Filson/Magnum camera bags & backpacks

[noisycheese]

I am curious to learn if anyone here is using any of the Filson/Magnum camera bags yet ( http://www.filson.com/magnum )?

These look like outstanding bags - having used some of Filson's other pieces of gear in the past few years, I have no doubt that these bags are extremely sturdy and will last forever - or at least they will outlast their owner.

My favorites are the #70144 backpack ( http://www.filson.com/products/phot...ge/rucksacks-and-backpacks&fmetaProduct=1019/ ) and the #70195 McCurry Sportsman's Bag ( http://www.filson.com/products/mccu...Cat=true&fvalsProduct=luggage&fmetaProduct=10 ).

Any thoughts on these two bags?

Yes I just bought the Harvey bag at the Filson store in Seattle. Great bag that doesn't scream $$$. It holds my ipad and two rangefinders with a couple extra lens. I bought another Filson bag and stuck an insert in it. It's a heavier bag, and made of cotton and wool. The Harvey bag is perfect for me, casual, functional & with a lifetime warranty. The bags are very well designed and made with high quality materials. I sold my Hadley Pro, and Domke. I'm using the Filson's exclusively.

If you are considering the Filson's, you can't go wrong.

doesn't scream $$$.

but it costs $$$!

The Camera Field Bag seems very nice, but too expensive for my taste & budget...

I agree, they are not cheap, but how much did you spend for your camera gear? I did sell a few of my bags to pay for it. Filson will repair or replace any of their products forever, that is built in the price.

i am using the normal Rucksack with a Billingham insert.

works like a charm.

Not bad...

Less recognizable than a Domke and less country club looking than a Billingham.

Don't know if they're available outside of the USA but, given the prices and the fact that I already have a Billingham Hadley, Billingham 225 and a number of Lowepros, I'll stick..... ;-))
