Crumpler

Tuesday July 17, 2007 at 04:32PM

It took a lot of thinking [well, not that much really, but certainly a lot of clicking], but I've finally decided I should have an Opulent Rooster. If anyone knows of any reason why I shouldn't, please speak now or forever hold your peace. Although... the Stripper Ripper does look pretty good in red...

Consider the name, other than that it seems a good choice. ;)

I don't like crumpler bags. No external pockets, don't sit well on the shoulder, and silly names. Try a Tamrac. Much more sesnible and also looks good in red.

Where were you before I ordered them? Ah well, too late. If they don't work out I'll try the Tamrac.

Baron von Beerfest replies:
Really? I read nothing but good reviews about it. Perhaps I should have searched with terms "bad crumpler review". I have to admit, the not having external pockets did bug me a bit. But I thought it's something I could live without. What exactly do you mean when you said they don't sit well on the shoulder? Are they not comfortable when you are carrying a lot of weight?

Miss HP says:
But why live without external pockets? I couldn't. Think about reaching for your phone/keys/memory cards/filters and how much easier that is when they're within easy reach. The strap seemed to be stitched onto the bag at such an angle that caused the bag itself to stick out awkwardly. And the strap was made of a shiny material that frequently slipped off my shoulder.

... but all those can go in my pants pockets with the exception of filters, which I rarely use anyway. Slipping off the shoulder would be a big problem. I'll have to see what it's like when it arrives.
