- My mate David Irwin dropped by with his Ona Bowery. Check out David's work at davidirwin.ie. We compared it to my mega gear (Ugh!) bag which is quite similar.

Ist the Ona bag the TRUFFLE version?
Good watch. You can tell Sean really wanted the ONA
And that David would've been happy with the Megagear. It's still my day to day bag.
after like 8 years of pondering i bought the ona bowery in cognac last year and the dark truffle this month. love them. the quality and look are incredible. i may buy the megagear in black at some point because i don't think that colour would look so cardboardy. great video. thanks :)
They've changed how the bag are now, the Torres series are the equivalent now. They sent me a more upright version that I should do a video on.
@@lightroomblog that's great to hear! :D
Sean - Wow, you look great! Keep up the good work focusing on your health! - Casey
Hey Casey, I'm not really doing much TBH. The changes were all made slowly. I'd say 90% of it was removing sugar and walking more.
Liked the vid… great comparison.
I'm still using this bag all the time.
I think ONA should not have changed the inside from leather to canvas, especially since the bag did not become more affordable for it...
hi, do you reckon it can fit in two a7iii bodies with small primes fitted, in either of the bag?
You may need to take the primes off, but I would say yes.
Do you think I could fit a iPad Pro 10.5” into it
Danyal Fryer Why not check the size of the bags on their websites? Use Google dude. But no, it won’t fit
What size iPad is that in the megagear? I have an 11” iPad Pro, do you think it’d fit? Great review by the way!
Nah.. it's a mini 4. I've a Think Tank Retrospective 30 with the sand/leather mix for when I need a larger bag. Though I could and should do a video on what I have in bags, and each pro and con. I've a bag problem.
Hi mate, the ONA strap also is vulnerable at the spot where the strap meets the brass buckle.
Good to know, thanks!
Not accurate information
Forget about the presenters and their antics. I want to see what's inside those bags and how they're organized for action.
Next.
Well right now it's an X-T5, 56mm II, 33mm and 16-80 with an iPad Mini 4. But it varies depending on what I'm doing.
But the ona is three times the price!
But it's so gorgeous.. and the leather is so much better.
Great comparison on the bags. What color is the ona bag? Thanks guys !
Marlon Iraheta think it's called 'dark truffle'
I have an Ona Brixton and as much as I like the quality of the materials and the look, I think its a very flawed brand. The prioritise form over function way too much in their products.
Just a few examples:
Their pockets are jokes. Even on their larger bags they are too flat to hold much. Its pretty much wasted space.
There is no waterproofing - which is a big miss for such an expensive camera bag. If the leather soaks through (and leather does soak through) your gear is exposed to all that moisture everywhere.
The ergonomics range from bad to none-existent. The strap is made in such a way that it has very limited adjustability: having the adjustment loop on only one side and having a none-removal should pad means that you have to leave it very long.
Ona under-treat their leather. I think its intentional so it gets that vintage "distressed" look quickly, but it leads to way too much wear and tear. I would advise anyone who buys an Ona leather product to learn how to condition and treat leather and put an hour aside before using it.
The list could go on and on...
Ironically the Megagear has a loop both sides, and I really do prefer the open pocket for my iPad. While I did recently get a roll top bag that's more like a hiking bag, this little bag is still my goto bag.
@lightroomblog
Hello :)
I am glad that you read and replay even after 5 years or so. I have a question for you if it is not a problem.
After this 5 years, do you reccomend this bag for daily carry, mainly city?
I like the classic look of the Megagear bag, and i prefer this open front pocket - apart from the price this one thing disqualified the Ona bag for me.
I want to store there a Fuji X - T3 with some 23mm f.2 and maybe a spare lens (e.g. fuji 16-80 / 18-135 - haven't decided yet), and some wallet, a5 notebook, a pen, and maybe a bottle of water. I guess it is more than easly storable inside. I do like care about my leather shoes, so i think it would not be a problem to take care of leather bag with some creams etc.
It's more than capable of doing that. You'd need to have the bottle on one side and the bend the flap around, but I've done it often. I can't vouch for the current batch, but the Torres they sent me was nice. I just prefer this version.
Why support companies that rip off other brands?
So you watched the video right?
Definitely- but you purchased the bag and created a video about it, right? Am I missing something? At least 5 of their designs are ONA rip offs.
I don't get bags like this, when did the trend begin? They look a bit like woman's handbags from the 80's! lol
What's wrong with it? They look really classy.
@@DeadGlassEyes What's right with them? What's wrong with a plain old tough and functional black bag? are we really gone so fashion conscious that our bags need to be 'hip'? Some of these 'retro' bags cost 3x what a decent, rugged, non-attention grabbing bag costs too. I see someone spend £300 on what looks like an old leather school bag with very limited space inside and I see a sucker.
@@Cagey7531 That's just your opinion though. Same goes for me - just opinions. I like having 3 bag options. I know it sounds a bit obsessive but I use all three depending on the day and the kind of shoot. I have a small bag like this when I just go out for causal shooting - just a body and 2 lenses are enough. Something light but looks good. Yes, I think it looks great, and most importantly, it also doesn't scream "CAMERA BAG"
Second one is a messenger case when I need to stuff a tripod at the back and need to carry my laptop around, too. Third option is just a good old sturdy as hell camera backpack, one that takes pretty much anything you'd ever want to stuff in there.
There's a market for everything, it's just a camera bag, relax. I like how it doesn't draw attention, and I am a bit sick of these modern camera bag designs. They all look the same.
Audio is horrible stopped watching.
