Nikon 35 70 2.8

[0.215 lb] I used this during rain showers on a Fuji S3Pro with a 35-70 f/2.8 lens and an 80-200 f/2.8 lens and everything stayed quite dry. The material is clear enough to see the viewfinder easily. I was even able to use the pop-up flash for fill. Great value and this was my second time purchasing it as I wanted one for my backup camera.

[82 mm (Front)] I always use 24-35 and 70. Bokeh at 70/2.8 is very nice. Aperture 2.8 is enough because when you use a bigger one like F1.4 or 2, it will bring you many side effects. The only problem is distortion at 24mm. Sometimes I think I need a Batis25/2. Last, with A7R2 you have 24's angle+70's details, and 70's angle+200's details. 100% zoom in you see everything. Wonderful.

[0.175 lb] Works as advertised with Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 E FL lens.

[Clip-On] With my Nikon D810 and the 17 - 35 mm 2.8 zoom I needed a wider flash covering so far I’ve used it as a soft box with out the light grid and it is like having a portable studio light with you with the power of the Godox 360ii

[0.05 lb] I got my first Zeiss, the Mulvis 15/2.8 last week. I was extremely impressed with that lens. Although manual focus, it has since kept the Sigma 12-24 and Nikon 16-35 in the bag. And I sent an Irix 15/2.4 Blackstone (a very nice lens actually) back. That initial experience gave me the confidence to order the Otus 28/1.4 and 55/1.4. I have not had full manual lenses since my Canon and Nikon film SLRS and my Mamiya and Rollei MF cameras. TBH, I wasn't sure if my decades-older eyes would be up to the task. Well, I am still not sure about that part, but this lens and the 810A are superb together. P, A, and S modes work flawlessly. I took it out today for a few dozen shots during early afternoon. Light was bright and a bit flat, uninteresting to say the least. But this lens is just extraordinary. Color richness and fidelity, the almost-3D effect of DOF, corner-to-corner sharpness, lack of distortion, resolution, all amazing. I have Sigma 35/1.4 and 24/1.4 Art lenses that I picked up primarily for astrophotography. This lens takes their place, as well as the Nikon 24-70/2.8, and every other lens that covers this range. Yes, it's big and heavy; this is not a kit for speed pack ascents. But I will haul these lenses around the world in the next couple of months, because once you have seen what they deliver, there is no going back.

Used for my Nikon 24-70 f/2.8. Protects it from scratches, dings and dirt.

[0.05 lb] LenzBuddy body caps and rear lens caps for Nikon are terrific! It allows me to see in my bag which lens I want quickly. They also look cool. I have custom end caps made for all my lenses - 70-300, 35-105, 35-70, 28, 50, etc. They are a little expensive direct from the company (9.95 + 6.95 shipping) but free shipping if you order from B&H when possible. Qutility stuff!

[Empty] Every outdoor/landscape photographer ends up with several bags. It comes with the territory. But I don't always need every lens I own and the 200-500mm on deck, and for those long 6-12 mile hikes I might even need a few things for myself, like food, supplies, and clothing. Add to that a full frame mirrorless, 2 lenses, and a tripod, the hydration bladder, and you're soon realizing this bags potential. It keeps you light and on course while avoiding that 35 pound weight of indecision on your back all day. -Let's be honest, when was the last time you used ALL the 5 lenses you brought while on that single hike? Simplify a bit and enjoy the ride. Its made well, yet there are a few things that aren't tip top, but I think in the name of weight its a fair trade off for me. I had the first version of this backpack and regretted giving it away for years. I use a Nikon Z6 with a smallrig l bracket on permanently. A capture clip means I need another small QR plate, making the footprint of the Z6 body much larger than original, yet the 24l compartment still works fine. I typically carry a zoom or 2 lenses with this kit on my motorcycle/hiking adventures consisting of a nikon s 24-70 f4, tamron 35-150mm 2.8-4, or a nikon 18-35mm 3.5-4.5. I think if i wanted to, I could carry my 70-200 in the main compartment above, but I have bags better suited and more purpose built for my big teles.

[11.65 lb] This bag is amazing, it holds two Nikon full frame cameras with grip, one with a 70-200 2.8 & the other 24-70 2.8 with plenty of room of other gear.
