Case For Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM?

12/27/2006 08:41:38 PM · #1

Greetings everyone! I hope all are having a wonderful holiday season!

I received the Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens, lens hood and the case that B&H recommended for Christmas. Well, B&H must not take the lens hood in to account because it doesn't fit in the Tamrac lens case they suggested. I was wondering if anyone else has this lens and lens hood and has found a case that fits it with the lens hood reversed on the lens? The lens hood is a good bit wider than the lens itself. I would appreciate any information or links to cases that you have and work for this lens!

I hope everyone has a super New Year!!!

Thanks!!!
Bill

Sorry no idea on the case. You don't have a backpack for your gear? I just bought this lense for my wife for xmas. It fits well both in my large pack and her tiny wanna-be backpack.

I stack my lenses in my backpack without their hoods, then put the hoods upside down over which ever lens they will fit over. Its a bit of a stretch to fit the hoods for the 70-200 and the 100 prime, but with a little juggling they will fit eventually. If you don't want to use a camera bag, you can loop a string through the lens hood and attache it to the side of the lens bag.

Actually, I have a large professional Tamrac bag that I carry my gear in but it is just about splitting at the seams with 2 bodies, 2 flashes, lenses, and everything else I lug around in it. I think it's probably time to upgrade to one of those really large backpacks that also allows me to carry my laptop with my camera gear. A buddy of mine just got one of those and really likes it. Maybe even one of those rolling cases might do the job.(?)

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate that!
