| Pros: | Large, fits 70-200 with Hood, well made, multiple methods of carry | | Cons: | Costly, bulky | |
I asked what lens case folks use to carry their large 70-200/2.8 lenses on the forum and one "whit" said the case that it came in - haha. Seriously, the cases that the lenses come in don't work very well with other carry systems in my experience and the Tamron case is an example. Nice enough for shelf storage but for use in the field its a loss.
This is certainly big enough for the Tamron 70-200/2.8 with reversed hood and tripod mount attached.
It's got quite a few ways to carry it - handle, daisy-chain loops and tie-downs, SlipLock attachment, and shoulder strap.
Padding is fairly think all around and provides good protection.
Stitching is tight all around with good seams throughout.
Case stands up and is steady when placed on the ground.
Handle and d-rings for shoulder strap are securely fastened to the body.
When unzipped lid stays in place until tilted back, but once tilted back will stay open without being held in place.
The included shoulder strap is a 1in wide strip of webbing with no adornment or addition.
