OK... this bag is not exactly what your average upwardly mobile snapper would choose to enhance his image... but it is not such a piece of total c#@p that I'd feel happy chucking it straight into the bin However, that's where it's headed unless someone here takes it off my hands soon, as I sure can't be bothered with the hassle of the 'bay for the sake of the price of a pint and a half, less selling fees, etc

Bag saved from an untimely end, and will shortly be winging its way to a new owner- hope he gets good use out of it

Very glad it arrived safe and well, and that you are pleased with it. I seem to be permanently on the hunt for the ideal bag, but my current favourite range is the Thinktank bagsso I'll try and resist any further changes for a while
All the very best to you
Duncan.

I bought it on-line from one of the big camera warehouse stores at what was advertised as a reduced price of about £25- I haven't see them on sale since, so it was probably a discontinued line. It has been lying unused here for the last year or so, so it might as well be “let go”.
It is coloured black, with grey panels, and is the usual boxy shape, with moveable internal partitions, of semi-firm construction. It is in as new condition. Pictures here-link
Internal dimensions: 23cm wide, 18cm high, 13cm back to front. It quite comfortably holds my K7 with DA 16-45 lens fitted, plus a DA 50-135 (both lenses pointing up vertically) with the varible velcro partitions in place to separate camera+lens from spare lens.
It is quite well constructed: its outer layer is a tightly woven fabric that I don't suppose is waterproof. Inside that there is semi-hard padded lining all round, plus 2 movable padded partitions, positioned by velcro, to provide internal shielding.
There are 2 additional pockets: one on the front of the bag (see photos 1-3) is quite large,zipped, with space for spare batteries, filters, etc, and little internal pockets for memory cards; the second one (photo 3) is on the top of the padded flap covering the main storage space. It seems to be meant for documents or similar slender items. It upper side consists of netting, with a zip opening. It has a velcro closure tab. This padded flap functions as the top of the main compartment closed when the main top cover/flap (see photos 1&4) is left off, as in photos 2&3. The main top cover has a heavy duty quick release “fork” type catch- photo 1.
There is a “silver” badge on the front of the bag, with “PENTAX” engraved on it, and the lining of the top cover and of the internal partitions have the “Pentax” motif repeated across them.
The bag has an adjustable shoulder strap with a removable shoulder pad, and there is also a mobile phone pouch with velcro straps to attach it to the shoulder strap. (Both seen in photo 4)
Hopefully it will appeal to somebody at £10 (including postal delivery cost of about £5).
