Boy that is a gorgeous one. Honestly a steal at that price for what you get and would be easy to resell. Nice shoulder pad too.

Why, O Why did I look at this post?

Guy, why did you show that..... thats a cool one...I have a Filson but that looks more capable.

 

[Guy Mancuso]

That's nothing this one we can all afford. I might sell all my small bags to get it too. 259 dollars

Trying to figure it's actually size

What body parts do I have to give up. I'm really low here. Lol

I'm determined to buy one of them. Lol

I'm really taken by this one as a daily carry for my Macbook Pro 15,
Called the ranger at €449 ... very tempting, I could even use it as a camera bag too! .

The Scout or the Avenger. The Scout is relatively cheap at 259. I was going to sell my Sling 20 TT I just bought anyway. I might sell my TT bag too. Forget the name. Great little bag but after 40 years I would not mind something sexy looking.

The ranger is the biggest in the series than the Avenger and followed by the Scout. All looking really nice too. I have a backpack now for the whole system but would love one of these for like body and 3 or 4 lenses.

What I did notice on every one of them is you could go without the insert since it has micro fiber on the interior , you could just use Velcro dividers and pick up more space. I'm not a person that likes a lot of padding. Lenses are tougher than most people think. Bottom pad yes since glass is pointed down but side to side really just need scratch resistance to other glass. Taking out that insert could lead to a additional lens slot. I'm willing to do that.

If I can fit R2 body with lens like the 35 1.4 on , Batis 25 and 85 plus stash my VC 15 in the bag than for me that's a great day bag. Throw the 200mm in the car in its own bag.

I haven't seen the Batis in the flesh yet, but I think the 25,35 and 85 mounted on the camera body you'd be looking toward the Scout or the Avenger. But I'm always drawn back to the Ryker ... I think it's the nicest of all the bags they show, just a little small for those bigger FE lenses.

Wow. Some of the bags pictured and mentioned here. *wow*, some serious camera bag porn. I'm way outta my league here. This is the first time I've seen camera bags worthy enough where criminals will target you, carefully remove your camera gear, and simply take the bag...:ROTFL:

I'm afraid it maybe on the small side too. Difference between Scout and Avenger is not much in size width 31 vs 35. Depth 12 vs 16 but same height. 200 dollar difference . The Scout sounds like a bargain. The no side pockets on it though but the 2 front pockets would hold color checker , cards and batteries in the other pocket . Plus some interior pockets. I could always hook on a side pocket case too. It certainly would replace my two small bags.

It's hard to tell from the photos and website. How does one close and fasten these bags? It looks like it just uses belt/buckle, which is a two hand operation. Is there a clasp of some sort?

When I'm out and about, I need the bag to be open with one hand and securely closed without any amount of fiddling.

WE should start a bag co-op… SEnd our bags around after two weeks to try out. I have so many bags that I do not use… and yet still tempted ---

Belt buckle is on pop studs AFAIK.

I am not necessarily a big fan of sling bags but the ThinkTank 10 is really great for a Sony system. The back fits in a carry on suitcase with plenty of room for clothes and you know the few other things you might need when traveling.
In this set up on the left-- Sony 55/1.8 and Sony 35/2.8, middle Sony A7RII attached to the Batis 25mm hood extended, right Leica WATE and Voigt 75mm 2.4 (with adapter) and in the upper compartment I have the Leica 135mm 3.4 with adapter. Of course room for extra batteries and a few other things not in the photo.

I would be interested in seeing the newer ThinkTank Mirrorless 25i in person as a comparison.

The Ranger is the one I have been trying to resist also. Is a gorgeous bag. Heavy though according to Howard
