The Fogg e-flat camera bag
Today I decided to write up a short line on my just received Fogg e-flat, ordered 3 months ago from Chiif Cameras. - Mine was a Havana\Black colour combination.
First impressions
The e-flat satchel is large but in no means excessively huge. I ordered mine with extra laptop dividers so I could use it as my everyday work bag if I decide to do so or when necessary.
You could have the option to have your name sewn onto the bag (inner surfaces) at no additional costs. However it means you won't be able to sell off should you decide to in the future!
In place of the usual dividers (x2) + 1 trap door configuration, I had a laptop divider and two dividers of smaller width (additional costs) for my documents and stuff I bring to work everyday.
Above: with the laptop divider in place and the usual stuff I carry to work excluding the Leica M and lens (detached). It has plenty of room. My pencil case took a huge chunk of space (because the case was quite big)
With the usual divider (2+1 trap door) configuration in place, there is little doubt this bag could carry a full size SLR.
The e-flat was also less than bulky than the crumpler's mid size camera shoulder bag but offering larger space than the crumpler's offering. - a side by side comparison should be done in the future in this respect.
As seen below, the buckle seems to be made of solid brass! it actually has weight! you could feel the weight!!!
The bag is also stiff enough to be self standing.
Build quality 10/10
The build quality of this bag is way beyond any other bags I had (two crumplers and three lowepro bags). The quality of materials used and level of detail this bag has is beyond my expectation. As such, I foresee this bag would serve me for a very long time.
Leather reinforce the high wear and tear portions of the bag. The design of the bag is not only practical but aesthetically pleasing as well.
