At a glance: The Think Tank Backlight 26L is a 26 litre camera backpack with a rear-panel camera compartment, so you can swing it round and shoot without taking it off.
About this accessory
The Think Tank Backlight 26L in Slate Black is a photo backpack that weighs 1.8 kg and measures 29 x 51.5 x 20 cm. Camera gear sits in a compartment on the rear panel, next to your back, with a separate 9 litre front area for layers, food and personal items. It holds two standard bodies and four to six zoom lenses plus a flash.
There are dedicated sleeves for a 16 inch laptop and a tablet, a padded waist belt, an air-channel back panel and tripod mounting on the front or side. Choose the Backlight over a conventional front-loading camera backpack if you want to reach your camera quickly and keep it hidden from view when walking.

Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
