Nice day tripper December 18, 2008
This is a very durable bag that works well for me. I can fit my XTi with a 17-70 lens and 10-20mm lens inside and carry two additional lenses on the outside pockets. The shoulder strap attachment buckle can make it difficult to remove the side pocket lenses but it depends on the size. My 70-300mmm with hood reversed can be a hassle.
 Traveling October 23, 2008
Just returned from three weeks travel with the Kata W-92 Waist Pack as my only camera bag. This Kata product is built like a tank. Very sturdy and completely protective of the camera. I carried the Olympus E-510 with the Olympus Zuiko 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 attached most of the time. I also carried the Olympus 50mm f/2.0 Telephoto Macro ED Lens in one of the side pockets and a water bottle in the other. In the main compartment I also carried three spare batteries, an iPod Nanon an iPod classic, a flash and my cell phone. In the velcro pocket in the lid I carried several spare memory cards and cables. All of these items were safe and secure in the waist pack. I varied my method of carrying it from waist to shoulder depending on the circumstances and it was equally convenient either way. I never felt that I was ever in danger of losing my camera because of the design which has the zipper at the back of the pack, in other words closest to the body.
That said I have to say that for me, given my petite stature, the pack was bulky and awkward in tight places such as train and plane aisles, one time causing me to be pushed and pulled by a a commute crowd resulting in the loss of one of my favorite earrings. This awkwardness, and the fact that it is quite heavy when loaded with a camera and accessories makes me think it is more suitable for the great outdoors rather than urban sightseeing.
I'm giving it 5 stars because of the quality of the pack and because most adults are larger than me and wouldn't encounter the same problems.
 Good quality, odd design May 14, 2008
This bag, like all of the Kata purchases I've made, is made very solidly. However, this product seems to have a weird design and my camera does not fit in it unless I really shift stuff around. I wouldnt recommend it for a larger SLR... my 40D has trouble fitting with the lense attached. It'd probably be a better camcorder bag.
Best Waist Camera Pack Around! October 29, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
One of the most stable and convenient waist pack camera bags for multiple situations. The bag can hold 2 lenses in the side pockets an SLR with a zoom lens in the main compartment as well as a flash unit.
It's a top-loading unit that's very durable and lightweight and provides easy access to your camera. Used just with the strap, the bag is very stable and comfortable; with the waist belt it's even more comfortable you can position it behind you so it's out of the way when shooting.
This bag can be paired with the R-102 rucksack so you can even take more equipment with you. But it's not meant to provide lumbar support for the rucksack.
Doesn't work well w/ R-102 August 22, 2007

I bought this to add a hip belt to my R-102 backpack but will be returning it and will be looking for a more integrated solution:
1. Hip belt doesn't provide any lumbar support when attached to the pack.
2. Access to the interior of the W-92 requires removal of the pack then folding over to gain access to the zippers.
