Peak Design's unreleased camera bag tested!
|
Hello Reader, First, as promised in my email last week, a look at Peak Design's latest camera bag. A great ultralight bag that isn't yet available to the public but will be very soon via the Kickstarter campaign linked in the review.

And yet, nobody would say 300mm is enough focal length for serious shooting of either genre. Why the dichotomy? Focal length flexibility is the key. With teleconverters, you have: 300mm...
Hello Reader, Peak Design has been one of my go-to brands for camera-carrying solutions in the past decade or so. I have reviewed every bag they've ever made. Backpacks, camera straps, and sling bags have always been their thing, but many people wondered if they'd ever create a carry-on roller. Today is that day.
