This bag gives a perfectly snug fit for my Nikon D90 and attached 18-55mm VR lens. There’s just enough room left at the top, above the camera, to accommodate the camera’s shoulder strap if I fold it carefully.
That said, the 18-55mm VR lens is among the shortest of Nikon’s standard zooms. It’s only 3.1 inches long–noticeably shorter than the 16-85mm VR (which is 3.4 inches long), and the 18-105mm VR (which is 3.5 inches long). This bag WILL accommodate those lenses as well, but won’t leave much free space at the top for the camera strap.
So, I’d give this thing five stars for the fit and construction. Why deduct a star? As others have noted, it doesn’t have enough (or spacious enough) pockets; and even worse, the outer pocket has no seal or flap over it, which means that it’s exposed to the elements. Since all my photography takes place indoors in museums, this isn’t a problem for me. But I image that outdoors enthusiasts caught in a storm would be irked to find rain falling directly into the outer pocket….
