Much lighter and more compact than aluminum type used until now. Highly recommended! Handles a Nikon D40 well. Is very light weight so not much in the way of "low center of mass" so don't want to bump it when moving around it. Wife loves it!

I love macro photography and recently brought a regular speedlight (albeit a compact one) so that I could take it around with me; a bit of a pain, if I'm honest, with having the diffuser on it and trying to get the best light. Then I noticed this one a month after, and it was even cheaper, so I thought I would try it.I actually have 2 macro lenses over the years, a Nikon F mount and a Nikon Z mount, and there is an important thing you need to do with the Z mount lens; do not mount the flash to the lens part, which moves in and out, attach it with a larger adapter to the outer case. This is because it will put undue pressure on the lens and can result in lens motor failure. I did a lot of research on that, so I thought you should know.Loved the fact that it came with so many adapters, as I was a bit worried I was going to have to find some to fit my lenses.The light is beautifully even that comes out of it and really makes your picture pop, and the cable to the main unit is soft and flexible and doesn't pull against front. Very simple controls on the back to adjust the power, and so far, I've only needed the lowest setting for macro work, although I'm sure the higher setting will come in useful for portraits (not tried that yet).

I have a pretty significant number of components in my DSLR kit (as listed below) and this bag proved to have adequate space for all the components, with SPACE LEFT FOR MORE!List of components that found a place in this bag:1) Nikon D3300 dslr2) Nikon AF-P 18-55mm Kit lens3) Nikon AF-S 50mm Prime lens4) Nikon AF-P 70-300mm Telephoto lens5) HB-N106 Bayonet Lens hood (for kit lens)6) HB-47 Bayonet Lens hood (for prime lens)7) HB-77 Bayonet Lens hood (for telephoto lens)8) Altura professional dslr cleaning kit (including blower, lens pen, lens brush, lens cleaner bottle and microfiber cloths)9) 1 pc. ND2-ND400 variable ND filter with case10) 1pc. 55mm to 58mm step up filter adapter11) USB OTG Smart card reader12) Mobile OTG cable13) DSLR battery charger14) Nikon WU-1a WiFi adapter for Nikon DSLR15) 1 spare Memory cardAnd trust me when I say this that if organized properly, this bag can still fit a couple of more lenses (I can still fit 1 telephoto lens and 1 prime lens). Refer to my attached photo for evidence.There is provisions to attach my tripod (Snapgear 50inch foldable) at the exterior side of the bag, but I would not use that since it wkuld make it extremely difficult to swing the bag from my back to front (using the sling function) when I need quick access to my camera.Pros:a) This bag is smaller than it looksb) has more space than I need to fit all of abovec) Is extremely well padded from all sidesd) Dividers are of good quality and completely customizable (i.e. we can fix them at any position inside the bag as per our requirement).Still, I took a star away for the following reasons.Cons:a) not water-proofb) No water-proof cover provided eitherc) Chains are of acceptable (but not excellent) quality...felt like needs to be handled with care.

I enjoy macro photography and was very happy when Nikon announced the 105mm f2.8 Micro lens for the Z mount cameras.The lens is larger than than the F mount counterpart, but not as heavy. It produces outstanding images, sharp from corner to corner. As a S-line Z mount lens, it has a customizable control ring and function button.Focusing is quick and silent, and the lens includes a focus-limiting switch to limit the working distance for close up work. It also has 4.5 stops of VR, so while you may not want to necessarily ditch the tripod for true macro work, you can use this in the field with confidence if you are not traveling with a tripod. The included photo was taken handheld.Highly recommended!

I got this lens a while a go...the first copy was defected but the second one was the right one....is very sharp considering that is not L series...but the focusing system is very fast...I can focus almost instantaneously...is fantastic considering the fact that is 4-5.6 lens....for everyday shots is very good...I was debating between the version of 70-300 L and this one and I'm glad that that i choose this one...considering the price.... now compared to the 70-300 Nikon version is faster and sharper without doubts,, i have Nikon and canon full frames and regarding to the 70-300 range...this canon beat the Nikon one....for sure...

awesome product, I have tried all the mount type and the all worked perfectly

I like the mount much better than the ball-type. Better control for me.

I am using this bag for my Nikon D5000 with only one 18-55mm lens. It should fit another lens, but I am not sure.
