I've recently ordered this chinese copy of the NG 2345 bag.

It feels really well made, except for the brand sign "PISEN" :rolleyes:
I've had it only for a few days, but it seems like a practical little bag.

Here is another review of the bag (the original NG) http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=404062

on the front there are 2 zippered pockets for film or a small P&S camera (Oly stylus). 1 zippered compartment on the back for camera manuals or a notepad.

and it comes with a padded insert, with not very practical but usable dividers.

And here are a few pictures with some lenses and a camera stuffed in. I've used the insert and dividers to separate lenses from rubbing each other and put the camera in the space outside the insert.

I think I will make some dividers and use the bag without the insert.The insert itself takes too much space, but i think it's not necessary as the bag is quite well padded even without it.

That is exactly the same bag most probably made on the same factory as original NG's are, but with a different brand. They do it with many things, for example, with Tefal dishes, brand name clothes and stuff like that. The trick is that the quality is the same and the price is obviously lower.
