Anyone have any experience with it ?

Thanx

Kindest
Paul:

I wrote the review of the Kata R-102 that is published here. I have also written an in-depth review of both the T-212 torso pack and the W-92 waist pack and submitted it to Shuttertalk for review/publication. It is scheduled to be published very soon on this web site.

In the meantime - any specific questions - please just ask.
Sorry guys, my bad - been busy busy. I'll have the 2nd review up by end of the week.
Ah wonderful!

Im gonna pickup the R-103 tommorow, and might get the T-212 if its in stock.
Main question really is if its big enough to hold a d2x with a 70-200 mounted ? Big Grin
my guess is no..

Iv been looking at the tamrac velocity 9 (used to own a velocity 7 for my d70) its quite hard to find in sweden.

Probebly still gonna get the T-212 since it will go nicely with the R-103 (you can connect the two right ?)

I currently own a Crumpler company embarassment.
Its a great bag, but its a bit small and it cant hold a d2x with a large lens mounted.
I assume the R-103 will do that (judging by all pictures iv seen of it)

If i get the t-212 ill post a little min review as a teaser to the grand one Wink

Hi people!

I went to the kata retailer in sweden today and picked up the R-103, t-212, and a their small mobile pouch.

I'll post some pictures and impressions later on. Im leaning on getting a velocity 9 aswell since the T-212 is indeed quite small.

will probebly give both the r-103 and the t-212 a test this weekend

I just bought the velosity 9. The cheapest I was able to find it was right

Thnx, i would like to find a retailer within europe union though.

So what was the verdict on the 212 fitting the camera and lense together? That bag sure looks nice and I've got a Canon 10D w/grip that I'm looking for a similar-style bag for.

Robert - I don't think the T-212 will work for a 10D plus grip. Too thin. And too short for the D2x with 70-200 mounted. This is a much smaller bag than that. My review will shed some light on capacity and features.

J :- posting soon???? I'd hate to be scooped by a bunch of mini reviews.
I actually had a chance to see one this last weekend. Let us just say that I was TREMENDOUSLY underwhelmed by it. Size aside, and I completely agree on it being too small for my needs, thin doesn't do justice to describing it. There is zero padding in the back, and try as I could, I didn't seem to get it comfortably on.

Maybe it'll work for others, but not for me.

Later,

Robert
Working on it now... Big Grin
I'll just keep my mouth shut until the the review is up Tongue (regarding the T-212)

Anyone know a good online deal for the tamrac velocity 9 within europe ?

/P.L
Shouldn't be long now... I've got a 2nd draft posted up for Rob's final OK. After that, it's all guns blazing. Big Grin
I found at least these....

ScandinvianPhoto might perhaps get it. The do carry Tamrac but the "9" isn't listed on their site.

BTW: Isn't the R-103 terrific? I got mine a copule of weeks ago and it is just perfect for me.
