 Tamrac Explorer 2 DSLR Camera Bag June 12, 2008
Excellent product in a market where there are many to choose. I bought this one because it was the size I needed and the fact that I have used a large Tamrac bag for over 15 years and it is still in excellent condition. They are VERY well made. A very functional and effective bag. My Nikon D70 with a 18 to 200mm G ED VF lens fits vetically with room to spare. It also stores my SB-600 strobe, a spare battery, memory cards and several other items.

Nice Small Expandable Bag April 2, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This bag has held up well for me over a year and a half. In the bag a lone, I keep my D50 with 18-135mm lens attached, a Sigma 10-20mm and a 50mm f/1.8 with extension tube attached.
I also added 2 Tamrac M.A.S. lens cases (MX5378) to hold an SB600 and 70-300mm VR. They can attach to the side of the case and they give me quite a few options on what lenses I can carry, how many I want to carry at one time and where I want to carry them in the case.
The bag also has a nice front pocket to hold things like filter, off camera flash cord, etc
Great bag - strap is too SHORT! February 9, 2008

Unfortunately, all of Tamron's bags appear to have a strap that is too short. Another reviewer (6' tall) had this problem. I'm 6'5" and I really struggle with it. At full extension, the bag rides pretty high on my torso - higher than my elbow, if I have it across my opposit shoulder (over my head).
A pretty good gadget bag for a Nikon D80 December 25, 2007

I bought the Tamrac Explorer 2 for a Nikon D80 recently, and it seems to be pretty good. I like the general look and design of the bag, as it looks like a traditional gadget bag. I especially like the extra zipper for the cover, which helps keep dirt and dust away from the main compartment where I store my camera, and the single clip securing the cover works well when I don't need the extra protection of the zipper. While reasonably compact, the bag is fairly sturdy, although I haven't "taken it on the road" yet to see how it holds up under normal travel wear and tear. Storage seems adequate for now, although I only have one lens for the camera (18-135mm), which I keep mounted on the camera when I store it in the Tamrac. Adjusting the velcro-secured panels to accomodate my stuff took a little time, but the final configuration seems to meet my needs, and secures the camera quite well. My only complaint is that when I store my camera "lens down" within the space I created with the velcro panels, the lens extends when I remove the camera because the fit is so tight. I also wish the Tamrac Explorer 2 had side pockets to store additional items. Other than that, it's a nice bag that keeps my camera safe. The shoulder strap seems comfortable, but I won't know how it feels after extended use and lugging the fully loaded bag around on my next vacation. Overall, I would recommend buying this bag.
