I'm a big fan of Timbuk2 products, but this falls waaaaay short. I ordered this to be an insert for a timbuk2 messenger bag that I've had for a decade and has been back and forth with me to Africa on numerous occasions. The bag is still in amazing condition yet I no longer use the bag for work, so I wanted to re-purpose it for my growing photography hobby. Upon opening of the box, my disappointment manifested. This so called "medium" thing is a flimsy thin-walled sad little package not sized to fit any sort of realistic camera system, yet alone a DSLR with more than one tiny lens; no room for filters or any other related equipment. A quick fit proved that it barely consumed more than half of my messenger bag, flopped around because it was too thin, and it was so poorly designed that were I to want to actually use my camera I would have to take this bag out of my other bag, open it fully, extract whatever camera body out of the one of four tiny cubicles, somehow magically produce my lens from the other (you'd have to removing one of the dividers), and then attach whatever straps or whatnot neede to actually use said camera . This bag is only good for a kid taking half of daddy's camera to show and tell in his Jansport backpack, otherwise leave it be.

Super simple installation, super easy to use and adjust as needed for cargo. It's exactly what we were looking for.

I did *not* receive an advanced reader copy as did most of the reviewers to date. I am a huge Mark Edwards fan and have read all of his books. This was my least favorite. The main character was almost unbelievable in her actions and I felt that the plot was predictable. A fast read and there was some good suspense, but overall not one of my faves.
