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.

[shuttertalk]

Sorry guys, my bad - been busy busy. I'll have the 2nd review up by end of the week.

[Paul.R.Lindqvist]

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 ?
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

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

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.

[Robertjm]

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

[shuttertalk]

Working on it now...

[Paul.R.Lindqvist]

I'll just keep my mouth shut until the the review is up (regarding the T-212)

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

/P.L

[shuttertalk]

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.

[blacksmp]

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.
