And speaking as someone that absolutely hates lugging around heavy equipment, I like that the size really limits what I can take with me, and makes me be more critical about what I think I need to bring with me on shoots. My Olympus OM-D, E-P1, and 3 lenses all fit perfectly in this bag. That said, if you work with a smaller mirrorless camera system, it will fit in this bag live a glove. Don’t bother even trying to fit a DSLR into this bag, you’re not going to get anything in here much larger than a Leica M9. Make no mistake, this is not a large bag by any means. The build quality reminds me much of Billingham bags, which are highly regarded for their top-notch craftsmanship and quality feel. While walking the street, I found myself playing with the clasp constantly because it feels so great in the hand.Īll the stitching appears to be of the utmost quality, with no signs of threads coming loose or fraying. The clasp that holds the top flap closed is a beautiful, clever design that is ever so satisfying to close. ONA’s signature waxed-canvas material is sturdy but smooth, and the closed-cell foam inside padding is ultra-soft, but rigid enough to provide true protection should the bag take a fall.Īll the metal hardware on the bag is made from ONA’s “antique brass”, which feels incredibly sturdy and satisfying to use. From the moment I took it out of the box, I got the feeling that this bag could last a lifetime. I’ve always admired ONA bags for their understated and clean styling, along with an incredibly high quality durable build. I’ve tried a few smaller bags, namely the Cosmos Vintage bag, but I’m always looking for something fresh and after spending two weeks with “The Bowery” bag from ONA, I’m convinced that this is the one to get. I generally carry around two bodies, three lenses, and sometimes even a flash but even that didn’t seen to fill out my larger bags as well as I had hoped. When I switched to shooting Micro Four Thirds full-time a couple months ago, one of the first things I realized was that nearly all of my bags were too large for my new tiny photo system.
