Urban disguise, first impressions

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

So after a few days, my first impressions of the Think Tank Urban Disguise 40.  I love it.

Part of that is the pack-rat in me.  There are a ton of pockets – you can’t open a flap without getting an extra zipper.  It’s extremely well designed for daily walkabout use, and you can pack a crap-load of stuff in it.  For landscape an wildlife photography, I’ve packed it with my Nikon d200, the old-style (meaning huge & bulky) Nikon 80-200mm lens (note on this: Nikon Rumors claims it has been discontinued – the price has fallen far!), a Nikon 105mm lens, my lovely Nikon 50mm f/1.4 (not the ASM, and I highly recommend you grab it!), along with my Nikon 18-200mm and my Sigma 10-20mm.

But that’s not all – it also carries my blackrapid strap, filters, memory cards, extra batteries, pens, paper, space for a few magazines…

I’ll update again in a couple of months, but it looks like an excellent carry-around bag.  The type that works well for urban photography, travel, and maybe even car camping.
