I got one as well same time, thanks to you as it was only £24.50. It is quite spacious and I have carried the D750 with 24-85, Tamron 70-200 2.8, SB700 and some other bits and bobs without any issue. I wish it was a smidge taller for the 70-200 2.8.

Before I make a final decision. Has anyone had to fine tune the focus on their D750 with a 24-120 F4 lens or any other for that matter?

All mine have had to be fine tuned (bar one), but not just on the D750, my Sony's before that. I am very particular though and have to get it mm perfect, but then I think when you're spending this kind of money why would you want it any other way? ;)

Thats the old version though- according to Amazon you need the "Lowepro Passport Messenger Bag" not getting involved in the colour debate

Looks a bit 'girlie' :sneaky: Plus two bloomin buckles, I hate faff :LOL:

Thanks for link, much cheaper than I've seen. Are the buckles not a faff then?

Not really they just tuck round then popper up. They're not like belt buckles. I tend to do one up and leave one unless I'm not using it. It also means your gear is a little bit more secure.

Don't know if I can answer this properly, but a few pages back we all seem to have discussed it.

I actually sold my Nikon 70-200 F4 as I was not using it much. Then bought the Tamron for a friend who was away. I started testing the Tamron, went to a trade show and shot some models and found the lens amazing. Decided to keep it. Of course price is important as I wouldn't have done the same if it was the Nikon 2.8

I checked online for some tests and found the Tamron is a much better value lens in terms of price & performance. If you have sports in mind and money is not an issue go for the Nikon VR2. It is the best optic for a 70-200 2.8 across brands. The only downside is severe focus breathing meaning the lens is only 135 mm at CFD when zoomed to 200 mm. Vr1 does not have that issue.

Between the Nikon VR1 and Tamron, I'd recommend the Tamron. Between VR2 and Tamron let your wallet decide.

^^^^ this. Just one other thing to add is that the VRII AF speed is super fast too, noticeably faster than the Tamron and Sigma OS

Btw, the Tamron 70-200 2.8 also has focus breathing issue, better than Nikon VR2 but still there.
 
50mm 1.8g arrived this morning. Like it, first impression is that it focuses much faster than the d I had previously. It's mint and for 100 quid, a bargain. :D

Saw that saga over on AVF @snerkler with that guy trying to make a few quid on his D750. We know where you work now :p

Lol, wouldn't be hard to track me down, I come up on google :p

As for that other lens, I would have had it in a flash but he messed about saying he didn't want to split the kit, then he did, then he didn't :rolleyes:
 
Oh, and ordered the Lowepro Event Messenger 150 in black and wasn't prepared to pay extra for the 'green' one ;) Looked at a youtube video of the Urban Reporter and the guy said that the buckles were a bit of a faff as I thought. Not opening but having to feed the straps back through. Event Messenger better for me as can just close with the velcro when wanting to keep going in and out of the bag, then a single snap clip when more security needed.
