MegaGear MG1501 Sony Alpha A6400, A6500 (18-135mm) Ultra Light Neoprene Camera Case - Blue

This review is limited to the fit and finish of this neoprene camera case as I've just received it and can't comment on durability, but since there were no reviews, I wanted to post one. I do a fair amount of travel and take a lot of photos, but don't take my cameras in and out of a camera bag generally. When traveling to my destinations, I tend to put my camera in my backpack along with many other items and want it properly protected while packed. I had just been wrapping it up in a microfiber towel and securing it closed with rubber bands. No very elegant and often it came apart. I found this neoprene case on Amazon and decided to give it a try.I have a Sony Alpha a6500 with an 18 - 135mm zoom that I generally travel with. I do use a silicone "EasyCover" on the camera to protect it from dings while carrying it around with a sling strap. My main concern was whether this neoprene case was so snugly fitted that it wouldn't hold the camera with the "EasyCover" on it. Fortunately, there is enough room in this case to accommodate the camera with lens, the lens hood stored in its reverse orientation, and the EasyCover. It is a bit snug and the presence of the silicone cover requires a little wiggling to get the case on, but nothing terribly cumbersome. All seams are well stitched and the open neoprene ends are nicely finished, so there shouldn't be any fraying for quite awhile. The case closes with a secure hook-and-loop fastener. There is a small carabiner attached to the case by a nylon fabric loop. I suppose that's there so you can attach some kind of strap, but I wouldn't trust the weight of the camera to be held securely by this clip and the very stretchy case material. I suppose it is a nice touch maybe to hold some keys or something.Bottom line: This should provide good protection for the camera while packed in a backpack or other similar bag. It was exactly what I was looking for and is nicely priced. Only time will tell how durable the case actually is, but without any sharp corners on the camera to wear through the neoprene, it should last long enough.

This neoprene case is well made and can handle some of the larger Sony lenses, but I prefer the design of the JJC Neoprene case. There are 3 things about the JJC case that I prefer to this MegaGear case.1. The JJC has a removable tether on the left side that you can connect to your camera strap. This allows the case to dangle from the camera strap (out of the way) when you are taking a picture. The MegaGear case has a carabiner attached to the lower right corner of the case. I tried attaching this to the camera strap and it works fine when the camera is not in use, but when you take the camera out; the case gets in the way of your gripping hand. This is a deal breaker for me and the JJC design is far superior.2. The JJC case has a "lip" in the case opening that covers about 1/3 of the rear of the camera body. The MegaGear doesn't include this lip and has a full opening for the camera (nothing covers the rear of the camera besides the cover that velcroes down. I thought this would be an advantage for the MegaGear, but that is not the case. The MegaGear case seems harder to get the camera lined up perfectly in the opening. The JJC is easier because the lip grabs the camera as you work it around. To the MegaGear credit, my Sony A6000 is a new camera so I only have the kit lens at this point; perhaps a larger lens would make the MegaGear easier to insert the camera.3. The JJC neoprene is a bit thicker than the MegaGear.Based on all of the above (primarily the case tether) I'm keeping the JJC and returning the MegaGear. Note, there was nothing wrong with the MegaGear; the JJC just fit my needs better and I prefer some of the JJC design differences.

I bought this case for when I'm traveling and want a compact way to carry my Sony a6400 with two lenses. I can fit both the kit 18-55mm and the 35m f/1.8 in this case, end to end. I bought a small pouch (like this one: https://amzn.to/2EMDCEG) for the small zoom lens so that it doesn't get scratched when at the end of the case.Overall the case seems really well made. Although it's a little less snug than I would have expected (one of my photos demonstrates that).

The cover is exactly as expected. I needed a cover to accommodate my Sony a6000 with the Sigma 30 1.4. and this fits. Yes I know the listing says for the a6500, but ..... it also handles the camera with the 50 1.8. And with the included carabiner it is easy to hang on a belt loop. The material is of the lighter weight of neoprene, so with keeping that in mind just do not expect it to provide any protection from hard bumps or abuse.

This case fit my Sony A6300 with a 16-70 zoom lens like a glove. If the lens had been much longer, it probably wouldn't have fit, so keep that in mind for longer lenses. This won't provide much in the way of protection against falls or major bumps, but it worked well to keep my camera from being scratched and getting wet on my European vacation.

This is a great camera case. The material is soft, but feels sturdy enough to protect your Sony Camera from scratches if you put it in a bag or just leave it lying around. It's black so it shows dust pretty easily if you leave it, but can be dusted off easily and quickly. One thing I would want to be improved about this case is if it had a small pocket that could also hold an extra 1 or 2 SD or microSD cards

Be advised if your camera has a bracket or arca plate (even a small Peak designs one) you will have a lot of trouble getting this in/out of the case.

Bought this for my new A6400. It does fit great, but I cannot open the battery compartment door. This didn’t bother me as I only use one memory card and the battery doesn’t need to be removed to charge. (Case is originally designed for the A6500) It DOES fit with the 18-135mm lense, including the lense cap. Feels great for the money.

Taking the camera away for a year, I wanted the lightest, most fabric efficient case for my sony a6400. I previously travelled with a nice leather case but found it added a lot of bulk to the small camera. This neoprene case is perfect for my needs and provides a snug but comfortable fit over my a6400 with the 18-135mm lens.It also fits perfectly with the sigma 16mm f1.4 lens on it. I briefly trialled the 18-105mm lens on this camera and found it too long and too wide to fit into this case.With the 16-50mm kit lens on this case, you'll find there's a lot of left over fabric in front of the lens but this isn't really a problem since it's neoprene.I'm happy with the case and happy to commit to taking this away with me as the sole case for a year away. Would recommend.

Camera used for this case Sony 6500 with 18 -135mm lens with lens hood attached in reverse.This is a light weight case made with 3mm neoprene available in various colours. The stich quality of the case is first class including the plastic pocket forming part of the rear flap. This is a size for size fit for the above mentioned camera lens combination with no wiggle room. It would be better if the case was 10mm longer at the flap end to allow the eye cup to be covered. The Velcro on the end flap doesn’t line up with the mating part on the case body giving only 50 % of the contact area. A karabiner is attached directly to the neoprene which is only useful for clipping empty case to your belt, with camera and lens weight it might rip off. Use strap connected directly to camera body. It’s a bit fiddly getting the camera in and out, so it’s no good if you’re a person who must have a case around the goods at all times. Best used as travel protection then stick it in your pocket and start shooting.

If you want a minimal camera case for a Sony A6300 and 16-70 Sony lens, this fitted well. However its very easily damaged and a fiddle to use. I don't think it would protect the camera from knocks. I bought mine used but as new - it was badly marked so I sent it back and got a proper (but pricey) case instead.

not well made, it doesn't cover the camera well

Sony Alpha 6000 mit SEL18135Minimalistische Schutzhülle.Aufgrund der guten Passform keine Hülle zum ständigen und schnellen Ein- und Auspacken. Aber wer die Kamera nicht ungeschützt in seinen Rucksack/Tasche packen will, aber auch nicht gleich ne "riesen" Fototasche einpacken, bzw. Extra mit rumschleppen will.

Posseggo una Sony a6300 con un obiettivo Sigma 16mm f1.4 e devo dire che calza veramente molto a filo e bisogna fare un piccolo sforzo per riuscire a chiudere con il velcro, almeno finchè non si molla un po' il tessuto. Devo dire però che ho aggiunto anche un filtro UV che aggiunge qualche millimetro.In conclusione mi ritengo soddisfatto.

Ich nutze die MegaGear Tasche für eine Sony alpha 6000 Kamera mit SEL 18135 Objektiv. Vorher hatte ich schon die kleinere Ausführung für das KIT-Objektiv.Preislich ist die Tasche unschlagbar. Sie sieht auch gut aus und die Kamera lässt sich damit wunderbar über der Schulter tragen.Etwas problematisch ist für mich immer das Verpacken der Kamera in der Tasche, da die Tasche am oberen Ende doch recht eng anliegt. Man muss also beim Einpacken etwas länger einplanen. Zusätzlich ist die Gefahr groß, dass dabei die Augenmuschel abgeht, wobei dies eher an der Sony-Kamera liegt.Für den Transport im Starkregen ist die MegaGear auch eher ungeeignet.

Ich habe die Tasche für meine Sony alpha 6000 mit 18-135mm Objektiv gekauft. Obwohl sie nicht dafür ausgeschrieben ist, passt die Kamera super rein. Es ist noch ein wenig Platz in der Tasche, das stört mich allerdings nicht.Die gleiche Tasche für ein anderes Objektiv habe ich bereits auch schon im Urlaub genutzt und ich finde die Taschen aufgrund der platzsparenden Größe super. So muss man im Rucksack nicht die Hälfte des Platzes für eine klobige Kameratasche nutzen.

Acquistata per potermi portare la mia sony alpha 6000 + sony SEL18200nello zaino e non dovermi portare appresso una borsa apposita.Una sola cosa: la custodia è arrivata con la scritta MegaGear rovinata come in foto.Comunque ottimo prodotto, proprio quello che cercavo.Consigliatissimo!

Arrivata in ritardo di mesi rispetto all'ordine. Sulla mia Sony A6500, con zoom 16-70mm, rimane ancora spazio per obiettivi ancora più grandi. Il retro non è comodissimo da usare per estrarre la macchina fotogafica. Ne avevo un'altra in neoprene nero, adatto alla 6000, molto pià comodo da utilizzare anche se piccola per la 6500.

Racchiude come un guanto la Sony serie seimila con 18-135, leggerissima e comoda per portare l'essenziale in modo leggero e sicuro. Ovviamente un semplice strato di neoprene non offre la protezione agli urti violenti ma, in ogni caso, attutisce molto l'impatto ed evita graffi e polvere.

Prodotto sottile e resistente, la protezione che fornisce è più che altro superficiale come si evince anche da tipo di prodotto. Protegge da danni superficiale e ammortizza in minima parte gli urti.

An sich ist die Tasche super zum Schutz vor Staub und Dreck. Mit meinem 18-135 für die es ja auch ausgelegt ist finde ich sie etwas zu knapp. Aber das ist immer ansichtssache

Nutze es für meine a6500 mit 16-70mm f4. Darfür ist die Tasche super. So kann man die Kamera/Objektiv Combo einfach mit in den Rucksack oder eine andere Tasche packen.

Decent quality. Bought for a trip. Discovered too late that this case/cover does not fit the Sony a6500 camera with the Sony G 18-105 lens.
