@@paulcomptonpdphotography Bag arrived today which was quick since someone else suggested it took a long time to deliver. What can I say. Bought this as my other Lowepro didn't take my Dslr and all lenses, and gear. Always had to work out what to leave behind. I have gone from one extreme to another but in a good way. This bag is so roomy and well padded. It felt a bit heavy when it arrived but once filled it sat really comfortable on my back with thick shoulder straps and rear padding. Well worth the money and glad you gave it a review as I would never have considered otherwise.
Thanks for a lovely review, delivered with good humour and also thoroughness. I've used K&F products - mostly filters for some time and found the quality to be entirely acceptable - they even have a variable ND filter that actually works! I was wondering though, what the empty weight of the bag was, minus the little fanny pack thingy. Would anyone know? The specification shows it at 2.9kg which is not exactly lightweight, but I presume that includes the extra pack.
Hey Paul. Great video. Been looking around for another bag as we are away for a week in April up in Lairg Scotland and wanted just one back to carry all. Just ordered it so hopefully it will be good. Keep up the good work mate. Cheers
HI Paul, I have the Shimoda explorer V2 which did come with a rain cover & pockets in the waist strap. The rain cover has two elastic loops which you can feed the waist straps through & a Velcro loop to secure to the top handle. It is the first bag I have had that the rain cover will fit with a full size tripod attached. Brilliant bag, but like you say not cheap. I have had so many bags where the water runs off the outside of the rain cover & soaks into the bottom of the bag or it gets in the top as it runs off your coat.
@@paulcomptonpdphotography I tend to agree with Brian, brought a tripod from them in December and it took 2 weeks to get here, ordered the bag yesterday (sunday), see how long it takes.
Hi Paul thanks for the review. I was wondering if the top and bottom compartments can be made into a single compartment by removing the middle separator?
I've been curious about there bags for quite some time now; but never seen a review on them before. There written reviews have been overall positive, but I wanted to see a video of them to get a better idea of how it works with equipment and a person. Hopefully that made sense, makes sense in my head🤷♂️. Thank you for input on this bag, it was quite helpful. 🙂🤘
Looks like a good bag, but could you feed back to K&F they don’t do many smaller ones. I want a smaller bag, about 18 litres, but with the decent waist strap. The bag that Denise uses doesn’t have one and at my age I need the weight on my hips, not my shoulders. So this bag in a smaller version would be good, and popular too I think. 👍👍
@@paulcomptonpdphotography Oh that's very good of you to get a code. Your review was so good I went straight out and got one since the web site had already discounted by 25% to the price you quoted. Now just waiting as the shipping seems to be taking forever
Just bought the bag from K&F. couldn't resist as it's a bigger bag than my Lowepro BP250 and will fit my DSLR better. Thanks for such a useful review.
Let me know what you think 🤔

Even my very expensive shimoda gets very wet indise.
Love this review, but you roughed up the bag a bit. Amazingly done.
Thanks for the info!
Had quite a few things from K&F, great quality, only issue being the delivery times, seem very long
I get stuff quite fast interesting

@@paulcomptonpdphotography I think it’s when you order direct with K&F

I am very interested in this backpack. Will the lower part fit the body and 3 medium lenses? I hope that the upper part will be used for clothes.
three lens maybe tite but it depends how you set it up
Hi.. May I know if this nikkor lense 180-600 which about 36cm long can fit in this bag? Thank you

I like this bag a lot. Shame K&F didn't give you a discount code lol.

@@paulcomptonpdphotography Oh that's very good of you to get a code. Your review was so good I went straight out and got one since the web site had already discounted by 25% to the price you quoted. Now just waiting as the shipping seems to be taking forever
