Had a V1 which was good, but the V2 is quite an improvement! Love the latch mechanism and how premium this bag feels. Definitely a really good hybrid camera bag :)
I bought this to use as a camera bag and to hold basic items when I am out all day in NYC or when traveling. It’s a beautiful and sturdy bag that holds all of my essentials.
It took me a long time to adjust to the Everyday Backpack. I was trying to make it work like a traditional camera storage bag, with separate compartments for lenses, bodies, and accessories. But I began to use it more like a two strapped sling bag and kept my camera built with the lens attached and then it clicked for me. As such, I use it more for my personal outings when I'm bringing my Pentax 67, a lens, and some accessories and not so much for my full working kit of two digital bodies, multiple lenses, etc. I got the 20L to make sure I didn't overpack and it's worked out great so far. My biggest complaint is that the straps are not comfortable for long periods because the pack sits kind of low on my back, even when cinched up, and the weight feels like it's pulling me back as opposed to riding on my shoulders. Also, I think the zippers could be a little more robust and smoother to operate, but overall it works.
