Comfortable, easy access and discreet,
After trying a few box like bags, I looked for a messenger style bag that would be at once more discreet and efficient. The box like bags are more difficult to set up and waste space, unless you have tons of gear, in my opinion.
What I have in this bag:
D40 camera with attached tripod QR plate.
Kit lens 18-55
Lens 55-200
Lens 30mm prime
Small SB400 flash
Filters.
It all fits in perfectly. The D40 + 55-200 with the hood attached also fits in perfectly because of the depth.
Build quality is good and is comfortble to lug around.
Caveat: Other than the flap, there is no other, inner, cover. I.e. you open the flap and expose the camera. I was a bit scared at first, but the design works very well. There is a short tab on each side that helps contain your gear and makes sure nothing can fall out. This also explains why the carry handle is sewn to the back of the bag and not in the center/top.
Bottom line, everything is secure, but easily and quickly accessed, explaining why the name of this bag is “Express”…

|Good quality, smaller then exptected,
I needed a bag that does not really look like a Camera Bag, is small enough to carry around and holds my most important gear.
The Tamrac Express 7 came closest to what I wanted.
After the box arrived I was a little puzzled as to how small the box was but hey, it’s a soft bag.
The bag itself seemed a little small for my needs and I was not sure how I can make the stuff I needed to carry around fit. But to my surprise it fit OK. Snug but it worked.
Here is what I have in there (usually)
Left side: Canon 580EX Flash with diffuser attached
Middle Bottom: Canon 50mm 1.8 prime lens
Middle Top: Canon EOS 40D with Sigma 17-70 with hood
Right side: Canon 70-200L with hood
Various Memory Cards and stuff in the front zipper.
The overall quality of the bag feels very nice and it carries very well.
The reason I gave it only 4 stars is that I wish it was just a tad larger for todays SLR Cameras.

|NIce bag!, more then expected!,
I was considering between this Tamrac express 7 and crumpler 5 or6 Million dollar bag and I ended up choosing this one since it is almost only half of the Crumpler price.
This is a stylish bag that doesn’t look like camera bag, light, big storage room and lot of pockets for filters, cell phone, MP3..etc
Khaki color appears better than in the picture too.
I am able to fit
1.canon 350D with Zeiss Jena 35mm/2.4
2.580 speedlite flash
4.50mm/1.8
5 sigma 10-20mm with hood
6.canon 28-135mm/4.5~5.6 with hood
that is 1 body +4 lens + 1 flash !
this bag is way better than advertised. Highly recommended!
