Is this a good vest for photography?

It would work depending on how much stuff your have. This is nice and light with lots of pockets outside front and back along and 2 big pockets inside. You could carry some extra lens in the big pockets and there are some hooks on the outside with the ability to hang more hooks or whatever.

The vest could be good for many things including photography, however, after one washing in the washing machine, some of the seems began to come apart. Beware /made in China

I have this vest. I use it for small tools and hardware. I think it would be ideal for photography it has more pockets than you need and is very light to wear. I would reccommend this item

Yes. It has lots of pockets and small compartments.It's also very light weight and could be worn under another shirt or coat.I use mine for photography during long hiking trips and carry everything I could need without a back pack.

That is exactly why I bought it. It costs half of what a "photographer's vest" would cost, but is actually far better. It is light, has more pockets than I can count. I do travel documentaries. I have worn this while shooting in 14 different Mayan sites, throughout most of Europe, on a 29 State shoot last year. I carry lenses, batteries, audio gear. The back pocket is big enough to easily hold either my netbook or my wireless mic reciever/mixer. When going on planes, I load this puppy down as it is an item of clothing, so it doesn't come under the carry-on bag rules. I think it has like 21 pockets. I have 4 or 5 of them now, but I've never torn one up, even while going through the jungles in the Yucatan or chasing down a metro in Paris. BUY IT!!!

The padding is good, not sure why you would be "Not so gentle" with the money put into camera gear. You can add padding and wrap your gear to boot if you want. I have my bag with a little extra padding from an old bag and them put my gear into a velvet bag before moving in the gear bag. I am always carful with it though, even with the extra steps. This stuff is too expensive not to be....

Yeah, with no problem. It is lined with velcro and different sized adjustable separators so you can besically fit your equipment however you want. I can fit a body, kit lens, and telephoto, with room to spare.

I think so, it's great if your going out to just shoot pics but it's kind of big and awkward for use as an everyday strap. It attaches at the bottom with a big metal toggle that can get in the way. I like trim, compact things and I actually put my factory strap back on this weekend. When your not wearing the camera the strap gets in the way.

I wear a large (shirt) and it fits fine. If you need an extra large, I think that the vest would be too small.

I don't believe this would be a good vest for you depending on just how large your chest is. The material doesn't have a lot of give but the Velcro on the shoulders can make the top wider while the side straps and belt can make the waist smaller. I would say C, if I had to guess, would be the largest breast it would accommodate comfortably but I honestly can't say for sure.

Yes, it will hold up great in a vest. I recently took it with a vest on a 33 mile hike in the Sierra Nevada's. Not a rip or tear, nothing. Worked like a charm.

I use it for SUP, kayaking, surfing and offshore fishing. It's durable, lanyard is somewhat adequate, not bullet proof. Put a "floaty back" on the camera.

I would not recommend it for that purpose... It could do the job but the camera might be a little heavy depending on the lens you may have on it.

No its not a real bullet proof vest its a bullet proof style vest. I bought it and realized it wasn't the right style I needed. but it does look nice and have many storage pockets. I'd honestly say it is good for typical wear.

I wouldn't use it for a good camera. The inside dividers move easily and anything you put in it will just fall to the bottom when you pick the case up. Save yourself some trouble and spend a little more and get one with cubed foam you can remove to fit the camera

It's a great vest for the money! No, you won't have a problem with it being too big. They run very small.

I would say its better suited for photography. That particular lens is very slow. Unless you're outside or lighting the subject, you'll have to bump the ISO of the camera.

It's lightweight so it's good for point and shoots, cell phones, and the GoPro but if you are going to use it with a DSLR you might want something a little beefier. Maybe more like this one: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-WT1003-67-Inch-Monopod/dp/B00FAYL1YU/

Yes it works as well as the Sony, yet understand that the belt apparatus across your chest is wide. I guess that would be fine in the winter but I feel it will be too hot for hiking in the summer. Forget the "dork" factor. I have gone to installing my camera on my daypacks shoulder strap, you still look like a "dork" but at least I don't look like a photographer nerd. I guess if you really wanted to look really dorky, then a headband will do the trick.
