[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 531473, member: 13090"] I bought that very bag based on the high number of fantastic user reviews but only used it for about a week before ditching it... So I *was* disappointed with it. There are a couple design features in particular that I couldn't get past. The first is that the zippers for the main compartment don't go all the way to bottom which means the flap is always trying to flop closed and has to be held open if you want to put the bag flat on the ground. I had to chuckle watching the guy in the video demo the bag; he had to keep it propped up at a 45 degree angle so you could see the inner compartment without the flap falling over. That was the real deal-breaker for me. I got tired of fighting the main compartment. They could easily cut the zippers a couple extra inches while curving them inwards, toward the center, so that the main flap would lie flat when open, but so far they haven't. The other thing that annoyed me was that the sling at the top won't accommodate a camera body with with a grip attached and some of my most used lenses, like my Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8, wouldn't fit in the sling. It's a very well made bag, and I wish more bags had the sort of tough, rubberized bottom this one does, but it's definitely not the right bag for me. [/QUOTE]
