I'll be traveling soon in Asia with chances of rain. Can I trust that it will still be waterproof and if my nikon d5300 & 18-55mm len will fit in?

Took mine to Africa with NIkon 5200 with both lenses. Tight fit but worked.

I've taken it out in torrential rain with no problem. Large freezer bags work well too.

I don't know the measurements of that particular camera and lens.It's definitely waterproof.

The contents will definitely be protected from rain. As for fit, I use it with my Canon Rebel with a Sigma 18-250 lens with no problem.

Yes, your camera will be safe from rain in this case. I think your camera and lens should fit. Put the lens on the camera and measure the total length. If it is 7" or less, you will be fine. The bag instructions tell you to fold it over 4 times and then click it shut. If your setup is longer than 7", you will probably only be able to fold it over 2 or 3 times. However, if you are only going to have the case in the rain, I am guessing this will be OK, but I am only guessing on that.

I have a Nikon d 3200 with an 18-55mm and a 55-200. I can fit my camera with lens attached and my 55-200 in the bag with some room left. Full disclosure getting in the bag on the fly is a pain, good for travel on flight and stuff.

Not at all! The bag is closed by folding the top and sealing the velcro. If your camera is small enough, the lens part does not have to be removed as the camera can slide right in (I used a Nikon D3100 and did not have to remove the lens piece). I think this bag would provide great protection against rain and it is very easy to put the camera in and take it out. The only issue I can think of is the camera strap, but you can either remove it or tie it with a rubber band and lay it beneath the camera inside the case.

Please be noticed that this kind of Lens filters is intended to protect your valuable camera lens against scratches and similar physical damage. Considering this, I don't think this filter may work as a Water-Resistant protection. Therefore, if you plan to use your digital camera pretty close to liquids/humid weather conditions (rain, waterfalls, fountains, etc.) the best protection you may get is using a camera rain cover.

They are not waterproof per se, but my camera and lenses were snug in my Lowepro bag when they rolled off a 10 foot high rock and landed in a 2in deep puddle, zipper down. Horrified, I scrambled off the rock and yanked my bag out of the puddle, and was amazed that not a drop of water got in my bag, and my dSLR and lenses were all unharmed. I will never own any bag except a Lowepro!!! Also, I have been caught in sudden rainstorms and have never had water get in my bag. Common sense should prevail though, and I wouldn't stay out in rain any longer than neccessary to get myself and the camera out of the weather.

Yes it will,but the Nikon 55-300 mm is a very tight fit. The cover gives great protection inside a travel bag. Just don't drop it on a concrete floor. Edward

according to the tech at pentax, the len's marked DA or DA WR are water resistant. the len's marked DA L are NOT. this is what i was told. you can call pentax and ask. they are very nice. and yes, i found that quite confusing also, to the point that i special ordered that lens from "cell....something"can't remember the name. then i returned and paid double postage. then i called pentax. please, i know how dumb that was! :)

It is "water resistant" when used with a water resistant lens. Older lens probably won't give much protection. I think if it a a safeguard if I get caught in the rain.

I used with Nikon D5100 and 55-300mm lens, which I'm assuming is just as big as an 18-200mm. It was snug, bit fit well. The case has some stretch, both length and width-wise. You may want to check dimensions of lenses to compare, but I was happy with the extra cushion in a non-camera bag while traveling.

The unit is water SEALED, not water PROOF. Further, many of the OlyPana lenses aren't weather sealed at all. I used mine extensively in rough weather and kayaking. It has been splashed and sprinkled on without issue. But if you fall in the water and submerge the camera, both camera and lens are going to be toast. Don't let this discourage you from taking it with you, just be aware of the devices limitations. There are many waterproof digital cams out there, but I know of no m43 or DSLR's that are.

Hi,As for protection for the camera, yes, as long as you have it all snapped up and covering the camera I would say it would do a good job of protecting from rain. If you were to turn a garden hose on it maybe not so much, there are openings where the two halves meet and where the camera straps have space to exit and flowing water could enter at those places. And keep in mind that this is a leather case and as such exposure to water isn't it's strongest suit. If you think rain/water will be a regular encounter you would be better off with some synthetic material but for the casual, unexpected encounter it is more than adequate.Hope this helps.

I brought the cameras to the tropics where rainfall is higher than here in the US. So far I did not have any problems with water going into the cameras. I should say they are waterproof.

I don't think it is a concern. I am an amateur photographer. I have had the D5100 for about 8 years and now the D5300 as well. Barring a rain storm I have taken the D5100 in all kinds of environments without a problem.

Unfamiliar with your camera size, however, if it's same or smaller than my Cannon EOS, than it will fit. If you will be putting only your camera with the factory lens, you will have limited extra storage, however with a zoom, you will have no space & will need an extra bag or back pack to carry your accessories. I would say the case isn't water proof but water repellent, also, there is a Velcro compartment in the back of the case that has a pull out cover which I think why the manufacturer is making its waterproof claim. Overall, for the dollar amount, if your carrying only your camera, with minimal accessories, it's well worthed.

Absolutely. We used it for that purpose. We never saw any sign that any water leaked into the camera. Read the description for the max depths per Nikon.

That's a question that I've spend some time wondering about my self. What I've concluded is that since it comes with a rain cover the fabric isn't goingto keep condesation on the bladder from mygrating to your camera supplies. If your bladder has a water proof cover or you make one it shouldn't be a problem.

I have Nikon p100 and it worked for me....I took it under the Niagara fall...and it was perfectly waterproof
