One of the fulfilling aspect of running is reviewing gear, specifically running shoes. Often you get insider news before the product hits the market. I get to sample first hand the product and get in hundreds of kilometres worth of trialling. On the photography side of things, camera bodies, lenses and bags are the most common gear to be reviewed. Writing about camera bodies and especially lenses take too much time and to me something that’s too much to learn up. Just shoot lah!

But bags, they’re much simpler to write and quite often, if done right, will provide the person shopping for one much needed info. Here’s an example of a gold standard bag review – well, technically, the ThinkTank Pro Speed Belt and Modular set are not bags. But you know what I mean.

The Pro Speed Belt was one of my recent purchase by the way, but it was made earlier before I came across this review.
