My only regret about this bag is that I didn't stump up the extra for the 'Pro' version. I have used it far more often as an all purpose carrier than a camera bag and still love it. Thanks for your comment Sinetwo
Thank you Markus for the birthday wishes, like, and interesting question. So, I had to wobble off and find out if the bag would accept the 70-200 attached to a 'Pro' level body (in my case a Nikon D800) and here is what I found. YES, easily lying along the bottom of the bag with inner dividers removed, but that means the bag then becomes a one trick pony as everything else you might want to be carrying would have to be loaded on top and therefore removed again to access the camera and lens. However, it is perfectly feasible to place the ensemble vertically and leave an inner divider to separate the space and move the outer buckles one hole larger than seen in my shots of the bag. My choice would be to carry the body and lens together but uncoupled.
I had long since been the oldest 'skinhead' in town and thought it was time to go for something a bit softer Gazkop. Thank you for your friendly comment and birthday wishes :-)
Dear Mr. Tothill, six years have passed since this review. Like rain on the mountain or a puff of smoke, whichever you prefer. Are you still using the bag? Can you live with the lack of a carrying handle?
Thank you for your polite question and I apologise for the late reply. I still have and like the bag, but rarely use it as it has been superseded by my 'Peak Design' 13 litre Everyday Messenger
Yes it can very easily carry a laptop between the outer bag and the inner foam protection BUT the laptop would not enjoy the same amount of protection as the camera gear. You would be wise to contact the company direct for better information
Gosh, this takes me back. I bought one of these 25 years ago, encouraging to see they appear to be as well made as they were back in the day!

Very pleased you are happy with your choice LOU
Nice video David. I'm looking at this to use for 'office use' and with camera use as well

a treat indeed
and wish i had that outlook from back door gorgeous
I have many things to be thankful for in this life David, one is the tranquil view I enjoy daily :-)
Belated Happy Birthday! Could you fit a pro body with the 70-200 attached into the bag?

Nice video, man.
Kind of you to say so ... And what a pleasant surprise to discover a builder who pronounces the last 'T' in words where they exist :-)
@@DavidTothill And don't forget, of course, "aitch" not "haitch"!
Thanks for the video! Just wondering do you think this bag could carry a 15" laptop alongside with some of your camera gear?
Yes it can very easily carry a laptop between the outer bag and the inner foam protection BUT the laptop would not enjoy the same amount of protection as the camera gear. You would be wise to contact the company direct for better information
Great review thank you.Can i fit one d810 with the 70-200 attached?
Yes you can. vertically or horizontal but it would limit what else you can carry at the same time.
thank you for your quick response you just make my day
Great video, dont forget to clean your censor before your next video =)
The embarrassing thing is, that football of dirt was in the last video also ! (I don't use that camera very often) Thanks for nice comment Lazarus
This weight without a schoulderpad? Never !
