While advertised primarily for carrying a pro-sized wide angle zoom lens, my Skin 50 at the moment snugly holds a Nikkor 70-300/4.5-5.6 VR, and a Nikon SB-800, separated by a thin but effective partition that comes with that bag. That should illustrate its usable length. While nominally unpadded, the supplied rain cover fits into a zip compartment on the bottom, providing useful padding for the lens or flash. An outside pocket that would be covered by the flap should have enough room for my Gary Fong Origami Flash diffuser, and there's a bit more space in a zipped pocket in that flap, which can be either secured with Velcro, or have that covered to make use of the Skin 50 much quieter. Besides carrying a DSLR body with a shorter zoom lens, most days out shooting would require nothing else, meaning that a bulkier bag can stay in the car or even, at home.Highly recommended, even for someone with various and sundry other bag, and the price is great.

I found another great use for the Think Tank Skin 50 besides carrying lens. I've owned a pair of Canon 10X30 image stablization binoculars for over a year now. While I love these binoculars, I have never been happy with the Canon nylon zipper case that is included with the binoculars as any binocular straps get in the way of the zipper. It has been very difficult to look for a better 3rd party case for these binoculars due to the irregular shape as it is a hybrid of a roof prism and porro prism design. After a lot of searching, I finally found that the Skin 50 is a great case for these Canon 10X30 binoculars. The zipperless loop-and-hook design of the Think Tank Skin 50 allows me to place my binoculars inside without having zippers get in the way of my Pacsafe binocular/camera strap. The noise-less velcro option make it easy for my to remove or secure my binoculars during plays and concerts.
