In continuation of cleaning out my old camera bags I also have this venerable all-weather monster.
The Tenba P-859. It's a pretty large shoulder bag and it can hold a TON of gear. It easily carries a 70-200 / 24-70 / 16-35 / 50mm (sigma, so it's a big prime) plus 2 pro-sized DSLR bodies.

Tripod HolderNo

I've had this bag for quite some time and it's been on a lot of journeys with me. It's still in really good shape all things considered, but I do want to mention a couple things.
1 - The zipper pull on the bottom of the bag broke off at some point. All this does is allow for the bottom to be opened as a pass-through for a roller bag, or to pull out the all weather rain cover. You can still unzip it, but the tab was broken off.
2 - At some point I removed the foam inserts that went on the sides and the solid bottom board of the bag. The reason I did this was because I wanted a soft-sided bag like the Domke F-2. I cannot currently locate the foams or the board. I will keep looking, but to be honest they make the bag very very bulky and stiff. It also allows for less room inside and will keep you from fitting a 70-200mm sized lens in one of the buckets.
3 - Due to the usage and age of the bag there is some brassing on the metal D-Rings, but nothing that would keep it from functioning.
All of that being said, I'd like to get $55 obo picked up for the bag. I would like to sell locally if possible, but I will explore shipping costs within the CONUS at the buyer's expense.
This is a perfect bag for toting around a lot of gear or for a PJ that needs to carry a bunch of lenses. I used it a lot for sports shooting before I got a roller bag.
If you have any questions please feel free to PM me.
Thanks for looking!
