Advantages: Included free with lens

Disadvantages: Doesnt protect very well.

Introduction
##########

These cases actually come with the lenses when you buy it. But they are available as replacements from good photography stores and websites.



The Case
########

This case is designed for

- 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor
- 60mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Micro NIKKOR

The exterior is a soft leather like material with a draw string. The actual dimensions are: 4 in. diameter, 6-3/4 in. tall therefore this is not only for Nikon Lenses, if you have another lens from another manufacturer which fits this size then feel free to use this case.



Experience
#########

In my experience as a photographer - I don't really like using this case because it has no protection for the lens - well not enough protection I would like. I prefer to use the hard cases as these will protect against falls. This case is good for protection against scratches when in storage - other than that I would not recommend keeping your lenses in here when traveling or doing photography.



Conclusion
##########

A nice case - good for free when included with the lens you purchased. Not good for protection.

Summary: Nice case for storage of lenses, but will not protect against falls.
