In the process of making a comeback (ie. spending time snapping more photos) … I picked up a new camera bag to replace my Kelly Moore ‘Boy’ bag (which was a big disappointment and you’ll read more about it later in this entry). I must admit I have one too many camera bags at home but I couldn’t resist this full leather one from monochrom<\/a> (site in German).<\/p>\n

The name ‘dothebag’ is pretty cool too eh? \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

It is of the right size (for me) as I’m usually lugging around smaller cameras nowadays. From the website … this bag is suppose to be able to fit a DSLR body and a few lenses too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It sure feels really solid and<\/p>\n

I usually make sure the bags I buy can fit my 11″ Macbook Air and this one is no exception. The MBA fits just nice in the front pocket! Yes … it goes all the way in nicely and the MBA is sticking out in the photo above just for illustration purposes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The ‘locks’ are on both sides. Just pull the silver knob and it will release. Simple and neat.<\/em><\/p>\n

Since this is replacing the Kelly Moore ‘boy’ bag … I’ll include a few photos to show why I got frustrated with the older bag. I am not sure why … but after less than 5 times using it … the material is starting to crack!!! It is not real leather … just some material that looks like leather but it is quite disappointing to see how it starts ‘fall apart’ just after few ‘dates’ with me! I took it for a trip to Japan and a couple of times here in Singapore … and I do not abuse it at all. See the photos below …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I noticed this started to happen during my Japan trip. I am not sure of the strap will give way but I’ve stopped carrying heavier stuffs in it. Hmm … I actually do not carry very heavy equipments. At most a mirrorless camera, a film SLR with a compact lens, my Macbook Air and some batteries.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’ve read some complains online about such cracks and peeling of the material. What a waste for otherwise such a pretty comfy camera bag. The name says ‘boy’ and perhaps it decided to self destruct in the hands of an old man. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
