4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect fit for D90 and 18-55mm / 16-85mm / 18-105mm lens., February 12, 2009

By	Roman Sarcs (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews

This bag gives a perfectly snug fit for my Nikon D90 and attached 18-55mm VR lens. There's just enough room left at the top, above the camera, to accommodate the camera's shoulder strap if I fold it carefully.

That said, the 18-55mm VR lens is among the shortest of Nikon's standard zooms. It's only 3.1 inches long--noticeably shorter than the 16-85mm VR (which is 3.4 inches long), and the 18-105mm VR (which is 3.5 inches long). This bag WILL accommodate those lenses as well, but won't leave much free space at the top for the camera strap.

So, I'd give this thing five stars for the fit and construction. Why deduct a star? As others have noted, it doesn't have enough (or spacious enough) pockets; and even worse, the outer pocket has no seal or flap over it, which means that it's exposed to the elements. Since all my photography takes place indoors in museums, this isn't a problem for me. But I image that outdoors enthusiasts caught in a storm would be irked to find rain falling directly into the outer pocket....

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for D40, August 9, 2008

By	T. Mosbo (Chicago) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This case works great with my Nikon D40 / 18-135mm lens. There's actually a little bit of room to spare on the sides of the case, for filters, etc. I like the design of the bag, it looks sleek and is small enough to take anywhere.

My one complaint is that there aren't enough pockets. There are only two; one in the inside of the case's main flap, large enough for a shutter remote, a couple of SD cards or... well, that's about it. There is also another one on the outside of the case (behind the emblem). I only use this for my cell phone / ipod, things like that. I would like to see a couple more USEABLE pockets in the sucker. It'd be nice to be able to organize basic accessories a bit more without having to buy a huge or expensive bag.

For a basic, everyday, grab and go bag, it does the trick.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight Protection, March 26, 2009

By	D. Bacon - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This case fits my Canon Digital Rebel XSi with the stock 18-55mm zoom lens, so it's always ready to grab and go. It has plenty of cushioning and a good zipper. The blue is nice too, I'm tired of everything electronic being black.
