Tamrac 5625 Pro Digital Zoom 5 Bag

Comments about Tamrac 5625 Pro Digital Zoom 5 Bag:

I needed to cary my 60D with a 24 to 70 2.8 zoom with me on my bike. It goes over my shoulder and I put it behind me and it stays while I ride my bike. It does not swing around front. The rubbery parts of the bag help it stay put. I was worried about the size of my new camera and the size of the bag but it works well and offers great protection compared to my older cameras and bags.

This bag ended up being bulkier than I expected. It has a good build quality and protects the camera well. For my 7D w/ 16-85 EF-S lens attached, it is a little longer than necessary.

Canon 5D with lens and accessories fit perfectly.

Comments about Tamrac 5625 Pro Digital Zoom 5 Bag:

This is a well padded camera bag. Problem is the zipper and hood cover are a little awkward to get into both quickly.
Not enough storage for other things. This is the main draw back if you are wanting anything much more than the camera and macro lens

things that are great.

Comments about Tamrac 5625 Pro Digital Zoom 5 Bag:

I was very excited about this bag because I so often need a "day bag" where I just bring along my Canon 40D and maybe one lens, extra battery, memory card, and a cleaning wipe.

Upon first getting the bag It was the perfect size. I could easily fit my camera with my Canon 100mm macro IS L attached, and a foam separator (not included) on top and my Canon 50mm 1.4 laying on top. with memory cards, batteries, etc.

BUT, I hated how difficult it was to get into the bag. The extra flap over the top that latches is unnecessary and the spot where the strap attaches on both sides causes the bag straps to be in the way when you're trying to access the zipper. To me this is a big deal because I don't like having to fuss with gear.

I look long and hard for a bag that is not this huge shoulder bag, but can fit the DSLR and Zoom lens attached tot he camera. This bag also has some additional pockets for memory cards, cables, filters etc.

I wanted a minimalist bag and that is exactly what I received. My Nikon 300S w/18-200 lens fits perfectly. Bag is well padded, has excellant workmanship and "metal hardware", however it's a shame a "Pro" bag has such a mediocre shoulder strap. Strap is non-padded with a small strip of "friction material" attached. Strap is "straight" not a "BioCurve Shoulder Strap" as described. I ordered Tamrac's wonderful "Classic Padded Leather Shoulder Strap" and now have a very nice "rig," but very pricey! A bag called "Pro" should include a better shoulder strap.

Good miminalist bag for the Canon 5d and the EF 24-105 L series zoom lens. In fact it leaves a small amount of space at the top even with the reversed lens hood attached. There is a zipper pocket in the lid of the bag and you can custom cut an insert from a mouse pad to add extra protection for the back of the camera. I like to leave a microcloth covering the LCD of the camera.

The side pockets can hold one 77 mm filter in its box or several with 77mm stacker caps. A circular polarizer and a 0.9 ND filter on stacker caps fits well into one pocket with a lipstick brush to dust them off in the bottom of the same pocket. These side pockets have internal catch pockets half way down. On one side I use a small IR remote trigger in the catch pocket and put a spare battery in the bottom of the pocket.

I like to use a simple belt strap as with all such cases to keep it from suddenly flopping around when I bend over.

The camera strap is always a problem and I have been using the Tamrac series of detachable straps that use fittings which go on the camera and allow the strap to be snapped on and off. The strap I fold three times and attach to the bag handle with a single velcro strap where it is handy, even a fairly wide one.

This is a good minimum carry bag for the Canon 5d mark II, minimum accessories and several different kinds of the larger L-series Canon lenses such as the EF 25-105 L, If you use the simple waist belt idea you can even sneak on a Lowepro 1S or similar case for a small non-L series lens like the 55mm compact macro. The side pockets are fat enough you can easily insert a 12 mm EF12 II extension tube with body and rear caps on it. Or a 270 EX flash since its bent shape kind of form fits.

Good for a zoom lens and additional gear. Very functional and strong with additional pockets on the side for all that extra stuff.

Comments about Tamrac 5625 Pro Digital Zoom 5 Bag:

Simple bag but not much room. If you have only 1 lens and it's small this bag is for you. Photo bags should be able to carry plenty of equipment, this can't. Not I have to sell it and get a larger bag.

This bag by tamrac is really tough if you need something for a daily use. The fact that is has pockets on the side and in the front make it very easy to store battery packs and memory cards.

compact, light weight, good protection

Comments about Tamrac 5625 Pro Digital Zoom 5 Bag:

Great versatile bag! Fits my Nikon D90 with a 70-300mm lens easily; I was looking for a small bag that can hold my large camera. This bag does exactly that. It's not an overwhelming camera bag and has great padding for protection.

Comments about Tamrac 5625 Pro Digital Zoom 5 Bag:

Wanted something I could put my camera and walkaround lens (24-105) in and a few other small things (CF cards, etc). Works great for that purpose. Can be a little tight though with my camera (5D2).

Comments about Tamrac 5625 Pro Digital Zoom 5 Bag:

I purchased the 5625 Pro Digital Zoom Bag mainly for my D90 with 18-105 VR lens. It fits perfectly with the lens hood attached, as advertised. However, my D90 with 70-300mm VR lens with hood reversed also fits snugly. Pockets allow small accessories to be carried. I have yet to find any drawbacks to this product.

Comments about Tamrac 5625 Pro Digital Zoom 5 Bag:

I bought the Tamrac 5625 specifically for a Nikon D300 with 18-200mm VR lens. At first it was a little tight in the Depth Dimension, but after a week of use it loosened up and now I like it. I have several Tamracs like this, either shorter or longer, and the Height dimension was the reason I bought this case, which nicely accommodates the 18-200mm with the lens hood. It is deep enough to remove the HB-35 lens hood, reverse it, and tuck it into the very bottom of the bag without having the lens hit it. I was surprised that a 70-300mm (non-VR) also fit in the bag mounted to the D300 without lens hood (in fact it also just barely fits with the 70-300mm with a nonstandard shorty HN-24 lens hood). The interior depth dimension given at Tamrac and by B&H was a typo, its not 3 ½ inches, it is really 4 ½ inches (depth is from the bottom of the camera vertically to the top of the flash on the pentaprism). Via email prior to ordering it, Tamrac confirmed the error, but the B&H page is not updated yet. The three pockets are enough for a couple of batteries, cards and a filter, etc. It’s a good bag if all you want is one single thing to carry around and have a few accessories.
