Camera Lens Backpack for Photographers Large Capacity with Raincover - Backpack 25L Nature Wander 01 (Yellow)
SKU: KF13.128A
This bag is perfect for those you want a light weight bag to travel up mountains for those epic shots, room for camera, lens, filters, food (very important) and a flask of coffee. Handy little inside pocket to keep keys safe. I tested this out on a 25000 step hike in the lake district it was comfortable for the hole trip.

like that this backpack has a side opening that leads to the main compartment for ease of access without having to open the entire bag; it’s nice that the opposite side opens up with mesh pockets which are great for organizing cabling. I did not have any difficulty securing in my tripod to the side of the bag. Construction wise, I did not see any physical damage nor mis-sewn parts of the bag; all the zippers opened smoothly without jamming. The adjustment buckles felt very secure and they did take me a bit of time to get the position I wanted; my guess it that the bucking system is meant to securely hold a higher weight capacity than a traditional school bag. I do appreciate that the internal dividers are optional and I can custom fit the internals of bag to my needs; I love that a few of the internal panels are not too thick and allow for more carrying capacity. For the rain cover to fit over the backpack, I did need to remove my tripod from the size. From a security standpoint, I amazed that the outward facing compartment has a double zipper design; it looks very difficult for someone to pickpocket and this backpack has most of the zippers face inward. Overall, the only thing I would have liked on this backpack is an alternative or secondary mounting location for tripods; perhaps straps on the top would allow me to pack this in way to feel a bit more balanced. For me, the extra padding on the shoulders and back makes this comfortable backpack to travel with.

I was a bit worried that this bag might not hold everything I need for a shoot, but I'm pleasantly surprised to be wrong. It's a well-made bag with plenty of padding where you need it, plenty of openings to access your gear, and solid enough to hold its shape without any gear in the pack.
One great feature that this bag has adopted is the adjustable inserts. Depending on the shoot, I can adjust these to fit my needs. This is great for when I do sporting events, such as the local high school football games. I'll go more into that later.
Let me go back to talking about the openings for a minute. One feature that I love about this bag, and I'm glad to see more bags use this, is the main zipper being located on the inside (by the shoulder straps) rather than the outside of the bag (facing the world). To me, this is great for securing my gear while I'm carrying the bag...I don't need to worry about someone coming up from behind and try to get into the bag. This actually leads me to my first negative, which is the side opening. This IS a way for someone to try and grab gear and if you feel uncomfortable with that, you will need to take that into account.
Let's talk about size. There is a LOT of room in this thing. Remember when I talked about the football games earlier in the review? Based on how the compartments are configured, this bag can comfortably hold a Sigma 60-600mm lens. For those that don't know, this lens is pretty massive. You can fit it in this thing and still have room for your camera body and a couple more lenses.
One feature I'm starting to really like is the adjustable size of the top pocket. The bottom moves out of the way in case you need space, or based on how you configure the bag, can be used as a wall extension to effectively double the size of that pocket. Its a great option for further customization.
If there were any improvements I would recommend for the bag, it would be a place to strap a tripod. I've really enjoyed this option on other bags, and I am disappointed that this one doesn't have that option.
Overall, this is an outstanding bad from K&F. The positives greatly outweigh the negatives, and I would recommend this bag to anyone looking for one.

I was looking to upgrade my older bag as I needed a bit more room, and I decided to try this out as it has room for my laptop and can handle quite a few lenses, camera, and a few other things.
When I first got it, I was impressed by the bag's quality. It's worth the price and has plenty of room, depending on your configuration and need. I can fit my camera with grip, which can sometimes be challenging to find a bag that will work, two lenses, a flash, and still has plenty of room on the top and other slots of the backpack.
On my first outing with this bag, I took it to a theme park, where I fit my camera, one extra lens, a hoodie, and still had plenty of room on the top compartment for keys, chargers, extras, and a water bottle. It's also slim enough to fit in a locker for one of the rides. Although it was a bit tight, it was doable.
The key points that I love about this bag are the dividers. They're thinner than other camera bags I've used and stiffer, allowing you to cram more items into the pack. The size doesn't seem bulky or bloated, allowing for a comfortable all-day carry. There is also an expansion zipper that will give the bag a little bit more room, something I haven't seen in a camera bag. Overall, it's a great value considering the price.
One thing I could do without is the large logo on the backpack. I'd prefer to have something inconspicuous and not draw any attention to myself.

This is a great backpack. It is well constructed and looks smart. It does not scream, "There are expensive cameras in here!", it looks like a regular book backpack, well... until you add the tripod to the handy side pocket. The pack is well padded and will keep the gear protected.
There's a handle to carry it like a briefcase. The wide shoulder straps are cushioned and are easy to adjust while wearing to get the tension just right. I find the K&F backpack one of the more comfortable to wear fully loaded.
The front has an expanding pocket to add flashes, filters, batteries and such. There is more room at the top and a side panel. All made with quality heavy duty zippers.
One thing I miss are velcro straps to pin down the lenses.

I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked this pack, as I was not all that familiar with K&F's products. The pack seems very well made - the stitching and zippers are usually things that make a product seem cheap, and they are both quality. The materials all seem durable and the pack is actually quite comfortable. I've not worn it for an extended period of time but the shoulder straps and back padding are both very comfortable. The pack has a ton of storage - more than I need to be honest, but that's not a bad thing at all. Full disclosure; I use APS-C cameras and lenses so if you're running full-frame with tele lenses you're going to have a lot less space, but should still have enough. My only knock would be that I wish there were one or two more dividers included, just for small APS-C cameras/lenses.

I got this as an alternative to a much larger camera bag that's just way bigger than what I need for quick photo shoots. This one is the perfect size to use as a photography "go bag", with a good variety of pockets and compartments for small items and accessories.
The main compartment can be configured in multiple ways using the padded Velcro dividers. The laptop compartment is very roomy, with plenty of space for my MacBook Pro. I especially love the fact that one of the side zippers provides access to the main compartment, so I keep my primary camera body with an L lens there for quick access.
Construction and materials are very good. A rain fly is included and stores conveniently in a Velcro pocket at the bottom of the backpack. The buckles and straps are easy to adjust and the backpack is very comfortable, even when fully loaded with gear.
One of the first things I noticed is that even when empty, this backpack is somewhat heavier than I would have expected, but I attribute that to the very thick padding on the outside shell. That said, the padding does provide a lot of protection to the delicate equipment inside.
This backpack looks great and is very well built. It is a bit on the pricey side, but you get a lot of features for your money. Recommended.

Two thumbs up and five stars for this very attractive and overall very well made backpack...
Not for the big and/or tall parson but aside from that fact it is very well made.
It looks good and the straps are comfortable when pressed up against the body.
This would be excellent for students and/or short people.
Good day & God Bless...

This bag has so many compartments, zippered and pouches, and sectionals that are adjustable, expandable bag and shoulder straps. Everything is well padded. Is a labyrinth to figure out how you want to place your equipment in this roomy bag. Well made, good quality strong fabric and padded everything included the back pack shoulder straps. Can get to different compartments easily. And it isn't very large so very easy to carry around. Great camera bag. Nicely made and quality fabric used. Well thought out for adjustability of compartments.
