Dan Carr — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 00:43:09 +0000

NOTE: The Satori is no longer in the F-Stop lineup. You should check out either the Ajna or the Tilopa. I have written about many of F-Stop’s fantastic outdoor photography packs before and I’m pleased to be able to introduce the brand new Satori EXP pack to you. This will sit at the top of […]

F-Stop Guru Backpack Review

Dan Carr — Thu, 19 May 2011 05:56:23 +0000

The F-Stop Mountain Series packs are an essential part of my work. There is simply nothing better for adventure photography. I’ve covered the backcountry specific Tilopa BC HERE before and also the slightly smaller Loka. This month F-Stop launched another bag in the lineup, the 28 litre Guru.
