I love this bag!
What can I say, this bag is great. But as many said, this isn't a travel bag. It's more of as shooting bag, best for when your out in the field shooting, since there's no space for your camera only lenses. Great for wedding photographers. Also, the bag is smaller than I thought, I had seen a picture of it one another photographer and it looked pretty big on him.. I guess he was just short or something :) Don't get me wrong, its a perfect size, fits my 70-200 with the hood on.... I just thought it was going to be the size of a backpack or something..which would of been a bad thing :D .. It says it holds 4 lenses, but in order to hold for lenses they have to be small lenses. I carry my 70-200mm and 24-70mm and there's only room for one more L lens inside. I'm sure you can carry another lens on the outside. Again, its a great shooting bag... not travel bag.

Exactly what I needed!
I've recently downsized the photo outfit I'm willing to carry around, and have bought and returned several other bags trying to find the right one. The Boda, however, is a keeper - it's perfect for my needs.

I need to be able to carry a Canon 5D with battery grip, 24-105 f4.0, 16-35 f2.8, 70-300 f3.5-5.6 DO, and a 580EX flash (sometimes). I need a waterproof bag (sheds rain and spray, not necessarily submersible). I bought two extra horizontal dividers for the Boda, but really only need one for this setup.

First off, everything fits! The 70-300 and 16-35 (both with reversed lens hoods!) ride vertically in the bottom of the bag, with a horizontal divider over each, and the 24-105 and the 5d sitting on top (lens not mounted). The flash (in its case) fits securely in the side pocket, sticking out the top (it will also fit in the water bottle pocket on the other side, or inside the main compartment if I only have two lenses). Everything carries very comfortably, as long as you carry the bag with the strap across your opposite shoulder. The strap tends to slide off if it's on the same side shoulder as the bag.

Shooting out of this bag is great. The bag hugs your hip and conforms to it. Everything is right at hand. Without looking, you can grab a new lens, whether the dividers are in place or not. Drop the lens you just removed - with the lens hood on - into the empty spot in the bag - it's secure even with the bag open. The big pocket under the front flap is perfect for lens and body caps, and your spare CF cards and batteries are right there if you need them. Watch the videos on Boda.com. The bag really works as advertised.

Other reviewers, both here and elsewhere, have had problems with this bag that I haven't. The zippers are a little stiff, but they are waterproof and work alot easier than the waterproof zipper on my LowePro DryZone. I haven't had any problems with the D-rings or the connectors for the shoulder strap. Quality seems good to me. There are lots of Boda logos on the bag, mostly on the lining. The logos on the outside of the bag are subtle or embossed - you can't see them from more than 4-5 feet away. I'm surprised anyone has a problem with this.

This bag works for me- I highly recommend it if your needs are similar.
