Two digial cameras with battery grips is very tight fit. Great for transport with nice amout of pockets. The flap that covers the zipper for the main compartment works for protection but if you need to have access, such as changing lens etc it gets in the way. When I use it I have to tuck this flap under the handle. Plenty of options because of the removable foam dividers

Comments about Tamrac 5608 Pro 8 Camera Bag (Black):
Well designed, strong construction but its only about 2/3 the size that I need. I use it for my Nikon D90 with at battery grip and a Signa 18-250mm lens. There is room for several other things but a larger size like the Pro 12 would be better.
If you have a lot of equipment buy the larger bag.

Comments about Tamrac 5608 Pro 8 Camera Bag (Black):
Finally I have the right bag. This bag is perfect. It has an array of pockets and storage spaces. I have a D300s with battery grip attached, three lenses, two speed lights, extra batteries for thosse and charger, extra camera batteries, radio triggers, adapters, etc, the list goes on. Everything is organized and easily obtainable. I don't think there would be room for another body, but that is because of eveything that is already in there, but with rearanging the dividers, who knows. This is a bag you won't be disappionted with.

Comments about Tamrac 5608 Pro 8 Camera Bag (Black):
Use it to carry one pro DSLR and a smaller DSLR along with 3 lenses. Moved all of my gear into one bag, chargers, filters, etc. Like the color of black since it is almost invisible in the back seat of my car.

Comments about Tamrac 5608 Pro 8 Camera Bag (Black):
This is a great bag considering its size. I was looking for a bag to hold my stuff and while this bag works, it really is a snug fit. If you do, in fact, have two SLR's with decent sized lenses, flash, and maybe one additional lens, I would recommend the larger bag if you want a "not so snug" fit of your equipment. To give you an idea of the snugness and possibly prevent you having to return it due to its size, I have a 60D (18-135 lens), 7D (70-300L), 17-40L, and 320EX flash in the bag. The only reason I got this bag is because I did not want a bag that was too big and bulky. Any additional equipment may require a bigger bag. I hope this helps...

Comments about Tamrac 5608 Pro 8 Camera Bag (Black):
Well designed, strong construction, many pockets!
It turns out it's about 2/3 of the size that I was looking for, but aside from that, it's a well made bag for several SMALL ITEMS. Great way to separate many small items.
I use it to carry my 50mm, SB 900 flash, filters, screen loope, head lamp, batteries, grps, tripod brackets, and the older 35-70mm lens - and there is still room for other small items. Couple of bigger sizes would have been perfect for my needs, but I would still recommend it.

Comments about Tamrac 5608 Pro 8 Camera Bag (Black):
Good quality medium size bag. Bought it for my d7000 kit. Body with typical DX zoom lens on it and the grip will fit. You'll get another two or three average size lenses and a medium size flash in there, or more if you don't pack an extra camera body. For camera(s) plus lenses like the 70-210 or 300mm etc, you will probably want a bigger bag. Good pockets for the extras. I really like it for what I got it for.

Comments about Tamrac 5608 Pro 8 Camera Bag (Black):
Great bag with a ton of storage. I choose this bag because it has great pockets in the 'hood' part of the bag as well as in the front of the bag. Side pockets are huge. Bag is easy to load and easy to carry. Strap stays comfortable on the shoulder. Bag closes very securely with velcro, a zipper and 4 clasps. The tripod holder is a bit hard to use, doesn't hold my tripod very well.

Comments about Tamrac 5608 Pro 8 Camera Bag (Black):
The discription say's two cameras with lens attached. I put in a D 300s with a vertical batt grip & a Tamron 18-270mm attached & a D3000 with a Nikon 55-200mm attached. No way. I had to take the lens off the 3000.But, I have 3 lens, 2 SB 900 flash, and to much more to list here in the bag. Over all it's a great bag, you just have to play around with the configuration of your gear.

Comments about Tamrac 5608 Pro 8 Camera Bag (Black):
This is a great gear bag but wasn't big enough to fit my gear. Wasn't big enough to comfortably fit my 1d with 24-70 L attached plus a 70-200L. I could have squeezed it all in there and had room for a flash and maybe a battery but I wanted something a bit roomier. It is still a great bag and if my gear had fit I would have loved it. It's a great size too, not to big and bulky. If you have a smaller body camera plus a few medium size primes, this is the bag for you. 3 stars only because it didn't work for me.

Comments about Tamrac 5608 Pro 8 Camera Bag (Black):
THIS CASE IS THE BEST ONLY FOR TWO THINGS THE TRIPOD HOLDER HAS THE BELTS TOO SHORT FOR THE PRO-TRIPODS, AND THIS HOLDER CAN BE LOCATED IN SOME OTHER PLACE BUT NOT IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CASE BECAUSE THIS DO NOT LEAVE THE CASE FLAT IN THE FLOOR OR ELIMINATE IT. IS NOT A BIG DEAL.

Comments about Tamrac 5608 Pro 8 Camera Bag (Black):
Air travel security issues -- both for the passenger and the checked luggage -- have made life difficult for photographers who travel by air. The airports are full of thieves, whether employed by the airlines, the airports, or the TSA. These thieves, and the airlines refusal to compensate passengers, have forced photographers to carry on their cameras, lenses, and computers. (I send my film back & forth by FedEx - no x-rays.) Thus the need for camera bags that hold a lot of stuff, but will fit "under the seat in front of you." This bag definitely qualifies, so the issue is whether it will hold your gear.
