I also have the Luma 18 in rust, and I really like the bag. The color is a refreshing change from basic black and the bag is like Dr. Who's Tardis, small on the outside but cavernous on the inside. This one can easily match any of the 21 or 22L bags I've tried. I also need a bag that has room for other things besides my gear. I Lean towards minimal with my equipment, but a couple lenses start to add up. I put the following in my Luma, Fuji xpro3, 16-80 zoom, 55-200, my fuji 27mm and 35mm lenses. That and batteries cables etc. This is way more than I'd normally carry but I still had room on top for a t shirt, shorts, socks and phone. Even then I had room to spare. There are some rooms for improvement, the bottle holder is too small. Honestly, I'd rather have another storage pocket in its place. More pockets would be nice. The shoulder straps are pretty good, but Shimoda's urban explore straps are next level in comfort. With the Luma, if you don't wear the chest strap the shoulder straps tend to slide out making it decidedly less comfy. The little accessory strap thing seems like a 5-minute afterthought. But as a whole this is the best of many backpacks I've tried.
great review, only thing that I think is missing is a rain fly, I've purchased 6L slings that come with a rain fly, never know when you might get caught in a downpour :)
Hi there! Got a question.. I don't know if you own a 70-200 Lens but.. does it fits in the McKinnon Sling bag if u put it right in the center of the bag in vertical position?
A few years ago I bought a Birkin bag and take it with me everywhere I go. I worry about it getting stolen or damaged, so I'm worried when I go out. I was tired of this mental burden, so I bought the kislux bag.
My gripe is there is no place for a water bottle if you take a tripod. If you have the tripod on the back you have to move it when you put the pack down to unload it. I wish they would have ditched the side access for a water bottle holder. We all need water.
I honestly dont understand why most camera bags are marketed as "everyday" camera bag when 90% of the compartment are dividers for camera equipments and the remaining 10% can barely fit daily essentials like headphones, powerbanks, notebooks and etc. Why dont they make a 50/50 or 60/40 and call it an everyday?
The way I learned to read it is "everyday camera bag" and not "everyday + camera bag". It's a camera backpack that's meant for light camera gear for everyday use but not a backpack for your everyday item carry. But yeah agree with your point. Height of items is usually a limiting factor for me when I throw dividers in. Hard to get stuff like a steam deck in these bags.
@@soro_pureiya Thank you for the good explanation, appreciate it. Now i understand the meanings behind it. Same cause here, trying to fit my nintendo switch lol
The best review on this back pack i have seen! Great stuff Kyle!
Huge Nomatic fan- I have their travel bags, slings, and checked bag. Amazing products
Great video 👏
The best review of the bag. Thanks!

These new Luma bags remind me of fridges from the 50's...🤣
Built in gear cooling 🤣
Great review, thanks! Just ordered my Stone Luma backpack, been looking for a small and easy to access day backpack for years.
I love mine!
Thanks for the great video!

Definitely. I think Nomatic told me they will be making the available for the 18L
Hi Kyle can you tell me where did u get that Sony Skin for your camera. Do they have this skin also for the A6000 Line ?

Hi there! Got a question.. I don't know if you own a 70-200 Lens but.. does it fits in the McKinnon Sling bag if u put it right in the center of the bag in vertical position?
@@tanner.quintero you would have to move around all the dividers but yes it would be possible
Would you get the Sony 200-600 vertical in it?
I dont have that lens to test out if it fits

I love the color scheme😊.
appreciate the content, cool bag. but never love it when there are no downsides mentioned in a review.
will this fit a Sony body with Sony 70-200 attached in the side access area?
Yes. You would need to just move the one divider but I fits well
Sick bag 🔥
Great Video. Very well done! Way better than mine haha.

woo 🔥
First!!
Pretty big feature in the video….awesome breakdown as always. Good job dude!

Love Nomatic but, this new Luma looks like it's duck-taped together, not a good look
