This lens case fits my Canon 70-300mm IS USM lens or any one of several 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 secured 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.

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 without 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 think that would be a problem for something that thick. Otherwise, its great.

I have been trying to find a way to easily carry a lot of camera equipment 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 accessories. It works great, you only get the pouches you need so there is no waisted space and you can organize them however you want according to how often they are used (put frequently used items in easier to access places.)
The variety alone of this system is worth the investment, but the quality and ease of use is also very high which is a big plus. You can get a case for any lens, camera body, or accessory 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, because 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 actually very manageable.
The only down side is that everyone will be staring at you because you have thousands of dollars of camera equipment strapped to your body. But if you can overlook that, this is the way to go. I have used this system at many zoos without ever having problems, in fact just unzipping a single lens and switching seems safer to me than opening an entire bag of equipment every time you want to switch lenses. Many of the cases also come with a built in rain/snow cover so if the weather changes all of your equipment is not destroyed. You can also put 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 equipment, which is nice. I really can't say enough about how much easier this makes traveling with a lot of equipment, if you have been hopelessly searching for a better solution, consider this, you won't regret it.

it's a well made case, for a camera lens. i purchased it for the nikon 70-300vr. the diameter fit very well, but it's a little on the long side for that lens. other than that, it's a well made camera lens pouch.

This case fits the Canon 70-200mm f/4 with space to spare, and the hood could be squeezed into the case if push came to shove. However, given how snug the fit is, I wouldn't take any bets on how well the hood would survive if it was hit/dropped. The case does make for a great addition to a utility belt/harness for quick access to a lens. I've even put it to use as a holster using the 70-200mm and my 5D2 though I'm not sure how useful it was considering the camera ended up hitting my ribs whenever I moved.

Great simple, smart, economical item. My best spent money compare to all of my "way over-priced" photography equiptments. Thanks to Lowepro great designs!

Bought this to store my 20 year old Canon EF 70-210 f/4 lens with hood. The lens fit very easily with plenty of room around the sides, but the hood just made it comfortably. The lens case is well made with decent cushion, though I doubt it would be enough to take a very hard fall.
