retro 5 is jammed full it gets harder to insert/eject the cameras.Ī big Plus One to this. Looks less purse-like, though that's not a real concern for me.īut the ONA, because of its simplicity, is sometimes easier to actually get the cams in/out. It holds a little more, has more interior pockets so it's better at segregating stuff, flap is easier to open/close. I kinda want to say Think Tank Retro 5 'For the Win' (FTW).
