Anyone use a Tamrac Pro 8 or System 6 bag?

I'm considering a new camera bag and have looked on-line at the Tamrac Pro 8 and the System 6 bags. Does anyone use either and what are your thoughts? I need room for my D7000, 18-105, tamron 70-300, and someday a flash. One lens will always be on the camera. I want something that I can carry on my shoulder; not a back pack style.
The big problem I encounter with bags is finding enough space to effectively organize all the extra accessories (cords, batteries, charger, etc.). I want roomy pockets for those items.
Thanks.

I don't have either but have been looking at them as well.

Would like to see them in person before I decide.

I'm using the pro 12 and love it. A bit bigger than the 8 but you'll find the extra room is good to have. Often bags are smaller than they appear for product shots. Best traditional bag for the price!

I have an older Tamrac Pro 8 bag--leather on the shoulder strap plus a leather handle directly on the top of the bag. The redesigned bags look to have either a rubbery handle directly on the bag and possibly as part of the shoulder strap, too. It was designed to hold 2 bodies as well as several lenses. The description used to say it held around 5-6 lenses, but with today's lenses being so much larger in diameter, I found I can fit 3 lenses (4 if they are really tight) and 1-2 bodies.

Tamrac was bought over by another company. Last night I found the new company's web site. It doesn't list the Pro 8 although I believe some are still available from distributors.

New company web site:
Tamrac Legacy Outlet

@Bill16 you may be interested in seeing what products they offer.

I think with all I've bought lately that I won't be buying anymore bags for some time to come! Lol But thanks my friend for the link, in case I do go nuts and buy more! Lol But I pretty sure the six bags I now have counting the new ones that haven't arrived yet, should cover my current needs and then some! I just love Tamrac bags so much it is hard to resist especially good buys! Lol :D
That pro 8 sound cool though! :)
