ThinkTank Lily Deanne camera bag review

A few months ago the wonderful guys at ThinkTank Photo sent me an awesome Lily Deanne Lucido camera bag. Since receiving it, it has been my main camera bag at weddings and photo shoots.

The range of Lily Deanne bags are designed with female photographers in mind - sorry boys, they're just for us girls ;) They come in a couple of different colours such as black and chocolate and are made with high quality materials like full grain Dakota leather, YKK zips, high density nylon with a water-repellant coating and rare earth magnets.

The first thing you notice is the beautiful box it comes in.





The strap is very well padded, extremely comfortable and has silicone strips to stop it from slipping.




The interior has a beautiful turquoise lining with plenty of dividers and a pouch for an iPad mini.


There is a separate part at the front for pens, notepads, mobile phones and some memory cards and batteries.

On my first wedding in April (2016) I wasn't very used to it but I found on the day it was very easy to work out of.
On the weddings I've shot since then it has been extraordinary because you'd think that it is only for very little kit well it's not. It now carries a fujifilm XT-1, XE-1, an 18mm lens, 35mm lens, 18-135 zoom lens and my rocket blower to clean lenses. Another nice thing is that it looks smart, professional and doesn't look like a camera bag so it lets me fit in with the other guests.

At the sides there are 2 bottle holders which are also useful for flashes, LED's etc.



If you are thinking of purchasing a Lily Deanne Lucido you should as I said it's AWESOME ;-)
