Tenba P 263 any experience?

[Ed Cordes]

I am contemplating buying this Tenba 263 bag for my gear.  I will soon have a 500 f4 IS along with my 100-400 and 10D and 1DMK2.  Does anyone have any experience with this bag?  It seems well priced and looks well made.

Thanks for your input

It has a lot of space.  But that space is a little hard to use.  (Probably perfect for those lenses.  I found the pack to be too deep for most of my stuff.  Meaning I had to stack things.)  The pack tends to put a lot of stress on your shoulders and lower back.  Okay for a few hours but not a lot more than that.

Oh, and the seam around the zipper gave way after a year.

I replaced mine with a Kata that wouldn't have enough room for your lenses if you crushed them with a steam roller.
