Doing my regular inspection of my local ETSY store. (A charity store selling mostly pre-owned kit, books & clothing). I saw an odd looking semi-rigid case. Bit bulky for a laptop bag. So I took a look inside.

"Eureka!" It's a Photo-backpack daybag! By some luggage maker evidently trying to get into the photo-market. And it had a slight cosmetic mark on one of the side pockets. At its 'price point' of £5 that's not really a problem. Particularly as it's for going on coach trips where lunch is likely to be a major content. As is my poncho weatherproof, for picnicking beneath. Possibly pitched under my monopod?

At home I explored the bulge underneath. To discover a big yellow rain cover. Obviously the designer never tried to pack a tripod on those straps beneath it. Good-looking, and totally useless. No matter as I plan to use a monopod and 400 ASA ISO film.
 
no pix, it never happened!
 
I thought Etsy was an online marketplace for handmade thises and thats.
