While it’s not a large bag, the Bowery will comfortably hold a full-sized DSLR with a medium sized lens attached and a second lens along with a few small accessories. The padding that lines the inside of the bag provides great protection for your camera and lenses. The signature waxed canvas is weatherproof and has a sturdy feel, while the leather and antique brass accents add an irresistible charm. ![]() Simply detach the strap from the sides and the padded Bowery sits comfortably inside larger bags, keeping your precious gear safe and sound. ![]() It’s the perfect bag for frequent travelers who want an inconspicuous camera bag that also fits in their suitcases to protect their gear in- transit. With its unisex design, the Bowery will appeal to photographers and camera enthusiasts alike who are looking for a light-weight around-town bag. The Bowery bag is their newest offering and while it’s the smallest in the line it’s certainly one of the most versatile as it does double duty as a carry around camera bag and a larger bag insert. Incredibly stylish for sure, ONA’s fine camera bags are ruggedly built and combine form with function in the most practical way. It’s awesome.I’ve long admired ONA bags for their elegant yet understated look their line of camera bags combines good looks and functionality with a bit of old school charm. One cool thing that I love about the Bowery is that when you scratch it, it just looks better. It’s a super light setup, keeps weight completely, and I mean completely off my shoulders, and looks amazing. I attempted to get a couple extra portrait sliders for my money maker, take off the Bowery’s strap, and hang it to my left on the Money Maker, but liked having the Bowery behind me instead. I usually keep the clasp unlocked, with the leather flap down. Currently, I love using the 50mm f/1.2L on the camera, and the 135mm f/2 in the Bowery. My favorite setup is to using the Hold Fast Money Maker to carry my 5D3 on one side, X100S on the other side, and to use the Bowery as a bag to switch lenses in. I definitely can’t fit a grip on the 5D3 though. If I really need to, I can squeeze in an extra lens or a flash. On the DSLR side of things, I can fit a Canon 5D Mark III with 50mm 1.2 or 135mm 2.0 attached. If you’re a mirrorless shooter, this bag is perfect! I can easily fit a Fuji X100S, and a bunch of little accessories into it. Its strap is made of the same leather, and feels really good on my shoulder.īy this time, you’ve got to be asking what you can fit inside the bag. Sometimes I don’t even use any dividers at all. Some people won’t like that, but for what I’m carrying in it, it’s more than enough. The Bowery is made of Italian leather, with a very soft camera bag style insert, which is sewn into the bag. So I picked up the Ona Bowery, knowing that I would be getting a high quality item that would last a lifetime. When you’re shooting, I think that it is imperative that the photographer look good, and what he or she is carrying really matters. However, most of them looked pretty tactical (don’t get me wrong, I love some tactical stuff), but I didn’t want tactical for this application. The options that I had to choose from were many. I wanted to use it in conjunction with the Hold Fast Money Maker. I didn’t want to bring my gear in this bag, but just wanted to use it when I was actually shooting. I was looking for a bag that I could take on a shoot. Here is why I purchased the Bowery from Ona. I’ve purchased from many, but this review is focused on a pretty awesome company named Ona Bags, and specifically their small shoulder bag called the Bowery. There are a million and one companies out there that create camera bags. ![]() Sometimes you’ll need a messenger bag sometimes you’ll need a backpack. Not only have you struggled with that, but you’ve also struggled what bag to use in various situations. If you’ve been into photography for a while, you know that you’ve struggled with the dilemma of what bag you should buy for your gear. They should enjoy carrying it, taking care of it, using it, and knowing the ins and outs of their gear. I think that whether a person is a hobbyist in their photography, or a professional full-time photographer, they should love their gear. Some call it GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome), but I don’t mind. ![]()
