One thing I would like to see different is the depth of the back pocket increased to fit an iPad mini just a little better. It’s just the way it goes when your bag is made from something that doesn’t stretch well. This isn’t a flaw placed solely on this Ona bag, it’s on so many bags out there. Maybe a lens cloth, pen or an energy bar. I say useless because they’re small and don’t stretch out much so it’s hard to get anything in there. Two under the main flap, great for small note books, light meter, filters etc and 2 slightly useless ones on the side. The Bowery has five pockets – One on the back for an iPad mini or notebook etc.

I was also slightly bored of walking around with the same old black camera bag and wanted something more stylish. I was tired of carrying around larger bags when all I wanted to bring was one camera and a lens.

This is one of their smallest bags designed for smaller camera kits, film, mirrorless and Leica systems. Finally, I was lucky enough to get an Ona Bowery in to review.
#ONA BOWERY CAMERA BAG SERIES#
Why didn’t I do this in the first place?! There in front of me was a series of amazing looking, fashionable camera bags for men! Canvas and leather bags in all different sizes and styles. Half a year later, I remembered Ona and looked them up online. The idea works, just make sure you buy the insert before the bag. Thankfully I got the Fossil bag at a good price from an outlet centre because I never got the insert, and I sold the bag. Plus, I’ve heard stories of their bags busting after minimal use. They’re nice, but not my bag (Get it? Awesome pun). I just wanted a camera bag that was also stylish and well, a Kelly Moore bag just wasn’t my thing. I had purchased a leather bag from Fossil at the time, but wanted to make it a little more functional for shooting. I remember looking for bag inserts (make your non-camera bag into a camera bag) a while back and coming across a company by the name of Ona.
