(4 out of 5)Good small case, one design flaw
I have a large Tamrac backpack that fits all my stuff (DLSR body, large telephoto, medium telephoto zoom, flash, small 50mm prime, etc.) and I bought this on impulse at a camera shop to put the body and medium telephoto into when that's all I'm taking with me.
With the body/lens in there, the bag is pretty much full. That's actually fine with me. I have a Canon 30D and the lens is the L-series 24-105, so that's pretty big stuff. I might be able to squeeze a flash in there, but it would be tight, and that's with most of the padding removed.
The design flaw is the zipper on the back of the bag. If you shoulder carry the bag, as it seems to be designed to do, the back of the bag rubs on your body, at about the belt line, and that's right where the zipper is--so as the bag sways, it slowly opens the zipper. I've thought of some velcro or another way to fix it, but haven't gotten to it yet. Otherwise, it's a good bag.
(5 out of 5)Great small case
This is an excellent case to grab when traveling. I carry my extra lens, flash, mini tripod, and filters in it. The removable and adjustable dividers make this a very flexible case. The handle makes this a very easy to grab when on the go and the strap is handy. I have a separate Tamrac case for my camera, extra batteries, and memory.
(5 out of 5)Very good service
When I received this bag, it did not fit my gear. They give me refund after I mail back to them. very smoothhhhh.
(5 out of 5)Excellent, durable, low-cost
I received the Tamrac camera bag within a week of ordering it, and I was very happy with the way Tamrac explained via drawings exactly what it would hold. I wanted the bag to travel with, so I wanted protection for my camera and lenses, but not excessive bulk. The Tamrac bag was perfect for this purpose, not too big, not too small, well built, and had lots of pads without being huge. I would definitely recommend this manufacturer, and you can believe what they say when they talk about exactly what each bag can hold.
(5 out of 5)Best bag for my needs!
This bag is perfect for my needs. It's not too small, but not too big for trips. It's gone on extended vacations and local day trips with me several times now. My Sony alpha fits perfectly right in the top (with lens attached), allowing quick access. It fits all the necessities well, and keeps them organized and safe. The side pocket is the perfect size for my Palm Treo cell phone. The velco dividers inside are re-arrangeable as needed. I did a lot of research in stores and online researching bags to fit my needs. This one met them all. It's not terribly obvious that it's a camera bag due to the shap. Very comfortable to carry.
