As a photographer and filmmaker, I use and access some very expensive equipment. Think Canon L series lenses, 1DX bodies, strobes, continuous lights, microphones, the list goes on. But when it comes to camera peripherals, it is not always true that you get what you pay for. There are some delightful budget surprises out there and this backpack is one of them.For a start, it is reasonably priced and it is much better constructed than my three pricier old backpacks by a series of name-brand manufacturers. In fact, this K&F is just as ‘pro’ as the main backpack I currently use to move between locations. So why did I buy it, you might ask, if I already have a high-end backpack?Well, my main bag is the much venerated LowePro ProTactic 450 AW. It’s become more popular recently due to lot of positive YouTube reviews. I’ve had mine for years. The 450 is a large, high quality backpack. The main zip is on the inside, which ostensibly stops thieves in their tracks. I say ostensibly because the 450 still has pockets at the sides which don’t stop thieves at all. So it’s not perfect. It also has pretty thin straps which mean that although you can pack the kitchen sink, you can’t carry it for long because the weight is not distributed well across the terrible thin straps. And despite what has been said in reviews, the 450 still looks like a camera backpack. I mean, attaching a gorillapod to it is a bit of a giveaway about the contents, no?When I don’t need to take the kitchen sink and I just want to enjoy the day, the 450 is total overkill. On those days, all I need is one camera body with an attached lens and, at most, a mirrorless compact for another focal length if I really need it.Enter this delightfully unassuming and immaculately built navy backpack by K&F Concept. The features are all quite obvious from the product images, which I’ve supplemented in this review with my own pictures.As you can see, the backpack has a protective compartment with extra velcro inserts which easily houses a Canon DSLR body and lens (the one you see is the 16-35 but it also houses the 24-70 just fine). It also leaves enough room for another mirrorless body or premium compact. I use Fujifilm X series cameras so I’ve put one in to show you how things could fit for you.In the other photo, I’ve shown you that a 70-200 easily fits in the top compartment with lots of room to spare. So you really could use this as your day-pack with a 16-35, 70-200 and a mirrorless body with room for lunch, a water bottle, a phone, an LED light, a notepad, cuddly toy, etc.As someone who has owned a lot of camera bags, the build quality of this K&F is the best I’ve encountered in years. The materials chosen are high quality, the stitching is excellent and there is no cruel, silly use of leather. The design cues are thoughtful, including pockets for your SD cards, a rain cover which goes over the entire backpack, and a tripod support buckle if you need it. The padding in the straps and the extra padding on the back (see my picture) makes the whole thing more comfortable under the same load than my main LowePro 450 backpack.Overall, this K&F is a fantastic day pack. It is light, highly capable and very well designed. It is not true that you get what you pay for. Sometimes you get a bit more.

I received this bag from K & F concept in return for product photography and videography, but I promise to leave my honest review of the camera bag here. There are some fantastic features to this bag, one being its versatility. The side pocket sliding out revealing the large space fits my Panasonic Lumix G7 with a Metabones Speedbooster and Sigma ART 18-35mm Lens attached in the compartment securely. It also holds my extra M4/3 lens, caps and a variable ND filter. This goes without mentioning the small battery pockets and SD card pockets on the side of the bag that zips up. The battery pocket holds two batteries for my Lumix, so full SLR batteries may be a tighter fit.The upper compartment of the bag holds quite a lot of extra space considering what has already been described as fitting. I fit clothes and a laptop charging cord and a baseball glove into the upper compartment while everything else was inside. The laptop compartment is large and fits my Dell, and will fit most if not all laptops.The bag, buckles, zippers, and handles are all so far so durable and only one issue has come up, the side compartment piece that holds the handle to the actual zipper came loose in my attempts to see how much equipment the bag could hold. It was an easy fix, just re-bent the metal piece together with pliers and the handle was back on in under five minutes. So as a heads up try not to pull to hard on the handle if it isn’t coming up easily. The bag is water resistant as advertised as I wore it through days of heavy rain in Seattle Wa.Overall, great bag. Fashionable, spacious, and conscious of a photographer’s immediate needs in the field and excels at making it easy to access what you need when you need it. Looking forward to seeing more products from K&F Concept.

Fast delivery, even though the order was sent from China.
The bag looks like it's made from quality materials, the zippers are working perfectly. Free rain cover included, which was a surprise.

I like this backpack, great from the space for a current camera with 1-2 lenses, my 16" MacBook Pro and diverses accessories. Just a little bit to small for my big block (Nikon D4 / Nikon D6). My all day photo backpack, discret and confortable for the city trips, thanks K&F Concept !
