The medium Haven Camera Pouch from Crumpler is a well-padded and very portable way to carry around your photo gear. This pouch is rated to hold a DSLR twin lens kit. This unique approach to a bag combines the benefits of a traditional shoulder bag with the benefits of a high-quality camera pouch.
Contained within the relatively small frame of the Haven, is a quick opening water-resistant housing that includes movable touch fastened dividers and draw string closure. The main compartment can be configured to suit whatever gear you are carrying. The exterior has five mesh pockets that will hold batteries, filters, memory cards or other small items such as a cable or lens cap. When closed, the top folds inward and locks via its draw string closure providing excellent protection for the contents. Backed by its lifetime guarantee, The Crumpler Haven is well-named since it offers maximum portability and the smallest footprint required to hold your gear.
Note! The exterior mesh pockets are not water-resistant

Comments about Crumpler Haven Camera Pouch (Medium, Gray/Green):
I am just getting started in taking photos on something other than a compact camera. I bought this for my dSLR to take on a trip and I knew I would use a couple of different bags depending on our activities. This was perfect to grab and move my camera and lens from one bag to another keeping everything together and protected.
I used it with a Nikon D3100 with the 18-55 lens and one 50-200m lens. There isn't much room for anything else.

Comments about Crumpler Haven Camera Pouch (Medium, Gray/Green):
This bag could not be better. Fits my APS-C DSLR with a lens, with room for another lens and some small items like a spare CF card, battery and filter. Absolutely perfect for my backpack. Crumpler's quality is as high as always, and the camera could not be easier to both access and secure. Padding and dividers are great. Now my backpack is a 'stealth' camera bag!

Comments about Crumpler Haven Camera Pouch (Medium, Gray/Green):
I wanted a small pouch to be a "bag within a bag" to hold my Pentax K5 and one additional, small lens. This pouch does this very nicely and cushions the camera/lens. I recently returned from Mexico where I tossed the Haven into my Northface pack. For everyday use, I leave the Haven into my Osprey daypack, which is a terrific hiking pack. I like not having to haul a dedicated camera bag that announces to the world that there's a camera inside.
In the past, I have owned a Lowepro pack which was a good camera bag but an entirely mediocre and heavy backpack. I've also owned holster-style cases, but they are clunky and don't fit into a daypack very well (and I am not going to attach it to my belt).
So, this pouch works well. I'd rate it a '5' but there is no way it should have cost as much as it did.
Note: if you have a bulkier DSLR (I do not), this bag will only hold the camera + mounted lense -- but not 2nd lens, despite what the ad says. The larger Haven might be a better choice. If you have a large zoom, this wouldn't be a good choice. Bear in mind that I like it, because it is not bulky.

Comments about Crumpler Haven Camera Pouch (Medium, Gray/Green):
I bought it to carry two other lens, Nikon 105mm micro vr and the Tamron 70-300mm vc usd. I can also use it to carry my d90 with a mid range zoom w/o other lens and put in a back pack instead of carrying the actual camera bag when I want to go lite.
Good quality and decent paddings all around. Innovative alternative to actual camera bag ang actual lens cases.
