I have the predecessor of the Stealth Reporter series. I think mine is the Street & Field Rover AW 100, but my comments apply to all sizes and both series, since these bits haven't changed.
In general the bags are very well made, well padded (on the Goldilocks principle), versatile, light and well thought out. Water resistance is good, especially with the AW cover. It's very, very handy to be able to attach things, like a bottle holder, film drop or extra pouch. I like being able to remove the shoulder strap - I can rig the bag up quite easily to use as a bar bag on my bike. The things I dislike about them are: 1. the shoulder strap - I don't like 'anatomically correct' shoulder straps, and this one is a bit slippy anyway. 2. the material - mostly very good, but in hot weather it can make my hip sweaty. I prefer canvas. 3. the zip in the top - unnecessary in my opinion; over-engineering. 4. the fasteners - on mine there are 2 front fasteners, which is 1 too many. They seem to have corrected this now. But they still use the wrong type of catch, which requires the use of both hands to fasten. The Domkes are preferable in that regards because you can open and close them very easily with one hand. -- Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Godfrey DiGiorgi > Sent: 31 March 2007 02:35 > To: PDML List; SeePhoto Talk; DUG > Subject: bags bags bags > > I have more freekin' camera bags than I know what to do with. > [...] > > Anyone else using these bags?
