I use this bag to haul around my Nikon D80 with the kit lens, along with charger cabling, etc. with plenty of room to spare. There are 2 internal compartments sized for SD card cases, 3 separate pocket areas in the front, and the usual Velcro type compartment arrangement for the camera and gear. I am told the case is large enough to accommodate the D80 with the 18-200 VR lens fitted as well, but I don't yet have that lens to verify it myself. The camera sits lens down in the compartment. The single zipper design makes for fast access and secure containment of your gear. There is also a built-in microfiber cloth, and the pull-over rain fly is a nice touch as well. The build quality is top notch, the only complaint I have is that once you remove your camera, the weight of the bag's flap is enough to make the bag fall over if you leave it open.

Just purchased this bag for my Nikon D90 with the 18-200VR lens. We wanted a compact bag for the camera with the walkabout lens, and I took a chance that this may or may not work. Wanted to let everyone know that it fits great along with a SB-600 inside as well. Not room for much else (could have a spare battery / memory card, if you carry those). Perfect bag for everyday use.Best Deals for Lowepro Apex 140 AW Camera Case
I bought this from new egg for $20 on sale. The ultramarine blue color though. Product is really good.I was able to fit in my Nikon D40 with 55-200mm kitlens attached on one side (kept in inverted position) and a 55-200mm Nikon Lens with hood and a SB400 flash on the other side. I have used only one internal cushion separator out of the two that came with it. I had space for a CPL filter in the side bag. I am happy that I am able to fit all my gadgets.
Cons. The shoulder strap that comes with it is designed such that for my convenient length I am not able to get teh shoulder cushion on my shoulder. But thats not even a negative point.
Honest reviews on Lowepro Apex 140 AW Camera Case
I ordered the Lowepro Apex 140 AW after reading several reviews here regarding the fit for a Nikon D90 with the 18-200mm zoom lens. When I received the package and opened it, I was concerned that this bag was too small. However, the previous reviewers were quite correct in that it is lightweight and does have ample room for a D90, 18-200mm lens (hood reversed), an SB-600 speedlight, and a few other small items. I don't have another small lens to put in the bag, but one may possibly fit. Instead I have two Sto-fen flash filters tucked along side my camera. This bag provides great protection for my gear, yet is small and light enough to carry all day anywhere. It has a loop to be worn on the belt, although I prefer a shoulder strap.My criticism (and reduction of one star) is the strap. The quality of the strap is good and there is a nice movable pad on the strap. The problem is the strap is way too long. I'm six foot tall, 220 pounds, and if I extend the strap all the way the bag would be at my knees! Sure, you can shorten it, but that means sliding the buckle to double the strap back on itself. Since the buckle will not pass through the permanently attached shoulder pad, you have to slide the shoulder pad away from the buckle. This means the pad is no longer at the top of the arch of the strap and will not be on your shoulder. I'm going to have to take the bag to a tailor shop to have them remove about ten inches of strap and resew the loop to the buckle! I can't imagine this strap being suitable for anyone that is less than about 350 pounds. Maybe I just got the one with the long strap, but it is seriously lengthy. Otherwise, like I said earlier, the bag is a great day bag. I'd still buy it again for the price since I should be able to easily have the strap shortened.
