This K&F sling bag is a very good bag for the money but has some limitations. First of all, the bag has moderate padding, and it isn't a bag designed to protect your gear from major falls onto cement or rocks. You can add some padding to meet your needs. The rigid divider has some flexibility, but I was tempted to try some dividers instead but ended up using the divider included to create three interior compartments. The overall construction is excellent considering the price and the bag is comfortable to wear. Another advantage is that the bag doesn't look like a high-end camera bag with a well-known name that screams "expensive gear inside…. steal me!"
I purchased the bag with the intention of creating a lightweight bag for my Olympus M10 Mark iv with Fotodiox grip attached and smaller lightweight lenses (14-42 kit lens, Panasonic 15mm prime, Oly 45mm f 1.8 prime, and Oly 40-150 mm kit lens). The bag easily holds that gear plus other accessories. I could easily carry a small flash in one of the pockets and there is plenty of room for batteries, filters, cleaning supplies, etc.
I wanted to be able to have two different bags ready to go, one for casual walk around and/or traveling trips and another bag for my high-end gear for nature photography, studio type work, etc. I wouldn't consider the bag suitable for my Oly M10 Mark iii and Pro 2.8 12-40 mm and 40-150 mm lenses, and I would want a bag with better padding for that gear. But the bag proved to be a workable solution for a lightweight grab and go bag!
K&F should consider making a slightly different version of this bag with better padding (especially bottom and top panels) and the divider should have more padding incorporated. They should also enclose some traditional type pads for replacing or augmenting the Origami inspired divider. It would have to cost a little more but would make the bag more appealing for photographers that have pricier gear and/or use their gear in situations where more protection is needed.
I may sound a bit critical, but I am happy with this bag and it works well for what I wanted to accomplish. It's certainly a very good bag for the price and can be adapted for various types of gear and/or personal stuff. K&F offers a lot of very nice gear, and I already own one of their carbon fiber tripods. I will be looking at some of their other bags for my pro gear and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the company for camera gear.
10/6/2025 Update: I ordered the large version of the bag for my larger Olympus gear and what I've said about the smaller bag applies also to the larger bag. The larger bag has an incredible amount of storage space, actually more than I normally need but works well for larger camera bodies and lenses. This bag comfortably holds the Olympus M1 Mark iii camera body along with the 12-40 f2.8 Pro lens and 40-150 f2.8 Pro lens and there is room to carry 2 or more lenses depending on their size. There's plenty of room for the Olympus 60 mm macro lens along with the Olympus 45mm f1.8 prime and a Panasonic Leica 30mm 1.7 prime lens. In the pocket, I could also carry a flash unit and battery charger if needed. The ZINZ Ultra Thick & Breathable Universal Shoulder Pad makes a huge difference in the comfort of this bag because of the weight of the M1 and pro lenses. K&F really needs to include a better and longer shoulder pad. It is possible to put the M1 body with the 40-150 Pro zoom attached in the bag in a vertical position, but there is just enough room to zip up the bag. As a result, I keep the 12-40 Pro lens attached to the body and the 40-15 Pro zoom in a separate cubby.
