I find the Dalston to be the perfect light day pack for short hikes and city day trips! The DWR rip stop fabric is super durable and lightweight, also fairy water repellent. The side opening configuration took a bit to get used to but overall works pretty nicely! I carry an older Nikon D300s with a Nikon 35mm F1.8 and a Nikon 10-24mm F3.5-4 and lots of room for a extra layer and lunch. I definitely am very happy with the pack!
Outstanding bag and great experience with F-Stop
I am primarily a landscape photographer so my go to pack is my Duradiamond Tilopa. However whenever I have an engagment shoot with a couple or a quick day trip where I wont be carrying much gear including my tripod or drone case then I reach for the Dalston. It is ideal for the mirrorless body and prime lenses. As you can see in the photos, the Dalston has a built in ICU that is accessible from both sides. The dividers can be adjusted and I did need to adjust the one near the base of the bag as the compartment was a tight squeeze between the divider and zip. However I can comfortably carry both my Nikon Z bodies, a 24 and 50mm prime lens and my 24-120 f4 zoom lens. There is ample room above the ICU for another few lenses, a jacket, filter case etc I use the rear compartment for my laptop and there is also a front zip compartment for whatever you need. I usually keep batteries in here with lens cloths, lens caps etc The bag is comfortable and easy to travel with. I have used it on street shoots in Lisbon, Venice and Milan and it felt more than adequate. The straps are narrow enough to house my peak design clip for easy access to my camera when I'm doing very much 'run and gun' style shooting. Overall I would highly recommend this bag if you are someone who likes to travel light and quick, a street shooter or even a landscape photographer who likes to keep things minimal. Even saying minimal seems like I'm doing the bag an injustice when you see the gear I could fit in it.
Weight is everything, so the fact this bag weighs 1.8 LBs empty makes it better than most. It can fit a lot of stuff, including my M2 MacBook Air. I have used a Lokia UL 37L F-Stop bag as my number one carry-on for years, but this bag is small enough and light enough fit under the seat in front and carry a couple extra lenses and a body + all accessories. I’m currently shooting in Ladakh, India going to remote locations and this bag has really become a keeper on it’s first trip. The only thing missing is a tripod holder pocket and straps and it would be perfect.
This is my second F-Stop bag. I started with a mountain series and now urban. Great in all weather conditions. Couldn't be happier!
Beautiful, solid, attention to details. Highly recommended. Works well with my Sony mirrorless, but I beleive would be tougher for DSLR to fit in. The bottom part is a hive for gear and upper part for accessories. The side zippers are excellent but hard to fit in even small lens to the very bottom part of the protective hive of the bag. I do it all the time, but it is not very convinient.
The backpack is really light but quite sturdy. Efficient design and holds just enough gear + few extra things for the day,
Perfect for the Urban, less for everyday use (some more adjustable or closed compartments would be there), but a nice travel companion.
