Tenba's latest camera bags go large on retro appeal
While keeping prices (relatively) small
Tenba has introduced a fresh range of camera bags called the DNA v2. These bags draw inspiration from vintage shoulder bags popular during the era of film photography, and are designed to complement mirrorless cameras like Fujifilm's X-series, Nikon's Zf and Z fc, as well as Leica M models (Image credit: Tenba).
Despite their vintage appearance, the DNA v2 bags are crafted from modern materials. They feature a brushed polyester twill exterior with a water-repellent coat on the surface and a double PU coating on the back. The zippers on every exterior opening are coated with a water-repellent material, giving them a metallic appearance but ensuring they won't scratch your equipment (Image credit: Tenba).
A silver/black reversible rain cover is included, featuring a silver side that reflects sunlight during hot weather (Image credit: Tenba).
The DNA v2 comes in four sizes: 10, 14, 16, and 16 Pro. The smallest option, DNA v2 Shoulder Bag 10, can accommodate a mirrorless, rangefinder or compact DSLR camera along with 3-4 lenses, plus a tablet up to 11 inches. The DNA v2 Shoulder Bag 14 offers more space for a mirrorless or DSLR camera with 3-5 lenses (including a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens), and a 14-inch laptop.
The DNA v2 Shoulder Bag 16 provides similar camera storage capacity as the 14, but can also hold a 16-inch laptop. The DNA v2 Shoulder Bag 16 Pro is the largest size, designed to carry a professional mirrorless or DSLR camera with a grip, 4-6 lenses up to a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, plus a 16-inch laptop. All sizes are available in black or blue (Image credit: Tenba).
Each DNA v2 bag features a 3-stage dual-zip top access, allowing quick and easy access to your gear without any obstruction (Image credit: Tenba). The laptop/tablet pocket is separate from the camera compartment, making it easier to remove a laptop at airport security. Additional pockets on the front provide space for batteries, cables, memory cards, and other accessories.
An elastic side pocket is designed to hold a water bottle. There's also an extra zipped side pocket for quick storage of a lens or other larger items. An extra hidden pocket with a Bluetooth tracker is compatible with AirTag and Tile (Image credit: Tenba).
All these features are suspended on a shoulder strap pad made from memory foam, providing body-contouring comfort for wearers throughout the day (Image credit: Tenba). The DNA v2 bags are now available, with prices ranging from $169.95/£140 for the smallest size to $219.95/£180 for the DNA v2 Shoulder Bag 16 Pro.
