I bought the leather Ona Bowery about three years ago and it's a beautiful bag (it's better to treat the leather with a special leather cream or grease because the it is too "dry" and cream makes it supple and a little bit more water resistant). I knew it would darken as it aged, where the black would most likely fade, and in the end that's what pushed my decision toward the Tan. It's a great bag, but I really liked the natural look of the Tan. The black, although it looks charcoal on the web is actually a truer black, with a nice leather on it. I really like the black, but the grey didn't appeal to me at all. I've also looked at the black and the Grey in person. They can attest to the craftsmanship of the leatherwork for you, but you can't go wrong with an Ona period. I know there are some here that have the leather Prince and other Leather Ona Bags. The leather on the Brixton is darker and more supple, but I don't know if that's because it's more expensive, or if that's just how leather is. The tan on both bags is slightly different. It's much bigger then it looks when you start placing your gear. Before I got the X70, I carried the Pro-1 with 35 (w/o hood), XT-1 with 14, and the 60 all in the Bowery with some cleaning bits, two extra batteries in a pocket, another battery in a reloader on the strap, and a couple of extra cards and some Sunscreen in the end pockets. I loved this one so much, I bought a Brixton (also in the tan) for daily use, riding the motorcycle and carrying my laptop to and from work along with my camera gear.Ĭurrently, I'm carrying the Pro-1 with 35 ƒ1.4 (hood attached) along with my X70. I'm guessing the leather is an awesome bag, but I love the canvas. After using it for over a year, it's just now getting broken in. Is the canvas easier to use ? Which colors did you choose and what do you think? Do you guys have any opinions who have them. I can't seem to find any reviews on comparing the leather vs canvas versions. Hi I am going up to street foto and San Fran and need a good bag for my trip and workshops.
