Does anyone have one of these bags?

Looks very good for the money, has lots of space for my kit. I am going to order one on Monday just wanted to see if anyone had one and what they thought of it.

Or, is there anything similar which people can recommend.

I use the Commercial AW which I think is the next one up in size from the Magnum. I found them tough, and very well made. There is loads of room for the kit and comes with plenty of dividers to section it up.
If i had to buy another shoulder bag it would be the same one.
It does get very heavy when youve loaded it up with gear.

You wont be dissapointed

I don't know about the magnum bags but i purchased a Nova 5 AW a while back for a wedding gig as i'd outgrown my previous shoulder bag. Today i took it for walkabouts around town, inside was

17-40L
24-70L
70-200is (on end)
100 macro
50 1.4
1.4 ext
5D with grip
bits and bobs
all lenses had hoods attached and there was room for more, it was heavy on the shoulder and i have big shoulders!.
The strap and the handle felt very strong, my gear was easy to get to and it's alot cheaper than the magnum.

Looks like a lot of weight to have on one shoulder :shrug: :thumbsdown:

Cheers for the replies guys, had a look at a Nova 5, but not too sure.

Think i will stick with the Magnum.

Thanks

I was having a look at that tamrac 12 the other day online. Would you say it can hold a body with 70-200 2.8 vr (ie large lens) attached and body with 17-50/ 17-55 2.8 attached as well as flashguns etc?!
