Tenba P-750 Pro Pak™ Camera Bag

Tenba P-750 Pro Pak™ camera bag photographed by a Nikon D2Xs and a Nikkor-H Auto 85mm f/1.8 lens. The bag appears in the Tenba catalogue for 1980-81. The D2Xs was launched in 2006, although mine came well-used in 2011 and is much more well-used now. The 85mm lens dates from 1971, using its serial number as a guide to its age.
The company stopped using the wonderful logo which read the same when the bag was turned upside down (though it is not advisable to verify this when the bag is full of kit). Many people thought the bag designation was 'Tenba Equa'; maybe that is why the logo was dropped.
It's a good bag with stylish front pockets and unusual hardware. The cloth is called 'Cordura' and is a hard-wearing synthetic material which looks like cotton canvas but feels quite different. After complaints from users that the bag had worn a hole in their clothing, Tenba added a soft pad to the back to make it a fairer fight. It was claimed that the cloth was waterproof, but even if that was so, the design of the bag where the lid met the lower section was a weak point for horizontal rain to gain ingress.
The lid has a heavy-duty zip with two pulls all the way round and is designed to contain a big supply of film.
