Hey fellow owners of this awesome lens, any favorite gear bags you recommend? I have a D600 and carry this lens, a 20, and a 50. Thanks!

I carry my Nikon D600 along with the 70-200mm f4, and other lenses and accessories in a Lowepro Slingshot 202 AW.

I have this lens, actually the f/2.8, and I purchased a sling pack from target for $30. Although it doesn't afford much protection, if you're just carrying around your camera with this lens attached, it fits perfectly. Just turn the hood around Nd put it in. No need to buy a $100 bag if you don't need to. Hope this helps.

I also have a D60 and plan to use the Nikkor 10-24 in my underwater shooting - what do y'all think?The Tokina 10-17 is out because of no AF compatability with the D60. divergal

For the D50 and D90 I'm partial to the 28-200. Got three from Tamron and one from Sigma and all were under $100 on Ebay. They AF quickly and are razorsharp. Most were bought attached to a cheapo camera like an N60 or a N2020.

May I ask what lens you went with? I am debating the same issue. Thank you.

I have a Nikon d 3200 with an 18-55mm and a 55-200. I can fit my camera with lens attached and my 55-200 in the bag with some room left. Full disclosure getting in the bag on the fly is a pain, good for travel on flight and stuff.

This lens for me anyway is fantastic. Love this lens. Nice bokeh. Great quality. Only issue I have is because of the smaller sensor the 50 mm is actually a slight zoom. If I did it again, I would probably look for a quality 35mm lens with the same aperture. I believe I bought this from sunset. Didn't have any issues with them, but that was a while ago already.

I keep a couple of lenses in my bag. I keep a Tamron 24-70 2.8 on my camera nearly on all the time and it fits in the middle very nicely. I've posted a couple images with a ruler so you get a sense of size and capacity.Overall, I like the bag. However, it is not much good shifting it to the right shoulder. I wished there was a more universal solution. Left shoulder only!http://imgur.com/enE5F05http://imgur.com/7FGRmKPGood luck!

Really quite Good. This is an excellent lens. I still have mine. Maybe the photos I took with it are still on http://amazon.com. Check out Kurtmunger for excellent review of this lens.

Hi, actaually I have this lens and had the 16-50. I got the nex 6 last year and sold the 16-50 lens because I felt the pics came out better in the 18-55. The focus was better and pics seems crisp to me in 18-55. Yes it's much heavier and the smaller to travel with. 16-50 made it really nice to go our the city with.... But I just couldn't take a good pic with the 16-50. I got the 18-55 for about $100 used. So I'm happy.

I was so glad to see this question here! I have a D50 also and was a bit confused too after reading other descriptions of this lens.

Thanks Michael for sharing your experience. I myself ended up buying a 60d with 18-135 lens kit about a week ago from amazon and I am very happy both with the body as well as the Lens. I had a T2i with 18-55mm before this purchase, and I am not a pro but so far i haven't seen any degradation on the image quality between the two lenses. I like the 18-135 for its decent quality and a very practical zoom range. Not to mention that 60D is a far better body than T2i.

Congrats on the nice lens! I have the 17-85. It's better than my 18-55, but I would love to get the 17-55 someday. Heck, I'd like to get a lot of different lenses someday! But being completely new to dslr, I think what I have now will suffice until I get going.

Have a Nikon D3200 (18-55mm lens) with extra 55-200 lens and it all fits like a lovely glove! Very easy to carry or attach to back packs too.

You might find this bag a bit too small. I'd suggest going with 22L. I found that my d7000 was a bit too big for the bag and it's about 10% smaller than the Canon 60D.

I have a Nicon D90 and a D600 it carrys them both just fine. They both have 18- 300 lens on them.

I'm curious . Did you return or keep your lens and are you satisfied with it ? I'm looking to order one for my camera . Thanks .

B. Stoops did you purchase this lens? I'm about to buy the T2i (550D) and am debating to get this as part of the kit or get the 18-55 and potentially buy this one separately later.
