Does anyone have any experience with either of these 2 bags? I saw some reviews online, they both seem great to fit what I need it to fit. But I'm just looking for input from actual users.. what do you like or not like about your Kata?

Sorry Crumpler fans, I think I'm going to have to move from my 7 million dollar home.

Edit: Crap I meant to put this in Gears. I don't know why it ended up here.

I had the Kata 3n1-20 for a few days before upgrading to the larger 30. It's a great quality bag with lots of pockets and pouches for everything you need to carry. In all honesty I think the 3n1 system is a bit gimmicky as I find I only use the bag in backpack form and not the quick-load sling styles or the crisscross pattern.

What did you have in your bag? Did you have any trouble putting your gear in? I was looking at the bag at Downtown Camera and it seemed difficult to open.

I haven't had any issues. I usually have one body, two flashes, three lenses, a TC, and the rain cover in the lower compartment.

I was just looking at this question myself, although I'm just looking more between the difference between the 20 or the 30.

But it seems like this ebay seller has cheaper stock then most of the stores I've seen. I'm unsure of the reliability, but it seems to be okay.

Prodigital2000 on ebay. has 10,20,30 and the sensitivity

Looking at it though, the 20 seems to be more photo oriented. Sensitivity seems to be more general purpose.

My friend bought a Lowepro from Prodigital2000 before, he said he had no problems. Cheap AND free shipping to Canada!

I bought the 3-1/30 from prodigital a bout a month ago. Shipping was quick (free) and the bag was new/flaweless.

Originally I was thinking I'd pick up a kata 20 from the henrys photo show. BUt after looking at it I realized it didn't have enough room, and wouldnt allow me to grow. Unfortunately the show special was still 50$ more then what the ebay seller was selling it for - Went home and ordered it online instead.

I agree with 13inches - It's just too heavy with my gear in it to use the sling format so I have it in the backpack configuration.

I have a Sensitivity V and love it. I tend to carry around the following in it:
- one of: 5D with 2-3 lenses or 5D /w 24-70 with an XTI /w a 28-105
- 12" laptop
- misc accessories: filters, batteries, lens cleaning supplies, etc
