Tenba makes the best bags. Period.
But, when I outgrew my ancient Tenba2 bag (one comparment with a pair of
dividers arranged in a V; one outer zippered pocket;one open slip-case)
I supported my local camera shop by purchasing a very good (but
overpriced) Tamrac piece of luggage.
The Tamrac suitcase sits in my car trunk. When I leave the car, I pack
the Tenba2 with whatever I think I'll need (it can hold one body with a
lens mounted, perhaps 3 other lenses, film and minor accessories - I
could perhaps fit another body without a lens mounted...but I don't).
But...if I still subscribed to the ad magazines, I probably would have
mail-ordered another Tenba. The Tenba2 has a few minor rips and tears
ater 20 years of work in the field.
