Whats a good, 18-105mm lens for a nikon d750, $200usd is max budget. I already have a 28-105mm lens.

Hey all - I need a favor. I'm looking for an inexpensive camera bag that is big enough to hold a camera that has a lens installed on it, plus a second lens (like a 75-300). I've been on a few trips where I only could have one lens on my camera in my bag, but it was the wrong lens. I'd like to put this one om my Christmas wish-list, so I need something affordable and easy to find online. Maybe somethings $40 or under?

Thanks in advance! :toast:

Tried different bags, sling, shoulder bag but nothing compares to this backpack. I can throw in Camera + 17-50 lens + hood attached + 28-300 lens + hood, mini tripod or external flash, and if you efficiently compartment the bag you can even put in a small video camera in it. I also have pancake prime lens in the inside zipper, several filters, extra batteries, chargers and also an 8" windows tablet.

Thanks, but I have a Tamron backpack that I like and a Case Logic holster that only fits the camera with a lens attached. The Tamron is kind of big, and I don't want to take it everywhere. And, as I posted above, the Case Logic is sometimes too small. I'm looking for a case in the middle, maybe a holster type if possible, that can fit the camera and a total of two lenses - nothing more.

The first one is still too big, but the second one might be small enough. I'd love something smaller if it was out there.

Yea I like that single strap one

So zooming yeah? It sucks when you have glasses. The finder thing is small and hard to use unless you press your eye against it, which you can't do with glasses, and without glasses you don't see how well the zoom is.

Another thing is cold weather shooting (as in -1 C and below). As I understand it, the dangers is less about cold as about cold combined with moisture. Which kinda makes sense. How do you guys do it? So far I've been out just short periods (which leads to worse images because you're rushing things), but I really want to find a way to go to several locations in an evening. Plastic bags around the camera to prevent moisture is one idea, but I dunno.

It is, but it doesn't go far enogh. It's close, but not as good as with glasses.
