too small for a telephoto, to big for...
By actionshotVerified Purchaser from Los Angles on 7/10/2008
Pros:
Cheap
Cons:
Not useful
Best Uses:
Insulator for a 40oz beer
Describe Yourself:
Professional
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I miss understood the size apparently, and thought it would fit my telephoto lens, but it is too small. I thought it might fit one of my other 8 lenses, but it is too big for all of them. It costs too much to return it, so I just kept it, and figure if I start drinking, it will be a good insulator for a 40oz beer can.

There are a few auxillary cases for lenses out there on the market. None, in my experience, can match the quality and price of the Adorama case. It is light, really protects the lens, and seems to be weatherproof - I can't vouch for that without taking it in the shower. My only objection to the case is that it doesn't have a way to quickly attach and release it with a back pack. When containing a lens, it takes up a lot of room in a pack. The idea of getting a separate case for a lens would seem to mean that you're wanting to carry the lens by itself, outside of a back pack or camera bag.

My normal bag is a top-opening, vertically stacked Tamarac Photomessenger 7. I am using two 8" Slinger lens cases to hold all carried lenses (except the one one the camera). This greatly increases the bag's versatility and eliminates the need to dig through velcroed separators within a compartment. One Slinger case is perfect for my 80-200 f2.8. I leave my 28-80 f2.8 on the camera and carry both a 17mm and a 20-35 f2.8 in the other with a half inch foam spacer between them. The bags will accommodate any combination of off camera lenses (but will not zip closed with the 17mm and 28-80 inside - the stack is about an inch too tall). all of these lenses have 77mm filters and fit snugly into the case. The Slinger adds lots of useful protection. It is well padded, and I worry a lot less when I dump the bag down. Its also nice to just pull out one Slinger and go when I don't need every lens in the bag. Well made and excellent value.

I needed to be able to carry my extra lens safely and now I can just hook the case onto my camera's hoster bag and everything is all together ready to go.
