Comments about Tamrac 517 Tele-Zoom Pak Holster Bag - for Photo/Digital SLR with a Lens up to 7.5" Attached (Black):
I use the 517 tele-zoom pak holster bag for my Nikon D-7000 with a 18-200 zoom lens attached. I wanted something to protect my camera when I take it to the golf course or when I shoot landscape scenes. This bag is very convenient for protecting the camera from bumps and nicks. Especially when taking pictures on the move and need to put the camera down, such as in a golf cart. I can pull it out of the bag, take pictures of golf landscape and put it back in the bag and place it in the back of the cart and it is protected from everything. I highly recommend this bag for those that want to protect their camera from nicks and bumps while having quick access to the camera at all times.

I love this pack. I use it only as a belt holster. It is a little bit big, but still great. Definitely perfect if you need to be super mobile.

I purchased this product so I could carry my Nikon D80 with a large zoom VR telephoto lens attached. Although large, it is not much diffent to carry than my smaller Tamrac bag that I have been using for some time. It has plenty of room for the camera with the lens plus storage for batteries, memory cards, lens cleaners, etc. It is sturdy and has plenty of good protection for the camera and the lens. I recommend it and would purchase it again if I had do it over again.

Comments about Tamrac 517 Tele-Zoom Pak Holster Bag - for Photo/Digital SLR with a Lens up to 7.5" Attached (Black):
I had a Think Tank Photo Digital Holster 20, but I really didn't like how my Canon 40D fit with an RRS L-Plate mounted. The L-Plate sticks off the left side of the camera quite a bit to leave enough room for the remote release to connect, and it really made the camera sit funny in the TTP bag. So I was on the lookout for something else. I tried several LowePro bags, but they were all pretty big and bulky and I was looking for something more "minimal". I finally settled on this Tamrac bag, which is pretty nice. The 40D fits great, even with the L-Plate attached. The bag is not necessarily up to TTP quality, but then they don't ask TTP prices either. The only I don't like about this bag is that the loops for the shoulder strap to slip to are on the back of the bag. I really with they were on the sides instead. Oh, and the shoulder strap itself is really pretty poor. I replaced it with an Upstrap bag shoulder strap and that works much better.
