Elmsford, NY, October 1, 2008 –  As part of the growth of its Sling series Tenba has announced the addition of the 2nd in a new series of Convertible Photo Sling Bags to its growing Shootout™ collection. According to the company, the new Slings are unique in their ability to be converted from a “quick-draw” shooting bag to a long lens bag configuration, offering significantly more versatility, especially to sports and wildlife/outdoor photographers. Tenba says its new line brings a variety of other new, innovative and exclusive features to the sling-style bag category.

According to Tenba Product Manager Peter Waisnor, “we set out to see what we could do differently with a sling-type bag, and of course we turned to our pro shooter network to get a sense of their wants and needs.” Waisnor says that some of the many requests incorporated in the Shootout Slings include the use of durable, water-resistant nylon instead of the more common polyester for the exterior, weather-sealed YKK® zippers on all outside openings, monopod straps, protective rubber bottom treads, and more. Tenba’s Sling offering also provides a full-access back panel that can be opened to fully expose the interior for setup, loading and cleaning.

Other features include Tenba’s fast-deploying WeatherWrap™ rain cover, a strap front-mounted phone/audio pouch, auxiliary security strap, and a variety of accessory pockets and compartments. Despite the special materials and arsenal of features, the Sling weighs in at only 25-38 ounces, depending on configuration. “We tried to meet the challenge of including every bell and whistle the professionals asked for, while keeping the bag ultra-light,” says Waisnor, “and those photographers who have seen and tested the Sling seem to think we hit the mark.”
