Good choice…… I find mind useful as a "man bag"….take it with me whenever I go out…..camera, couple of primes…..phone….etc…..and can also fit in camera and 4 primes and flash or a couple of longer lenses. It actually looks quite "metro male". Only downside is the velcro "screech" when you open the flap.
I also find accessing the bottom compartment easy. I also recommend ditching the camera neck strap and getting a wrist strap…..the wrist strap slips over your wrist as you get the camera out and gives you all the required drop perfection you need. You can also dangle the camera if needed whist getting/putting away a lens.
In the end though, I reckon you need 3-4 camera bags for different purposes!
