I'm not sure how practical the spin-it-around idea is. They make it
look easy in the video but I don't think I'd chance it with five
primes plus the camera body plus accessories in there. Maybe someone
on the List will buy one and let us know how that works. Anyway, you
can still lay it down on the front to access the contents same as the
one that I purchased and it does carry a good price.
The other bag, the Fastback, is even more limiting I think. You can
swing it to the front and gain easy access to the body and attached
lens plus some accessories but all the other lenses are inaccessible
unless you also open the front in addition to the side which, I
think, means taking the bag off and laying it down. That's the
reason I said in a previous message that I think, for my use, it
would make a good "city" bag where I would only be needing access to
the body and attached zoom lens.
Later,
Johnny
