Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / November 2006Nikon D50 - Which bag ??
I've got a Nikon D50 with the extra 55 - 200 lens......at present it's rattling around in my old camcorder bag. Can anyone suggest a decent bag for this......i'm sort of looking at the Topload Zoom 2 made by LOWEPRO but was wondering if things might get a bit tight, say with an extra battery etc. I did take my camera into jessops today with a view to trying my stuff inside one.....but the bu**ers had sold out and I am sort of lost. My budget ...about £50 ish. Any help appreciated. Dave :) > I've got a Nikon D50 with the extra 55 - 200 lens......at present it's > rattling around in my old camcorder bag.

You can carry it by the handle on top, a shoulder strap that's long enough to go across your chest, not just hang on your shoulder, or you can hang it on your belt (but might be a little big and heavy for that. It also has an all-weather rain-proof cover that pulls out of a zipped compartment, and stretches over the bag. Excellent design, made well, and inexpensive.

[quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Dave :) You might want to also check out the Tamrac Zoom Pro 7 (I spent a while in the local camera shop playing with both the 7 and the 9 for my D70s with a 300mm lens and finally ended up with the 9, but the D50 is a bit smaller and the 200 is a bit smaller. http://www.tamrac.com/welcome.htm it is the Model 5627, "Pro Digital Zoom 7" (how come they never advertise a "Amateur Digital Zoom" case ??? mikey Thanks for the help Mike.... Im off to have a look on wed. pm ...I might go for the '9' just for the extra space ...but both look good to me. Cheers Dave :) >> I've got a Nikon D50 with the extra 55 - 200 lens......at present it's >> rattling around in my old camcorder bag. [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > mikey Mike......I've spotted the Pro 9 for under £37, can you confirm that you can get the body with a 55mm lens and also the zoom lens. I think this will all fit fine, as well as my spare battery and a few filters but the adverts arent exactly clear. Most seem to be "lifted" from other adverts. Thanks again.. Dave :) >> I've got a Nikon D50 with the extra 55 - 200 lens......at present it's >> rattling around in my old camcorder bag. [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > mikey I have the D70s which is a bit bigger than the D50 I believe. I have the Sigma 70-300 lens that sticks out about 5 inches from the lens mount for a total camera depth of about 8 inches. I added a piece of 1-1/2" foam at the bottom of the case to add a little extra padding and help keep the camera a bit looser in the case for my grubby fingers to get around. Still leaves an inch or so at the top for the strap to go. Note the dimension on the lens is when it is on infinity at the 70mm position. mikey > Mike......I've spotted the Pro 9 for under £37, can you confirm that > you can get the body with a 55mm lens and also the zoom lens.

It holds an SLR with a typical short zoom, at least 1 spare lens (e.g., long zoom), and all the accessories you'd typically need for a casual shoot. It's "big enough" but small enough not to get cluttered with junk. If you drop in the SLR with the hood extended on a short zoom, it's a snug fit but it will zip. A long zoom won't fit if it's on the body. Cheers, Richard Thanks Richard... Decisions decisions eh....... It's a camera bag jungle out there and they ain't cheap.

I have the C version so I can slide the Powerbook in the back. The only problem is the rivets holding the straps on are a bit naff and one lot broke. So I am replacing them with bolts. Apart from that it is a great bag.

The Tenba D15 isn't wide available here in the UK.....I googled and found only one mention.
