Comments about Tamrac Tamrac 5608, Pro 8, Large Sized, Professional Camera Bag for 35mm or Digital SLRs, Navy.:
This is and update (and replacement) of the same Tamrac bag I purchased about 20 years ago. It's slightly bigger and has better compartments for digital rather than film. Otherwise, construction and quality are the same EXCEPT for the shoulder strap. What an improvement. Very much like the strap on the Velocity series bags. Easy to carry on one shoulder or cross-shouldered so that most of the weight can be supported on your back. Advantage of this bag to the Velocity is that it holds more and stands up on it's own (flat bottom). Note: Camera bags are like purses -- they gotta fit you and your stuff. This one holds as much weight as I wish -- about 12 lbs filled up. Anything larger I'd need a "grip boy".

Comments about Tamrac Tamrac 5608, Pro 8, Large Sized, Professional Camera Bag for 35mm or Digital SLRs, Navy.:
Great bag for 2 cameras. Easily handles Nikon D300 with 18-200mm zoom and hood mounted. Nikon Coolpix 5700 and several aux lenses. Chargers for both cameras, incl cords, manuals, many other accessories. Very well padded, easy access to stowed items, easy to carry with shoulder strap or top carry handle. Like everything about this bag.

I spent a little more then I wanted too, but this bag is definitely worth the money. It's well constructed and there's plenty of pockets for accessory storage. The color of the bag is darker than pictured which is actually a plus.[...]

Comments about Tamrac Tamrac 5608, Pro 8, Large Sized, Professional Camera Bag for 35mm or Digital SLRs, Navy.:
The Tamrac Pro 8 is a big, well-padded bag. I love that I can fit my DSLR with grip in it with a telephoto lens still mounted. The lens gate system keeps pads around the sides and front. It would be hard to carry a second DSLR with a lens on, though a body alone would probably fit well enough.

Comments about Tamrac Tamrac 5608, Pro 8, Large Sized, Professional Camera Bag for 35mm or Digital SLRs, Navy.:
Lots of pockets and dividers. A bit overboard perhaps on the flap fastenings as there is a 2-tab zipper, 2 bayonet buckles on the flap bottom, a buckle on each flap side, and 2 velco patches. Rest assured the flap will not inadvertently pop open when everything is secured.
Nicely padded inside and on the shoulder strap.

Comments about Tamrac Tamrac 5608, Pro 8, Large Sized, Professional Camera Bag for 35mm or Digital SLRs, Navy.:
I was looking for a bag that would hold all my equipment in one place. So when I wanted my whopper lens or my macro they both were in one handy case. My only suggestion might be some added stylish flair. I added my own decorative ribbon trim. It's a girl thing.

Comments about Tamrac Tamrac 5608, Pro 8, Large Sized, Professional Camera Bag for 35mm or Digital SLRs, Navy.:
This is a large bag that carries three SLR bodies a flash gun and six lens comfortably. It also has pockets galore for batteries and memory cards. Although it is heavy when loaded up with all the equipment I found the cross over shoulder strap very comfortable. It has numerous pads that allow for a tailored set up inside. All main pockets close with zipper and velcro giving optimum protection. A highly recommended camera bag.
