Large enough to fit a DSLR with lens and either two extra lenses or accessories, the PB-48 holds a lot of gear. There are two dividers to create three compartments, and extra dividers can also be bought. There's a comfortable padded shoulder strap with non-slip rubber to help keep the strap on your shoulder, a padded carry handle, and back loops for attaching the bag either to your waist belt or the Kata S-308 sling system.

The top-loading system ensures easy access to your camera and there are no fewer than five pockets for stashing away smaller accessories like batteries. The amount of padding is good too with Kata’s five-layer Thermo Shield Technology (TST) providing protection for your gear against shock, vibration or impact, and there's a reversible weather cover to defend your gear against both heavy rain and bright sunlight.

Verdict
With enough space for a DSLR and two lenses, loads of pockets and lots of padding the PB-48 is a great solution for photography day trips.
