Nice bag for normal use April 29, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This bag good for normal use only. Not for adveture like hiking or travelling, due to lack of padding. Fit DSLR camera with zoom lens and 2 extra lens -> zoom + wide angle (fit better without lens hood), charger and memory cards. Side pockets are very tight to be useful for anything then slim cellphone (if you loaded the bag as above). Quick access to camera is nice.
Big but good for the big DSLR camera and accessories April 9, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The bag looked huge when I first got it. I was use to carrying my little Canon digital camera that was the size of my palm. I bought it for my new Nikon D80 and the Nikon SB600 speedlight external flash. Fits both perfectly. The zoom lense I have is the 18-135mm, which is little longer than the other kit lense 18-55mm. The bag is actually deep enough for a longer lense. I still have room on one side of the bag for an extra lense or another accessory. Yes, the bag is big but look how big the typical digital slr camera is. The front compartment is great for keeping extra battery, charger, lense cleaner, basically every camera parts I own. The bag is used more for storage than taking on day trips. For day trips where I don't need the external flash, I use one of the small Tamrac bags that holds just the camera (it's actually shaped like the digital slr camera).
Well-constructed bag, doesn't fit against body well February 8, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The bag is technically well-constructed -- solid and has good inserts and padding. However, it doesn't sit against my body like a messenger-style bag should. I bought a messenger bag so that the bag would fit against my body better than a trad'l style and more useful in crowds and while traveling. Unfortunately it looks like I'm going to have to shell out for a Crumpler to get the body-fit I'm looking for.
Tamrac Messenger Camera Bag December 30, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Well designed bag. Looked at the Crumplers but decided that the Tamrac bag was more economical. The Tamrac had all the features I needed and was the right size. We have a Nikon D80 with two lenses ( 18-135 and 70-300), an SB800 flash and camera accessories. There is still room for a few more items, like a small digital camera and/or a small video camera. The padded dividers that come with the camera bag allow you to create about 5 or 6 chambers, plus you have exterior and side pockets.
Easy to carry and not too cramped November 20, 2007 16 out of 16 found this review helpful
Looked at a few different Tamrac bags and settled on this one. It has plenty of room for my Nikon D80, 50mm, 18-200, Speedlight SB-600, and all the extra cards and batteries. Even with all this in there it is not cramped and has a little room to spare. Though don't let this lead you to think the bag is huge. It's not a bag you'd buy for a compact camera, but it's size makes it easy to sling over your shoulder and feel like it doesn't get in your way or is too heavy.
Pros: Comfortable to carry, good size for the body and a couple lenses, well priced, quality brand, offer some room to increase what you bring with you. Cons: May be too large for those wishing to just carry the SLR body and a single lens.
