Thanks will do, I know its old, but not seen one with those metal clips before.
 
I have what would be a more up to date version of that, with that type of clip, a Metro ll P839, it is a very similar style to that one.

My first decent camera bag in 1976 was a Tenba Tibetan ... they still make them like they used to :D

Very helpful thanks, so am I looking at a bag from the 70's?

No I do not think so, the badging on my 70's bag is different to the one in your shot, and has a different method of fastening. Plus it is a lot smaller, as bags were in those days due to smaller bodies and lenses.

I would guess that the one in your image is from the 90's, Tenba do have a habit of changing their range quite frequently.

The Tenba Metro ll that I use now and looks similar to yours was purchased around 2007/2008, the one in your picture certainly pre-dates that, but there is a strong resemblance suggesting that the Tenba Metro ll I have is an updated version of yours.

Thanks again Martyn, looks like its the Tenba Metro P859C :thumbs:

Its old but as new! Bought from a guy that only used the bag to store equipment. Not sure if I will be keeping it though.

It is indeed newer than I first thought, I do like Tenba bags, always have done, they were always held in good regard with respect to durability and looks.
