Lightning Rider 12L Sling Bag - a premium-quality leather bag from Wotancraft

Wotancraft Lightning Rider 12L Sling Bag
In this product review I take a look at Wotancraft's Lightning Rider premium quality sling bag as the perfect bag for my next photographic adventure trip. I make a feature comparison between the Lightning Rider 12L and the Pilot messenger bags (10L and 7L). I highlight capacity the luxury features of this bag and also highlight the Xmas Gifts program that Wotancraft are running up until the end of 2022.

Thanks Mark! As a Sony shooter (and following your sony guides for awhile now) I got myself a black leather one as I found my main bag Lowepro Protactic 450 AW II crumbersome for some of the short day trips - your detailed sharing really convinced me to go for one. It is truly gorgeous and looks to be a worthwhile long term investment.

Oh no! Struggling between the pilot 7L and 10L, and now there’s another one I have to throw in the mix! All good choices, for sure. I’m thinking of a pair of lenses and a body. Lens combinations would be 1) 16-35 GM and Tamron 28-200, or 2) 20mm, 24-105, and maybe 70-350 APS-C or or 3) 100-400. Body would be A1 or A7RIV. Thank you for your excellent videos and reviews.

Excellent review - thank you. I am very tempted to go down this more minimalist way of photography, using Leica M10 and Hasselblad X2D, with prime lenses.

I'm hoping one day they will make a bag a few inches deeper. I'd love to put my a7Iv+70-200mm lens into a bag vertically.
