I recently purchased a used Canon 300mm f4 L and it didn't have a case. This lightweight case was perfect for this lens. It fits snugly, but not too tight.

The case is lined with about 1/2" of high density foam. I'm pretty sure that this case would adequately protect a heavy L series lens in a 4-5 foot fall. The case can be used with my Tamarac MAS bag, but most of the time I sling the lens and case over my shoulder using the attached shoulder strap.

This is a very secure, reasonably priced lens case that provides excellent protection for your valuable lenses.

The lens case is very solid, the padding feels very protective

The only downside is that my 70-200 f2.8 IS with tripod ring attached is only a (very) tight fit... maybe it is just me asking too much, I would actually like to have my quick release plate mounted too, hahaha

This case is everything I have come to expect from Lowepro. High quality, very padded, and holds my lens including the lens hood. This is not a small case. I carry my Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS lens in this case. I don't mind the diameter being large to accommodate the lens with it's hood. I frequently leave my large camera backpack in the trunk of my car when I go hiking to shoot pictures. I carry a second lens in the lens case and wear it over my shoulder with the shoulder strap that comes on the lens case. While on the trail I can switch lenses. Should I slip or lose my balance, I never worry that the lens in its protective case will get damaged.

The Lowepro Case 4 is a great case for a long telephoto. It's well padded, well-built and protects the lens very well. However, I tried to use it with a small Lowepro Rezo 190 AW and found that (even using the SlipLock attachment) it completely unbalanced the bag. It was so uncomfortable and unpredictable, that I finally gave up and bought a Lowepro AW Magnum (where all the gear I use fits inside the bag) to replace both. I now just use the Case 4 for storage purposes or to bring the telephoto along in the car when I'm "hand-carrying". I believe it would work much better as an attachment on a medium size bag where another lens case could be hung on the other side of the bag to better balance the weight.

The Lowepro Case 4 is a good tight fit for the Canon 100-400mm IS USM L lens. I didn't see it listed in reviews, but bought one to try. I have the lens hood on, the tripod mount turned toward the corner of the flat back case, and it fits nice and snug. The padding is almost 3/4" foam and very firm. The water resistant nylon case has quite a number of carrying options. Built in tab eyes to tie to a pack, a handle, a shoulder strap, a Velcro strap, and two buckled belts are all included. Suffice to say, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Oh yes, this case has a Lowepro LIFETIME Warranty. Not bad for about $25.

Great case super sturdy, ample padding, nicely sealed when zipped shut & made out of really tuff Lowepro Lens Case 4 (Black) Cordura like nylon material. Straps easily to my Lowepro sling shot camera bag. Plenty of room to hold my Nikon 70-200mm VR f2.8 zoom lens 77mm diameter. Just know that the Lowepro Lens Case 4 (Black) is one really big case so make sure you need this big oF a lens case before buying. Check out the dimentions provided for the case and measure your lens to be sure the case will not will not be to big for your lens.

I love this case works great for my needs and provides excellent protection for my very expensive lens. l would definitely recommend this lens case if the size meets your needs.

This item was exactly as listed. The shipping was a little slow but I am very satisfied with the item and the savings as compared to other listings.

I purchased this Lowepro 4 case specifically for a Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS II lens and it fits perfectly. I prefer the Lowepro case for its superior padding and better protection over the Canon LZ1326 zippered soft lens case that was supplied with the lens. I also prefer the zippers around the lid of this case versus zippers on the side which the Canon offers. It's just easier and quicker to work with. On the down side, this case is significantly larger than the Canon.

As far as the fit, I store the lens facing down with the hood reversed and with the tripod collar in place on the lens. It's a nice, snug fit as others have mentioned. I wouldn't say it's too tight, but comfortably snug. I was also able to fit the lens into the case with hood reversed, tripod collar and a Manfrotto 200PL-14 quick release plate attached, but this was pushing it. So I removed the Manfrotto plate and stored it in the internal storage pocket within the lid of the case.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase. While the Canon LZ1326 case is indeed a quality case, I much prefer this alternative at a very reasonable price.

Perfectly fits my Canon 300mm f4 IS with tripod ring attached. The protection is also good, although the strap could be better.

Its a well built lens bag. I bought it to fit my Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS. It is very snug with the len's tripod ring & hood. It will also fit the my 17-40 with hood and the 24-105 with hood. I bought the lens bag because it can be attached to my Lowepro Reporter 400AW, OffRoad, and Toploader 75AW. Overall I'm very happy with it.
