Tenba DNA v2 Shoulder Bag 16 - Blue

The Tenba DNA v2 Shoulder Bag combines timeless, vintage-inspired styling with professional-grade protection and performance for photographers and filmmakers. Available in Black or Blue and in four sizes – Bag 10, Bag 14, Bag 16 and Bag 16 Pro – the DNA v2 collection is designed for photographers who want the classic appearance of a traditional camera messenger bag with the modern functionality required for professional photography and filmmaking. Inspired by the growing popularity of film photography and classically styled cameras from brands such as Fujifilm, Leica and Nikon, the DNA v2 features a refined silhouette, soft brushed polyester twill fabric and durable modern construction.

Designed for fast-moving photographers, the Tenba DNA v2 provides quick and unobstructed camera access, allowing you to reach your camera and lenses without unnecessary delays. The innovative 3-stage dual-zipper top access provides immediate access to your equipment, while the top flap can fold back and attach to the interior sidewall so it stays completely out of the way. YKK water-repellent zippers help protect the contents from the elements, making the DNA v2 an excellent camera bag for travel, street photography, weddings, events, documentary photography, filmmaking and everyday professional use.

The DNA v2 also provides dedicated space for your everyday technology, with a padded rear tablet/laptop compartment that can accommodate devices ranging from an 11-inch iPad Pro up to a 16-inch MacBook Pro, depending on the bag size. The laptop compartment can be accessed without opening the main camera compartment, making it particularly convenient when travelling through airports or moving between locations.

Vintage Style Meets Modern Camera Protection

The Tenba DNA v2 collection takes inspiration from classic camera bags and the renewed popularity of analogue and retro-styled cameras, while incorporating modern materials and professional features. The understated design works particularly well alongside Fujifilm, Leica and Nikon Zf cameras, making it an attractive alternative to more conventional technical-looking camera bags.

The brushed polyester twill provides the appearance of traditional fabric camera bags but offers significantly improved weather resistance. A durable water-repellent finish on the front and 2x PU coating on the reverse help protect your equipment, while the exterior openings are further protected by YKK water-repellent zippers.

Fast Camera Access

When you're photographing an event, travelling or working on location, quick access to your equipment is essential. The DNA v2's 3-stage dual-zipper top access allows you to reach your camera quickly without having to completely open the bag.

The top flap can also be folded backwards and secured to the interior sidewall, keeping it completely out of your way while shooting. This makes the DNA v2 particularly useful for street photographers, wedding photographers, event photographers, documentary photographers and filmmakers who need immediate access to their equipment.

Padded Laptop and Tablet Protection

The rear of the bag features a dedicated padded tablet/laptop compartment with quick access from outside the main camera compartment. Depending on the selected DNA v2 size, the collection can accommodate devices ranging from an 11-inch iPad Pro through to a 16-inch MacBook Pro.

This separate compartment makes the DNA v2 an excellent camera and laptop bag for photographers, providing space for both photographic equipment and the technology used for editing, reviewing and transferring images while travelling or working on location.

Water-Repellent Camera Bag

The DNA v2 is designed for photographers who regularly work outdoors. Its brushed polyester twill exterior features a durable water-repellent finish, while the rear has a 2x PU coating for additional protection.

A removable and reversible rain cover is also included. The cover is silver on one side to help reflect sunlight during hot weather and black on the other side to blend into the bag's understated design.

Comfortable All-Day Carrying

The DNA v2 uses a memory foam shoulder strap with a soft, body-contouring shoulder pad designed to provide comfortable carrying throughout the day. An integrated silicone-coated non-slip grip helps keep the strap securely positioned on your shoulder.

This makes the bag well suited to long photography sessions, travel, weddings, events, location shoots and documentary work where your camera equipment may need to remain close at hand for extended periods.

Smart Storage for Photographic Accessories

Alongside the main camera compartment, the Tenba DNA v2 includes several practical storage areas for everyday photography accessories. Front patch pockets can securely hold batteries, memory cards, cables, chargers and other small accessories, with a choice of magnetic flap or zipped closure depending on whether you prioritise speed or additional security.

A dedicated zipped side pocket provides convenient storage for a lens or other larger accessory, while the elastic side pocket can hold a water bottle or mobile phone.

AirTag and Tile Tracker Pocket

The DNA v2 includes a dedicated tracker pocket compatible with Apple AirTag and Tile. The special neoprene sleeve securely holds a compatible Bluetooth tracker inside the bag, providing an additional way to keep track of your camera equipment when travelling.

Trolley Strap for Travel

For photographers who regularly travel with rolling luggage or a camera case, the integrated trolley strap allows the DNA v2 to be securely attached to compatible rolling luggage. This makes the bag particularly practical as a travel camera bag, allowing your camera equipment and personal luggage to be carried together more conveniently.

Camera Compatibility

The DNA v2 collection is designed to accommodate professional and enthusiast camera equipment, including cameras up to a gripped camera body with a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, depending on the selected bag size.

The range is particularly well suited to modern mirrorless cameras from Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Panasonic, OM System and Leica, as well as classic-styled cameras and professional DSLR or mirrorless setups.
