Here's a short video showing how I fit all this inside the Bowery.

I don't always need this amount of gear, but it's good to have the option. But I can basically get all of the following into the Bowery. The leather version is a good bit heavier than the canvas one and as I said earlier, the purpose of this bag for me is to travel lighter on a day to day basis when I don't have a shoot that requires larger lenses. The Bowery can hold a lot of kit for such a small bag. The leather is thick and tough and the rivets and buckles are chunky and already look aged, which is in keeping with the rest of the bag. But if you want your bag to look as though you've been using it for years, even though it's fairly new, then look no further because ONA is definitely what you're after.īuild quality on ONA bags is fantastic, in fact I would say it's the best I have seen on any bag! The leather versions especially look as though they would last for many years, possibly out lasting me. The leather ONA bags are made to wear-in really quickly, so if you want one to stay looking as new as the day you bought it for many years, leather ONA bags are not for you.

I paid the £219 at The Classic Camera and resisted buying a Leica M6 (for now) while I was in the shop. I ended up carrying the Bowery around in it's box for six hours that day while I shot some London Street Photography with the X70 and X-Pro2. I liked the Tan canvas version when I was looking at them at Classic Camera, but I knew I wouldn't get it out of my system unless I bought the leather one.

A bag that is small, comfortable, carried just enough equipment for a shoot, and. They designed the Bowery line of bags for photographers looking for something just like I had been for years. The Antique Cognac looks good (it looks much better in the flesh than it does on the internet actually), but I loved the look of the Dark Truffle leather version. ONA is a company that not only understands the need for a stylish camera bag, but they understand that looks only go so far if the bag itself is junk. I kept coming back to the Bowery and was drawn to the leather versions especially.
