New photography bags come and go so often that you wonder how many more types there might possibly be to release. After all, how much is there to a backpack? And what is so different from one to the next? I’d argue that the right bag can literally make or break your shooting experience, yet there’s never going to be a camera bag that everyone will like, nor can you get away with having one bag for all situations.

Shooting in an urban environment requires something modern and unobtrusive – a classic bag that just happens to protect your camera kit. A wildlife photographer will need capacity for longer lenses, while a landscape shooter needs waterproofing to be a priority. You get the general idea, but I mention this because the Tenba Fulton v2 (I tested the generous new 16L size) reminds you what a good camera bag can be; functional without being nerdy, classy without being luxurious, roomy without being enormous and comfortable enough for a long day out. The Volkswagen Polo of the camera bag world.
