Fast delivery, even though the order was sent from China.
The bag looks like it's made from quality materials, the zippers are working perfectly. Free rain cover included, which was a surprise.

I like this backpack, great from the space for a current camera with 1-2 lenses, my 16" MacBook Pro and diverses accessories. Just a little bit to small for my big block (Nikon D4 / Nikon D6). My all day photo backpack, discret and confortable for the city trips, thanks K&F Concept !

As a photographer and filmmaker, I use and access some very expensive equipment. Think Canon L series lenses, 1DX bodies, strobes, continuous lights, microphones, the list goes on. But when it comes to camera peripherals, it is not always true that you get what you pay for. There are some delightful budget surprises out there and this backpack is one of them.
For a start, it is reasonably priced and it is much better constructed than my three pricier old backpacks by a series of name-brand manufacturers. In fact, this K&F is just as ‘pro’ as the main backpack I currently use to move between locations. So why did I buy it, you might ask, if I already have a high-end backpack?
Well, my main bag is the much venerated Lowepro ProTactic Camera Bag, 450 . It’s become more popular recently due to lot of positive YouTube reviews. I’ve had mine for years. The 450 is a large, high quality backpack. The main zip is on the inside, which ostensibly stops thieves in their tracks. I say ostensibly because the 450 still has pockets at the sides which don’t stop thieves at all. So it’s not perfect. It also has pretty thin straps which mean that although you can pack the kitchen sink, you can’t carry it for long because the weight is not distributed well across the terrible thin straps. And despite what has been said in reviews, the 450 still looks like a camera backpack. I mean, attaching a gorillapod to it is a bit of a giveaway about the contents, no?
When I don’t need to take the kitchen sink and I just want to enjoy the day, the 450 is total overkill. On those days, all I need is one camera body with an attached lens and, at most, a mirrorless compact for another focal length if I really need it.
Enter this delightfully unassuming and immaculately built navy backpack by K&F Concept. The features are all quite obvious from the product images, which I’ve supplemented in this review with my own pictures.
As you can see, the backpack has a protective compartment with extra velcro inserts which easily houses a Canon DSLR body and lens (the one you see is the 16-35 but it also houses the 24-70 just fine). It also leaves enough room for another mirrorless body or premium compact. I use Fujifilm X series cameras so I’ve put one in to show you how things could fit for you.
In the other photo, I’ve shown you that a 70-200 easily fits in the top compartment with lots of room to spare. So you really could use this as your day-pack with a 16-35, 70-200 and a mirrorless body with room for lunch, a water bottle, a phone, an LED light, a notepad, cuddly toy, etc.
As someone who has owned a lot of camera bags, the build quality of this K&F is the best I’ve encountered in years. The materials chosen are high quality, the stitching is excellent and there is no cruel, silly use of leather. The design cues are thoughtful, including pockets for your SD cards, a rain cover which goes over the entire backpack, and a tripod support buckle if you need it. The padding in the straps and the extra padding on the back (see my picture) makes the whole thing more comfortable under the same load than my main LowePro 450 backpack.
Overall, this K&F is a fantastic day pack. It is light, highly capable and very well designed. It is not true that you get what you pay for. Sometimes you get a bit more.

Very spacious backpack, with a large number of pockets and useful spaces, fits the body well, and has a good distribution of loads. Excellent pocket for equipment on the side. The quality of the materials is excellent. Very useful PC pocket, I was able to fit a 15.6 inch without any problems, top of the range finish, casual, durable and waterproof material.

Great bag, expensive but side access is great for quick access to the camera, lower compartment hold DSLR and two lenses easily an upper compartment perfect for a few other items.

I use this backpack for multiple uses, from photography to academic to travel. It's really versatile and spacious, although it should come with more velcro to turn it into a 100% photo backpack..

Literally love this backpack!! Perfect for my Nikon camera while travelling.

So I’ve only just received the bag and haven’t taken it out yet, but I searched for ages for something that suited my needs. This bag ticked almost all of the boxes, and costs considerably less than some of the brand names.
Straps and buckles seem to be high quality.
I haven’t explored all the nooks and crannies yet but initial thoughts are that it isn’t hugely versatile. You can remove the divider between the top and bottom sections and use it as one big bag.Although it is a bit smaller than anticipated. I have my Fuji X-T3 with grip, plate, 10-24mm and 18-55mm in there. There’s no room for anything else, and I couldn’t keep either lens attached.
I wanted the bag so that I could take minimal kit with me, if I need to carry multiple lenses I intend to use one of my larger bags.
Overall I’d give it 8.5/10.

I bought this for my boyfriend, and he loved it! I really liked the color and down-side zipper for the camera is amazing, you can use it to store other things as well.

It packs a lot of things and is still light. There are many compartments to place your camera, lenses, laptop, and accessories. Zipper end is elastic so it stretches when you pull on the zipper making the zipper less likely to tear off from wear. Buttons are Magnet, not velcro so it lasts. Will definitely keep using this backpack for me shoots.
