I have been asked if I will get another run of the bags done...
The answer is yes but as I don't take any cut from this I will only get bags made for UKNP members but a member can order one or more bags however they are responsible for paying me for all of their order on a single checque and I will only deliver their order to their address.
I need 10 as a minimum.
Email me by the 21st March if you are interested.

I do have a bag coming in from the states but not sure if perfect yet and may have one of these if it isn't (should be here next week!). I'm always looking for the perfect bag (I've had far too many bags now! ).
The last time the bag cost £140 + delivery.
I would not expect that they will have gone up that much. I will not know the final price until I contact the factory.
They, to my knowledge, will not fit a 300-800mm Sigmonster.
Paul, detail what kit below, they will swallow a 300mm whole but the side pockets are not meant to hold a lot of weight. See original post.

Hi Tom,
Checked out your original post. I carry too much gear for this bag!
It it is designed for a for a specific purpose to be long enough to fit super teles with their hoods mounted, ie 600 and 800mm lenses, not as a general camera kit bag - there is nothing on the market that allows these lenses to be carried with the lens hoods mounted ready for action
I bought one last time round (hell I can't see a bag but I've gotta buy it) and can say that it is probably the best bag I've ever bought. It takes the 400 with body attached and a 70-200/2.8 and a wide angle zoom and a flash with no problems at all.
If you have a long lens and do any wandering this bag is a real asset and well worth the money.
Mike, Paul - the bag will take a Canon 500/4 + 1.4xII + 1-series camera with hood mounted 'ready for action'. It was a modification to the original specs that I asked Tom to make... . I'm not sure if it'll take a 600/4 etc in the same manner tho' - Tom will be able to answer that one. I'd presume the next batch will be the same spec - but check with Tom. (You do have to be carefull when carrying or standing the bag with the kit 'primed' in that manner as it is quite tall & the c-o-gravity is high - I would normally reverse the hood.)
Paul - you really want to lighten that load... You might just squeeze everything in.
600/4 goes in with hood reversed but with converter and 1series body attached, is snug fit width wise on the 600 hood (widest part) the big side pockets are great for flash and batteries and there is room in the for another body and small lens (not attached)

This bag does look good!
