It’s because a modern photographer’s kit usually costs in the thousands of dollars range, and thieves know it. It’s not just in order to be able to more easily capture candid scenes (although that’s also important). Photographers often try to avoid drawing any unnecessary attention towards themselves, and for good reason. That’s great when you want to stand out from a crowd, but not so much when you’re trying to be inconspicuous. Instead, their classic design and high-end materials often act as a magnet for curious eyes. The problem with ONA bags in general, and leather ONA bags in particular, is they are not subtle. It is, simply put, the very definition of an everyday bag. Instead, it’s the kind of bag you can always have with you no matter what. Bigger bags are nice to have when you need to carry all your stuff with you, but the Bond Street is not that kind of bag at all. I love that, even when it’s fully packed with gear, it still remains light enough to be carried all day without causing any discomfort. It sounds like I’m coming down hard on the bag’s limited carrying capabilities but this is actually my favorite thing about the bag. The bag’s main compartment can be arranged in two smaller compartments using the supplied padded divider. This is the latest addition to ONA’s growing collection of stylish camera bags and also their smallest bag yet. I want a bag I can have with me at all times - one I can pick up in the morning without giving a second thought and put down at night without feeling sore. What I really want - dare I even say need - is not a great bag, but a great everyday bag. Don’t get me wrong, I still love them for what they are and use them frequently, but I’ve given up entirely on the idea of taking them with me on a regular basis just in case a spontaneous photo opportunity presents itself. Lately I’ve come to realize that’s not acceptable.Īt this point, I think I’ve tried enough medium-sized camera bags to know they don’t work for me as everyday bags. I know this because no matter how much I love mine, I always find myself leaving them behind - and my camera with them - unless I know for a fact I’m going out for some specific photography-related activity. A lot.īags like that excel when used occasionally, but they tend to be a poor solution if what you’re really after is an everyday bag. The problem is a bag that can hold all of that is going to be too big and heavy for everyday use no matter how hard you try.
ONA LIFE REVIEW PLUS
For me, that usually means one camera and at least two or three lenses, plus some spare batteries, filters, and maybe even a flash. I used to think great camera bags should allow you to comfortably carry enough of your gear to be able to shoot in a wide range of situations.
