ONA Brixton Review

[NicoM]

I was able to get an ONA Brixton in gray for review and I've fallen in love with this bag! You can check out the full review here:

So, you got your copy for free. I would love that too 😀

I picked one one last year.
It's big and roomy with lot's of pockets.
I use mine as an overnight bag or weekender. I looked a long time for just this sort of bag.

A Rolloeiflex, 35mm/digital and second lens, Film, Batteries, cards, 11" MB air +charger, toothbrush , and change of clothes.
Still room left for a book magazine, or whatever in the back pocket.

IMO it's a bit much for gigs or as strictly a camera bag. More of a photographers urban weekend bag.
It's a nice piece I would not consider another bag for the description I describe above.

Cheers!

I guess we have had a different experience with the bag. I've been taking this to class with me for 2 weeks now and it's been great.

Just horses for courses.
I love the design and flexibility. It's perfect for me as I use it.
When I'm on a gig I like something that sit's a bit wider at it's base so I can sit it down with the flap open and not have it falling over.
This one is perfect if it's always on your body and, you want a computer and a few essentials along to make it through the day and to the hotel.

I like the flap closing method, and the fact that the flap isn't as long as it is on some other bags. Looks like an alternative to a Billingham Hadley Pro. I do like waxed fabric as a look. Useful review -- good job -- ONA should be happy with it. You could make future reviews more theatrical.

If I had more money I'd get the leather one. Not that much more than the canvas.

I'm currently looking for a laptop bag, but while this one would fit the bill, it is out of my price range at this time.

Poor you - I guess you can't afford it. Too bad, really, I have a (leather) Bowery and it is lovely! I expect the Brixton to be just as good.

If I end up purchasing one, it's going to be the leather one. I, too, like the look a little more than the canvas.

I'm almost certainly getting one now. I like to try out bags before purchasing one for myself and I'm now convinced. I'm probably going to buy the leather version though.
