Build quality, design, usability

None so far.........

This is a great bag! Very well built with high quality materials. It's nicely designed for quick access and lots of storage - not too big, not too small. It includes a nice set of dividers as well. And it looks great on the outside - very inconspicuous and comfortable on your shoulder too. I especially like the zippered compartment on the inside of the top/lid which holds my Nikon SB-800 Speedlight with room to spare. The top/lid can be closed with a zipper and/or buckled straps. This is nice because you can leave the the top unzipped and secure it with the buckles only. This makes for quick access by simply unclipping the buckles and lifting the top. I easily store the following: Nikon D200 with 17-55 AF-S attached (grip end of the camera body facing up when the top is opened, 18-135 AF-S, 70-300 AF-S, SB-800 as described above, extra batteries for flash and camera, various manuals, battery charger and cords, cleaning tools, CF cards and extra lens caps. There's room for more. I have a SB-400 Speedlight on its way to me that will fit with ease - probably in the top zippered compartment with the SB-800. I could re-arrange the dividers and fit at least one more lens without it being too cramped. If I kept a smaller lens attached to my D200 I could probably fit even more. I did a lot of research (too much) and feel like I found a keeper. Hope this helps those of you looking for the "right" bag which can seem like an impossibility. It's a little pricey but it is well built. By the way, Focus Camera had the best price when I shopped ($140) and it was a good buying experience.
