This K&F Concept 18L camera backpack is £59.99 at the time of this review. I have an older K&F backpack I bought in 2017, so I'm comparing this a bit to that. My older backpack is still in excellent condition after years of use (side by side in final picture)
On the outside, the materials seem robust and I'm sure that it'll hold up. On left side of the backpack a tripod can be attached. The right side is blank, a missed opportunity to place a net there for a bottle etc (which my older K&F backpack has)
There is no padding on the rear of the backpack. It's not a deal breaker, but again the older backpack had it, so a missed opportunity for comfort. It's a similar story with the straps, which have minimal padding. Wearing the backpack is fine. There is enough length in the straps for a good fit and it can be fastened across the chest.
Inside the main compartment it's 100% gear space. The main 2 dividers are stronger than my older bag, so nice to see some improvements in this area. the smaller velcro divides can be placed as necessary. There is enough space in the bag to have my full frame DLSR with a 24-120mm lens attached and a 70-200mm lens beneath it. I've also put a 50mm prime and flash in with a few other bits including the provided rain cover. Overall I'm happy with the storage space for my needs.
In summary I'd say this is a good decent size backpack for someone with similar needs to me (largish camera with a few lens) with room for a few improvements to future versions.

I already have a smaller K&F concept bag that is smaller than this. I recently bought a Nikon 180-600mm lens and wanted a bag that was big enough to accommodate the lens with the camera attached to it - make it easier for me to take pictures quickly whilst being out and about. I browsed on Amazon and this probably came out on top in terms of physical capacity vs price. If you see my attached picture, I can confirm this can accommodate a Nikon Z6 Body + the Nikon 180-600mm (15" total length). It's snug - with a few cm to spare from the top of the bag.
A few obvious things I noticed compared to my smaller K&F bag, it's much lighter and square in shape - maximising the internal capacity. However, I believe the compromise here is that there is less padding around the walls of the bag - I don't think I am confident enough to let this bag drop from above my hip, I don't believe it has enough padding to avoid your gear getting the brunt of a drop hence I have given it 4 stars BUT I guess this bag is designed to be lightweight.
Overall, very light, very well built & robust - just like my old K&F bag so I'm happy to see this brand has continued to produce high quality product at excellent value for money.

I was happy to learn that this bag easily fits my Canon 6D Mark II camera with a 70-200mm Canon EF f/2.8 L-series lens with attached lens hood mounted onto it (in a position that will not put strain onto the area where the lens is attached to the camera body because the heavy lens is pointed down and the lighter camera sits snuggly above it and does not move around when the case is closed). Plus, the case is more visually appealing than the alternatives that I have found while shopping around for it.

This backpack made my outdoor photography adventures less of a burden. The compartments housed my DSLR, lenses, and other essentials securely. On the other hand, my laptop felt slightly cramped in the given space. The comfortable straps made lugging around my gear less tiring, which was a welcome relief.

This is great for those who don't want a bulky backpack for their camera gear as this one goes for more of a minimalistic and compact design; though despite this, you can still store a decent amount of gear inside.
Like other camera backpacks, this features a modular segmented design, so you can adjust the compartment sizes around your gear by moving the partitions around or removing them. The partitions also feel fairly study and offer a good level of padding which is very important. There is also a zipped compartment where loose accessories can be securely stored.
On the size of the backpack there is a way of attaching a tripod, however, this is more suited for compact designed tripods.
Overall, two thumbs up from me.

I didn't want to spend to much money on a backpack. Looked at so many on Amazon with sub par reviews. Found this backpack and took a shot at it. Seems to be of great quality and enough space for my camera gear. My camera gear is mainly towards light video production for YouTube. It appears I have just enough space for about 3-5 more lenses (micro 43).

my 15 inch laptop didn't fit in the sleeve but I could zip the pack shut with the laptop resting on top of the compartments; would buy again - I fit Nikon Z50 with 16-50 kit lens; FTZ adapter; AFP DX 70-300; AFP DX 10-20; 35 DX f1.8; 50mm f 1.4; four Godox speedlights + trigger + flash meter; and the laptop - perfect for my travel needs!

Actually a good, small, inexpensive photo backpack with lots of useful pockets and a nice design. However, the Velcro connections on the partitions hold rather poorly. I bought the bag for mobile flash equipment. 3 Godox AD300 Pro fit perfectly, including chargers and accessories. For me the purpose is fulfilled.
