[Gray / Black] I am using it for my Fuji XT-3 kit, the kit fits but it is snuggled I should have purchase the Cooper 8. Beside it small size the quality is top. Just a few words about B&H service, I had an issue with UPS and I called B&H got a called back from them less then 10mn later, they solved the issue on the spot. I really appreciated my first experience with B&H and yes we will be doing business again in the near future.

[3.11 lb] I've tried many photography bags and this is my absolute favorite for casual street photography with my Sony a7 III. It's just the right size for on-the-go shooting.

[Gray / Black] This size of this model is specifically made for a mirrorless system, with just a walk about Kit. I would say 2 lenses tops. Alot of pockets for spare batteries, cables, and even space for a small water bottles. The leather feels like great quality and zippers are strong. I would recommend for street photographers, who may only use a 50mm and 35mm, camera body with no grip, a few batteries and memory cards.

[Yes] The Tenba Cooper 6 Messenger Bag is my new best friend of a camera bag. I always have a camera with me and this small bag fits me perfectly. I carry my Sony A1 camera on my arm with an extra lens or two along with an extra battery, lens cloth, notebook, and etc, as a norm in the bag. It is well made and tough, always ready for use and is very comfortable to carry along with it being extremely well made. This camera bag will always be in better shape than you at the end of a long day after working hard on a tough shoot where you had planned to travel light. The bag will have made it a wise decision.

[3.11 lb] I have taken this bag to France and India without any problems. The trolley strap is quite useful and it has a good width to it.
It fits my slim, 13 laptop nicely, and as long as you have notebooks or the camera in there, you won't have to worry about the floppiness I think some other reviewers said. It's heavy, but I can easily carry my laptop, Nikon D70 with its wide-angle lens attached, plus a zoom lens, a notebook, external hard drive, cell phone and other smaller items all at the same time.
Be careful with the rain/reflective cover because if you don't secure the velcro and the snaps, you might loose it. I'm a journalist and I found its versatility quite useful over the past six months. Looking forward to using it for several years to come - well worth the investment so far.

[Yes] Looked at tons of bags, and really lovehis one. Lot's of room for everything I need. Is more black than gray, but I got it while on special so it was a steal!! Love it!

[Gray / Black] This is a high quality bag. I've had many camera bags over the last 30 years, including a large rigid Tenba since 1997. So i know they are built to last. But I wanted a bag that could carry the 3 pro zooms comfortably, and give me access to them without having to put the bag down. This is what the Cooper does. I've had mine for 3-4 years. It holds a pro dslr (with grip) and 3 pro lenses (24-70, 15-30 and 70-200 or 150-450). And a few other things. It's very well thought out. The camera is very easy to get to, from the top zipper. There's enough padding to keep the camera and lenses safe, and no metal objects in unfortunate places (such as buckles) that could damage your gear.
I read some of the other reviews and have to disagree, as mine still looks new, despite the beach trips, snow trips, rain, airports, etc. If you get one of these, you should know it's NOT meant to be a rigid bag. It's supposed to partly wrap around your hip, making it more comfortable to carry. The canvas is high quality and also very comfortable to wear. The leather bottom keeps it clean.
It has a laptop compartment which i use for paperwork. Putting a loptop in there defeats the purpose of having a soft bag. You might as well get a rigid one and have better impact protection.
This is my go-to bag i use most of the time.

[Yes] Finding the perfect camera bag is hard. I spent weeks reading reviews and looking for advice. The Cooper 8 stood out early as the one I wanted, but I was concerned about whether my camera would fit. At last I finally gave it a chance (I have to add I bought it from Europe with the additional cost that entails - which is why I was hesitant). I'm happy to say this bag is amazing. It has a lot of small pockets, it looks fantastic, and the best part is the zipper and velcro system that makes me feel safe while being really practical. The only problem, and I knew this going in, is that it's on the small side. I have a Sony a7s II, and I can pretty easily fit it with my Batis 25mm mounted and the 55mm in the next compartment. There is no room for a third lens, but I've come to accept this as a good thing - I often plan my shoots, and two lenses should be more than enough to cover me while I walk around. The rain cover is also not perfect, and I would prefer it if it didn't come in a separate little bag inside the bag - it just takes up unnecessary space. It should be integrated into the bottom of the bag. If it weren't for the space set aside for the rain cover inside the bag, the camera insert could easily fill out more of the bag to make room for an additional lens (it's a camera bag first and foremost). These are minor details compared to what you get though, the bag is by far the most practical I've come across for those who want something light for a mirrorless and 2 lenses (maybe 3 small ones). I bought it for travel purposes and it will be perfect for this. The fact that I can choose whether to open with the silent velcro system OR the two zippers on top (you can leave one of them open easily) is what really brings it home for me. No other bag I've found has this extremely practical feature.

[Yes] The Tenba Cooper 6 Messenger Bag is well suited for a smaller mirrorless camera with lens attached and one or two additional lenses.


I have my Fujifilm X-T30 camera with a TTArtisans 50mm f1.2 lens mounted fitting perfectly in the Cooper 6 bag. There's still room for another lens in the side pockets, plus a spare battery and memory cards.


This bag exudes quality in its choice of materials and finish. All told it's a fantastic bag and hits all the checkmarks for a daily carry bag!


As usual, the service from B&H photo was exemplary. My bag was ordered and received two days later even in this harried holiday season. Thanks!

[Yes] I ordered the Tenba Cooper 8 for an upcoming trip and don't like traveling with a large camera bag. When I got the bag I thought I had made a mistake - it's soooo small. I managed to get my Olympus EM1 with a 14 - 150mm 4 -5.6 mounted, Leica-Pany 25mm, and the Olympus 12-40mm into the bag - it was a little tight! I've only used this setup for a couple of weeks but have noticed with use that it gets easier to access the camera and I'm liking the bag a lot. I took the handle strap in the bag off for easier access.
