Crumpled is not a first choice for my taste. The locking mechanism is nice, but make the flap top heavy and hard to work out of. The problem is the bags are too soft and lacking the rigidity when you start loading the bag. I tested a few ONA bags and they will fit the Fuji X camera and lenses. Thanks - that Jack is pretty cool but it's much bigger than I'm looking for. It also wouldn't easily be confused with a purse since that is a concern. The Retrospective is perfectly sized, very practically designed, and (IMHO) attractive but not one to attract unwanted attention. I was put off by the Bowery because of the leather cinch and the fumbling that would be required to get into it in a hurry, should there be a need. I'll vouch for the TT Retrospective as a terrific choice. No bag is worth that!Īt least it won't look like this camera bag, the Jill-E Juliette Leather Camera Bag : My concern comes from the endless stream of comments I will get from my wife and wise-cracking friends if it does indeed look like a woman's purse when around one's shoulder. I know, I know, I shouldn't care what others think. I guess that you're not near NYC but if you ever plan to visit, you can compare them at B&H which has most of them on display. It's the smallest Retrospective but still has a slightly larger interior space than the ONA Bowery and it's about the same price, $6 more than the canvas ONA Bowery. I prefer Think Tank Photo's canvas Retrospective 5 which seems to be a better, more practical design for photographers and it includes a rain cover. Jill-E Designs are what you'd want to avoid, although they have one that's more like ONA-like, their Jack Messenger Camera bag. The ONA Bowery Bags are more stylish than purse-like. I really want the leather one, but I'm wondering if the canvas version might look a little less purselike than the leather. They have great reviews, and I love the look, but I'm hesitating because it's been said in a number of reviews it looks very purse-like in reality when worn over the shoulder. I'm wanting the ONA Bowery Bag for a small walk around kit (XE1 and 2 lenses).
