I want to make myself a bean bag to support my Nikon 40DX with standard kit lens. Can anyone recommend the best size to make it please?
The best solution I've found is two beanbags sewn together. Wildlife Watching Supplies do them. Each is about 6 inches square and overall weight is about 1.5kg I think

To my mind the only honest use for a lentil is as a filling for a beanbag
You can your home made beanbags too. Take two pair of old men's jeans and cut the legs off at the crotch. Pick the least sturdy seam (of the two) and cut up the length. Do the same to each of the four pant legs. Open each up leg. Sew the four legs together using the cut side seams. If there is a taper alternate wide and narrow. This should make one long width of cloth. Seam up the two free ends. Now you should have a cylinder. Fold flat and seam bottom. Then starting at the middle seam the top to the side. Then leaving a space to stuff in the foam beads, dried beans or peanut seam to the other side. Whip stitch opening shut with heavy thread. You now have a lovely sturdy beanbags.
I'm not sure if i'm supposed to plug my wifes little hobby, but I can 100% vouch for the camera bean bags that she so skillfully makes
