FYI, Kata was purchased by Manfrotto, and they continue to produce some of the Kata bags. I just went and had a look at their offering on their site and I think your bag might be part of the current "
Advanced" series of shoulder bags. It might be the same as the
A7? Have a look. If you found your bag the perfect bag for you, why not get the same bag again. Well... with the yellow Kata colours replaced by the red and grey of Manfrotto of course...
Actually, among my many bags (Lowepro, Peak Design, Thinktank), I have another ex-Kata bag made by Manfrotto (the 3N1 35 PL), and I actually find the Manfrotto version slightly better made...
hth, Wim
PS: my most used shoulder bags are the
Peak Design Everyday Messenger 15 and the
Thinktank Retrospective 5. I especially like the Thinktank Retrospective series as traditional shoulder bags, though I find the design looks better for smaller sizes. Thinktank has just released an update to the series that I'm looking forward to trying out... The Peak Design is great too, but it takes a bit of getting used to, and it seems the design is of the hate-it-or-love-it kind. I'm with the love-it BTW.
