Way overpriced, needs redesign:
A lot of wedding photographers rave about this bag. I needed a bag that would carry my 70-200 VR with the hood, a 14-24 and 85mm, plus SB900. So I bought the Boda with the waist strap. First impressions: A lot smaller than I expected (I bought the big bag). The 70-200 with hood sticks up over the cover. The 14-24 sticks up too high for the Velcro flap to work inside the bag. Worthless on these counts. The 85mm fits OK, but has to be put in sideways or will fall out. Cheap feel: The zippers on this bag are horrible. They require a lot of effort to pull and are not smooth in their action. They hang up a lot. The worst of the zippers is the one on the memory card pouch. This pouch uses cheap plastic covers and looks really tacky. The SB900 won't fit in the side pocket. It sticks out several inches and the flap won't close. Really poor design. I attempted to use the bag but found it very uncomfortable to wear on the shoulder. There are two worthless plastic D rings on the bottom that rubbed against my leg as I walked with the bag. I soon had a sore leg. I tried the waist band, which is very dangerous -- the snaps that hold the shoulder and waist bands in place are very powerful and easy bite the fingers/hand when putting them in place. The waist band was very uncomfortable. This bad is a real dud. Additionally, although the shipping on the bag was free, they nailed me with shipping on the waist band almost as much as the band itself. This is a bad deal. There must be better alternatives. I sent mine back.

First Impressions...:
Awesome build quality, great design, I haven't used this in "the field" yet, but it seems very, very well thought out and assembled. I'll write more after a few uses on wedding/portrait shoots!

Exactly what I needed!:
I've recently downsized the photo outfit I'm willing to carry around, and have bought and returned several other bags trying to find the right one. The Boda, however, is a keeper - it's perfect for my needs. I need to be able to carry a Canon 5D with battery grip, 24-105 f4.0, 16-35 f2.8, 70-300 f3.5-5.6 DO, and a 580EX flash (sometimes). I need a waterproof bag (sheds rain and spray, not necessarily submersible). I bought two extra horizontal dividers for the Boda, but really only need one for this setup. First off, everything fits! The 70-300 and 16-35 (both with reversed lens hoods!) ride vertically in the bottom of the bag, with a horizontal divider over each, and the 24-105 and the 5d sitting on top (lens not mounted). The flash (in its case) fits securely in the side pocket, sticking out the top (it will also fit in the water bottle pocket on the other side, or inside the main compartment if I only have two lenses). Everything carries very comfortably, as long as you carry the bag with the strap across your opposite shoulder. The strap tends to slide off if it's on the same side shoulder as the bag. Shooting out of this bag is great. The bag hugs your hip and conforms to it. Everything is right at hand. Without looking, you can grab a new lens, whether the dividers are in place or not. Drop the lens you just removed - with the lens hood on - into the empty spot in the bag - it's secure even with the bag open. The big pocket under the front flap is perfect for lens and body caps, and your spare CF cards and batteries are right there if you need them. Watch the videos on Boda.com. The bag really works as advertised. Other reviewers, both here and elsewhere, have had problems with this bag that I haven't. The zippers are a little stiff, but they are waterproof and work alot easier than the waterproof zipper on my LowePro DryZone. I haven't had any problems with the D-rings or the connectors for the shoulder strap. Quality seems good to me. There are lots of Boda logos on the bag, mostly on the lining. The logos on the outside of the bag are subtle or embossed - you can't see them from more than 4-5 feet away. I'm surprised anyone has a problem with this. This bag works for me- I highly recommend it if your needs are similar.

Boda Dry Bag:
The Boda Bag is great and can hold 2 big zoom lenses. Quality of work is good.
