The bag itself is lightweight, the padding is not the best but the ability to hold max equipment in smallest footprints make up for the minimal padding. In pic I was able to hold my Nikon Z6iii mount with 24-200mm, 70-200mm f2.8 Z and 35mm f1.8 Z lens with ease, normally I need bag that is around 50% larger to hold this much equipment. If I don’t need to carry the 70-200mm, i can even fold the opening to make the bag even smaller. K&F really know how to make good looking bag at affordable price.

I really like this bag for casual shoots. It holds my 5D Mark III, a few lenses, and some accessories with a little room to spare for days of simple shooting. It doesn't have the capacity for extensive amounts of gear, but I don't really need to carry that much on all shoots, and I prefer to have something lighter weight when I only need limited equipment. For the price, this is a very nice bag and I would recommend it to family and friends. It would be nice if there were a few more compartments and a zipper pocket or two, but I can easily get by with it as is. Five stars.

When I saw this camera bag, I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. Modern, but with that older retro look. The camera bag is made very well, with good padding, good stitching, and zippers that all work well. There's quite a bit of room in this bag, including pockets on both sides. The strap is generous in length, made well, and has all metal hardware. I think this bag is perfect for my needs, and I'm looking forward to using it more.

I’d been hesitant to bring my camera on some outings because my previous bag was just too bulky, awkward and uncomfortable to carry.
This bag appears to be well made and comfortable to carry. Attention was paid to the details.
It’s also stylish in a way that doesn’t scream “Expensive camera inside!”
Lots of pockets for all of the extras you need or want to carry.
Best of all, my camera feels secure and safe inside this bag.

I'm a big fan of K&F, I've got their tripods, lights, filters, lenses, cleaning accessories and more, they make very good quality photography stuff!
I got this bag to use with my Nikon camera, and with the compartments that can be easily rearranged, I can fit it as-is with the lenses in two separate compartments and the camera in the middle, or I can use just one compartment with my camera with lens already attached and have a spare to the side.
There's ample space in the front for batteries, cables and cards that's secured with two clips, plus a big enough area in the rear for a small Ultrabook or tablet - I can just about squeeze my 12.9" iPad Pro in there though 1/3 of it does poke out of the top.
The design of this is great, a nice dark grey contrasted by shiny brown accents, I love it!
Very happy with this, would recommend!

I chose this bag so that I could transport my SLR camera safely. I have tried a few other bags, but I have not yet found the right level of safety and practicality.
This bag is different, as it offers optimal protection thanks to the internal padding, has several external pockets and also looks good.
The exact interior layout is not predetermined and can be individually adapted to the camera model and its lenses. There are 2 pads included for this, which are attached inside with Velcro.
The size of the bag is suitable for a camera with 2 lenses. Other smaller items can be transported in the front outer pocket and there is also the option of taking a laptop with you on the back. Even a smaller tripod can be attached to the bottom of the bag using straps.
It is carried using a shoulder or hand strap.
Overall, a very good transport bag for an SLR camera. Despite its handy size, it offers plenty of space to store everything. The interior is also individually adjustable. The bag is robust, perfectly padded and well made in all areas. Therefore, I am happy to recommend it.

I have excellent long term experience with most of K&F accessories, so I was excited about this sling bag. It promised vintage and not so much camera-bag looks, and it mostly delivered on this promise.
First it comes well packages, in a branded box, so no worries about damage in transit. When you unpack, it seems a lot smaller before you stretch it and align the dividers inside; I was first worried I won't fit anything inside, but then I found out it really isn't that small.
The quality of workmanship is fine and materials appear to be durable. One big surprise is that even though the grey materials looks like a textile in the photos, it's synthetic, and slightly more glossy. Same with the straps, they appear to be a bit more glossy than I expected. Despite modern materials, it still looks somewhat vintage, and definitely not like an average camera bag; that's good also for safety, as you're not immediate target of city thieves. There's no flashy branding on the bag either.
The volume is large enough for one larger mirrorless such as Sony A7 III, one or two prime G-lenses, and film or digital compact camera such as Fujifilm X100VI. As you can see in my photos I prefer to put lenses or additional cameras to the sides, and then put the largest camera lens-down between them; in this bag this works well because it's significantly taller than the side dividers. In the additional pockets you can easily fit wallet, few filters, film canisters, flat COB light, memory cards... And you can possibly also use the bottom straps of the bag to attach tripod on the bottom, but I don't have such small and light tripod I would like to carry on a sling bag, so I didn't test this.
The main strap has steel buckles, and is very well padded in the area that goes over your shoulder. There's my main and only concern, however, as it appears to be lined with PU leather and in my experience in these applications it will typically start cracking eventually. Real leather would've been much better on such exposed place.
The price of K&F is still much better than big photo brands, so if you're after somewhat vintage-looking camera should or sling bag, this one is pretty great and I can recommend it.

Scope of delivery and packaging
The bag is delivered in a relatively small box, but is heavily compressed inside. The bag comes with a separate carrying strap, two dividers for the interior and a note on how to use it (which is unfortunately intended for a camera backpack and not the bag).
Structure / workmanship quality
The workmanship quality is good to very good. Clean seams, nice fabric, good fasteners and zippers. The zippers have their own extensions, which makes opening and closing easier. The straps are sturdy and a smaller travel tripod can also be attached under the bag. If you use this, however, you should remember that the front pocket is closed with the same fastener that also holds the straps for the tripod. So if you only want to get a spare battery out of the front pocket, for example, you cannot open it without also loosening the tripod.
Use
Great, the bag really has space. In the front pocket you can store the charger, spare batteries (camera and flash) and cleaning cloths / filters if necessary. You can (just about) fit a flash in one of the two outer pockets. And if you use the inside pocket upwards, you can store a DSLR (here an EOS 60D with a Sigma 24-70mm lens + a Canon EF 50mm + a Sigma 12-24mm + Sigma 70-200mm 1:2.8). But then the bag is full to the brim. A really impressive amount.
Conclusion
Great bag, even if you want to take a little more equipment with you.

Pretty decent camera bag with enough space for standard equipment. Well padded, can be adjusted to your needs. Easy to carry thanks to the comfortable straps, and the side pockets have enough space for batteries and spare memory cards or batteries for the flash unit. My new companion when I'm out and about for the newspaper.

This bag has lots of space for gear. Comes with a couple separators for the main area, and a flapped compartment in front for cables. Can easily store a mirrorless, two lenses, and charge cables. See included pictures for inside view.
