Elmsford NY—Tenba expanded its Discovery collection of lightweight pro-level camera bags with the new top-load and photo/laptop messenger bags designed with active outdoor photographers in mind.
The Discovery top-load bag is a simple carrying solution for a single DSLR camera body with a midsize zoom lens; the Discovery messenger bag fits a larger multi-lens camera system plus a tablet or laptop computer up to 13 inches.
“In search of comfort and convenience, photographers are carrying less equipment now than in previous years,” said Jan Lederman, president of MAC Group. “All-in-one zoom lenses, tablets and ultraportable laptops are allowing people to significantly decrease the size and weight of the gear that hangs off their shoulders, and the Discovery top-load and messenger bags are designed to carry those smaller systems.”
The top-load bag allows photographers to carry their bare-essentials camera kit and is geared for day trips and quick photo shoots. The bag weighs 16 ounces and accommodates a pro-size DSLR (up to the size of a Canon 5D or Nikon D700) plus a zoom lens up to five inches long (e.g., 24-70mm f/2.8), with room for extra batteries, memory cards and other items. $69.95.
For those photographers who need a slightly larger camera system, the Discovery messenger fits a DSLR, two or three lenses, accessories and a tablet or laptop up to 13 inches. In addition, it has pockets, a body-hugging design and a removable photo insert so that it can be converted for non-photo, general-purpose use. $109.95.
As with all Discovery bags, both these new entries have a waterproof bottom panel for protection when the bag has to be put down on a wet surface, and they include Tenba’s WeatherWrap fast-deploying all-weather cover. tenba.com
