Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This bag gives a wonderfully snug fit for my Nikon D90 and attached 18-55mm VR lens. It cradles the camera perfectly. And there is more than enough room left at the top, above the camera, to accommodate the camera's shoulder strap.
That said, the 18-55mm VR lens is among the shortest of Nikon's standard zooms. It's 3.1 inches long -- a tad shorter than the 16-85mm VR (which is 3.4 inches long), and the 18-105mm VR (which is 3.5 inches long). What about them? Don't worry, this bag WILL accommodate those lenses as well. It just requires that you fold the shoulder strap a bit more carefully to fit it in.
What about the 18-200mm VR? It's 3.8 inches long, and I think that's just a tad too long to fit neatly in the bag. I haven't tried it myself (I don't own an 18-200), so who knows, perhaps it would work. But it would definitely require a bit of pushing and pressure on the zipper, I think. Those with the 18-200 are advised to get a slightly larger bag.
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, while tight, has no seal or flap over it, which means that it's potentially 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 water getting into the outer pocket....
