When I’m not toting a laptop in this bag, I often carry files and folders, which also fit nicely into the slot. Personally I don’t see myself taking it out. Didn’t expect a laptop slot did you? Well it has one, and it’s removable via Velcro if you don’t want it in there. Instead, soft padded cloth lines the entire interior which is ideal for storing cameras, lenses and a 13-inch laptop. The inside of the bag is not leather, which is a welcome sight. It looks great, but can stick out and poke you when reaching down quickly. My only issue with the straps is that the belt buckle faces up, which makes the middle fastening clasp point upwards. They are adjustable, which is really great considering I can sometimes overstuff the bag (like when I need to stow away a sweatshirt). The belt clips wore in the fastest, as you can imagine, as they see the most use. There are two side pockets as well that are pretty small and likely will hold only one small object per pocket, or a handful of batteries. It is here that the bag feels the most stiff and needs to wear quite a bit before it stretches and moves with whatever you decide to place in there (for me it was audio equipment like a lav mic and headphones). There are two front pockets underneath where the top flap will clip down that are made of leather on the outside with a tightly woven rugged cloth inside the front flap of the pouch. ![]() After about three weeks of wearing it extensively, it feels like it is going to age extremely well. As you wear it, however, it quickly loosens up and contours to your personal use over time. Out of the box, as expected the bag felt a little stiff. It’s a great color that doesn’t scream “leather” but still feels like that belt you love that you’ve worn in over the past few years. The Brixton I am reviewing is the new dark truffle color, which looks almost black in the images online, but is closer to a very dark brown. The entire exterior, including the strap, is made of high quality gorgeously crafted leather. The Brixton series are beautiful leather bags with metal clasp accents that looks like something out of an Indiana Jones movie on the outside while being well-padded, modular and thoughtful towards a photographer on the inside. A magazine pocket along the back of the bag offers just enough room for a tablet.ONA describes their mission in bag design as “to provide camera bags and accessories that complement your life and style.” That means it should function both as a great camera bag, but also as something you would want to wear while out and about. Four removable dividers make it easy to customize the Brixton to suit your needs, while two front pockets provide room for your lens caps, batteries and small personal items. It’s made with a water-resistant waxed canvas and detailed with full-grain leather, the Brixton camera bag is designed to protect a camera and up to three additional lenses plus the laptop. I sometimes swap out one of these larger lenses for the smallest of my tripods (a MePhoto that measures only 9 inches in height). It is large enough to take a 13inch Macbook Air and lenses as large as the FE70-200F4 G and 90mm Macro. The Italian handcrafted and quality finish compliments the quality of the Zeiss and G lenses I carry. It doesn’t shout out that it is a camera bag and has beautifully slim and small profile. ![]() The ONA Brixton, however, is a perfect compliment for the Sony Mirrorless systems when out shooting for half a day. I own quite a few camera bags and I believe there is no perfect camera bag.
