| This lens case fits my Canon 70-300mm IS USM lens or any one of numerous of similar size. I attach this to my Tamrac Velocity 7 by the same type of attachment system that Tamrac uses for all of thier products. A flap slides into the available MAS system slot on the camera bag and is open VERY securely with a double locking velcro strap system. This leaves plenty of room in the bag for my camera and other gear. Nicely padded to protect your lens investment. |
Perfect fit for a 70-200mm

Hi,
I bought his case specifically for my canon 70-200 F/4. Its a perfect fit. Coudln't be happeir. It doesn't fit the lens hood though, but the case is very well padded, and the lens will be in place lacking a doubt. It holds pretty much most of the lenses in that size class well. I'm not really sure if it would fit the 70-200 f/2.8. I reckon that would be a riddle for something that thick. Otherwise, its fantastic. |
Fantastic case

| it's a well made case, for a camera lens. i bought it for the nikon 70-300vr. the diameter fit very well, but it's a small on the long side for that lens. other than that, it's a well made camera lens pouch. |
A Solution That Works

I have been trying to find a way to easily carry a lot of camera gear for quite some time. I have tried backpacks, shoulder bags, duffel bags, but none of them really worked all that well. Then I saw the Lowepro Street and Field system with completely customizable pouches, vests, belts, and garnishing. It works fantastic, you only get the pouches you need so there is no waisted space and you can organize them though you want according to how often they are used (place frequently used items in simpler to access places.)
The variety alone of this system is worth the investment, but the feature and ease of use is also very high which is a huge plus. You can get a case for any lens, camera body, or belt you have. I even have cases for my cell phone and water bottle. One word of caution, be sure to measure your lens with the lens hood on backwards if you use them to make sure that the entire thing will fit into the pouch, since sometimes the lens will fit, but then the lens with the lens hood will not. I often carry 5-6 lenses, extension tubes, teleconverters, extra memory cards and batteries, and a bunch of cleaning supplies and other gadgets, which weights a ton. But when they are evenly distributed on this vest/belt Lowepro system it is really very manageable.
The only down side is that all will be staring at you since you have thousands of dollars of camera gear in a terrible way to your body. But if you can overlook that, this is the way to go. I have used this system at many zoos lacking ever having problems, in fact just unzipping a single lens and switching seems safer to me than notch an entire bag of gear every time you want to switch lenses. Many of the cases also come with a built in rain/snow cover so if the ride out changes all of your gear is not ruined. You can also place just a few pouches on a normal belt when you are just going to take photos in the back yard or don't need to take all of your gear, which is nice. I really can't say enough about how much simpler this makes roving with a lot of gear, if you have been hopelessly searching for a better solution, deliberate this, you won't regret it.
