Description:	Series Military Ops Model Tango Retail Cost $119.99 Warranty Limited Lifetime Warranty Exterior Dimensions 16”L x 7.5”W x 11.5”H Large Camera Insert 7”L x 4.25”W x 7.75”H Small Camera Insert 7”L x 4.25”W x 7.75”H Exterior Material 900D Nylon Weight 4.75lbs Description: Ready for action for the people on the run! Hip, modern and chic photography bags that do not look like camera bags! These lines of bags feature our unique stylish design and incorporate military-like features for quick access and equipment security. These ultra-versatile bags combine essential elements like convenient access and an efficient way to transport your camera gear, notebooks and computer accessories, digital point & shoot cameras, cell phones and other devices, in order to make taking pictures while traveling an enjoyable and stress-free experience. Although these bags are intended for photography use, you could also use them for business or leisure after removing the padded inserts. Construced of 900 Denier Nylon, the Military Series consists of 7 models, each of which is available in black or olive drab. Naneu Pro’s newest additions to our Military Series are the Sierra and Tango. These 2 new models combine the best features of our Echo & Lima models, with the addition of a dedicated laptop compartment. We started with the briefcase styling of our Lima and added a concealable messenger strap similar to our Echo model. The main compartment features padded inserts for cameras and lenses. The inserts are also removable to use both bags as daypacks. A magnetic* instant Open/Lock compartment allows fast access to documents and there are 8 additional pockets for accessories (filters, batteries, film, CD’s, etc.). The Tango and Sierra also include a padded shoulder strap, as well as a carrying handle. They are available in either black or olive drab. • Concealable messenger strap design. • Capable of holding a DSLR, such as the Nikon D200 or Canon EOS 5D, with up to a 7 ½” long lens attached, plus 2 additional large lenses (Up to 9 ½” long) or 4 small lenses, and a flash. • Holds most 15.4” widescreen notebook computers. • A magnetic instant Open/Lock compartment allows fast access to documents. • 8 additional pockets for accessories (filters, batteries, film, CD’s, etc.). • Tango includes a padded shoulder strap as well as a carrying handle. • Small compass attached.

Pros:	Well built and great size
Cons:	See my review

Just emailed this to Naneu and thought I would share here:

I truly believe it is easier to choose a new digital camera and/or lens than to find the perfect bag. Its a never ending search. I have 7. The Naneu Pro Tango I received today is number 8.

Why 8? Well, there is street shooting, hiking, with all lenses and tripods, belt pack for just one or two other lenses, etc. Why the Tango? For business travel so I only need one bag for laptop, papers and camera for carry-on.

Is the Tango perfect? No.

Would I buy it again? Immediately.

Its a great size and extremely well made but, here is what I find missing - and not in a priority order but would be happy to grade if you like:

Although many pockets, no compartments for many items I would like to see:

Memory cards
Business cards
Frequent flyer cards
Passport
Power brick and computer cables
Water bottle mesh on a side
Extra batteries
Battery charger(s) - I carry two
Filters
Accordian file for business papers

In short, all of this must just go into a generic pocket without any small fabric dividers and pockets to hold all these goodies.I will have to fumble and feel to find what I wish was a tad more organized. Think more like a laptop bag for some compartments and a camera bag for others. There is just a bit missing to make this a five star. But it is a solid 4.

Last, a clear slot on the outside for a business card or other ID would have been nice as well.

And one more thing to think about:

I believe at least 50% of semi pro digital cam users are using vertical grips. Too may cases make it too tight to store this with an attached zoom lens.
