When we were in Vancouver, Canada a couple weekends ago I bought the Ona Bowery Camera Bag! In this episode I’ll show you up-close what the bag looks like and give you my first impressions!
Regularly on the Ona website the bag is $259 US. I bought this jewel at Broadway Camera in Vancouver for $309 CAD (before taxes).
The Ona bag has 2 front pockets, 2 side pockets, 1 large back pocket, and 1 main compartment with 1 re-adjustable insert.
My First Impressions:
The material of the bag feels good and high-quality, however, the bag seems to scratch easily (I do find this adds to the texture and style of the bag)
The leather will feel stiff at first but after a couple weeks of use it’s softened
The push clasp is nice for securing the bag instead of a magnet, however, it can be tricky opening and closing the bag with one hand
The bag is roomy in that it can carry all of my essentials, however, it can probably carry at most a camera body and 2 lenses
Sometimes I wished it had a top handle for easy picking up and putting it in the car
You can “make shift” carry a tripod by inserting the camera bag strap in-between the tripod legs and resting it horizontally on the bag, however, doing this makes it hard to access the bag
P.s. this post is not sponsored by Ona! I have wanted this bag personally for a long time and bought it with my own money when my fiance and I visited Vancouver, Canada.
