The
picture here shows the camera case with two catalogs of Tenba
quality cases. One catalog covers computer cases; the other
catalog covers camera bags and cases.

Domke
has a good reputation and their catalog seems to offer a practical
range of products. Domke is part of the Saunders Group, 21 Jet View
Drive, Rochester, NY 14624, www.domkebags.com. Another source is
www.loweprobags.com. I really like the range of options offered
by LowePro, especially their Stealth Packs.
Tenba
is another manufacturer of bags for carrying cameras and computers.
Their nice bags have arrived for evaluation. My partner Andrea inspected
the computer bag and immediately wanted to take it for herself.
This Tenba bag has several aspects that I like, but I will describe
the computer bag in one of our web sites that discusses computer
equipment. The present web site covers camera bags.
The
Tenba camera backpack that I elected to evaluate was the largest
model that would legally fit under the seat of an airplane, or more
likely, that would fit into an overhead rack. It is well padded
and so far it survived its first jungle expedition quite well (TV
documentary on discovering lost cities of the ancient Maya civilization
in Guatemala).

Tamrac
camera bags at Photo East tradeshow

We
are many months behind in reviewing products due to the quantity
(and quality) of the items that have been arriving weekly for evaluation.
We will discuss the Tenba series of bags in more detail on our next
expedition to Central America. At the moment we are at our office
in Germany.
Overall
the selection and options offered by Tenba is larger than any other
company. This means you are sure to find precisely what you are
looking for in one of the Tenba catalogs. I visited the Tenba booth
at Photokina and got to meet the person who designs all the clever
features into the bags, their president, Robert Weinreb. Their informative
web site is www.tenba.com. TENBA
