Kata calls this huge bag a light case, and it can certainly carry lights — several flash heads (or monolights) with lightstands, cables, and diffusers. But with a few more optional internal dividers, the OC-97 can also carry a ton of cameras and lenses for photography in a far-flung location.
And though it’s soft-sided, it’s rigid enough to stand on if you need a little extra elevation for a shot. A fully loaded bag this big is bound to be heavy, so it ships with Kata’s Inserttrolley so that you can roll all those lights and cameras to the shoot. READ FULL REVIEW AT POPPHOTO

A slightly downsized version of Kata’s most popular backpack, the R103, this one is just as tough and well thought-out. Bright yellow internal dividers help you see your gear more easily; integrated camera clips on the shoulder harnesses take the weight off your neck. Despite its smaller space it can hold a pro D-SLR with an attached 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom, a few smaller lenses, and a 12-inch laptop — yet is small enough to carry on. A good choice for photographers of modest build. 
The Lightware z300 Case is very protective and attractive. The zippered and buckled top has a Velcro’d-in zippered pocket. I needed to remove this pocket to get my Canon 300mm f/2.8 Lens + pro body to fit. Even so, the fit is snug – exactly what I was looking for.
