Neat review! I have a Lower Event Messenger 150, and love it so much. Have had it for over a year now, and it's still as good as new. Only concern is the velcro getting weaker, just a little. I can fit a gripped 7D w/ attached Tamron 70-300mm VC (hood reversed), 24-105L (hood in place), speedlight, and accessories (batteries, cards, etc). Can actually fit a 600ml bottle in the side pocket as well! Downside is the weight, it's a fair bit more bulky (as the 7D is gripped), and I can't fit a tablet. All in all, love it. Would buy another one in a heartbeat.

I've just upgraded from Lumix to Sony A7 and the Messenger 100 I have has been insanely good - those velcro pads are really useful as you can change lens without looking, push the flap down and you know nothing is falling out. Also the colour is good in countryside settings but still smart in town, so you never look out of place.
Lastly, the build quality is excellent, I cannot believe how much stuff I packed into the Messenger 100!
After three years, noting is frayed, stretched, worn or broken and I've used it every other day!

Can the bag carry my VRC Sketchbook? or my Final Assignment Canvas? :X

Do you think i can fit a Canon 650d, 18-55, 55-250, and 10-18 in the Messenger 100? or 150?
And maybe a 50mm 1.8 stm

You should get your hand on a Tenba Bag too. I think it's more well design and looks better....

Put the camera in the middle and the top flap will go over easily with two other lenses in. Then take a pain killer and some anti-inflamatories and jump out for photography and breaking paving stones :o)

I have this bag, but I don't like it :(
