Soft case for 500mm F4 mk1.

[Steve_B]

As the title says, can anyone recommend a softcase Lowepro style for the above? My searches are unsuccesful as even when I put in the specific lens, it's coming up with products that aren't big enough to take the lens. Any help gratefully recieved.

Greetings,

The Ruggard Alpine 600 will work if you want to pay $169

I bought the JJC DLP-8II for my 200 - 800 but 500 F4 will fit too.  It's $40 bucks. It comes with shoulder, handle and belt carry options.  You can carry with the hood reversed in the case as well.  Check Amazon.

Hmm. Every page I look at seems to have a different length specification.  (mkI or mkII)  I'll go with your measurement since you have the lens.  The Canon 500B is a hard case so that's not what you're looking for.  

Lowepro trekker 600 awII.  The thing is once you get into cases this large some manufacturers assume that you want to have the lens mounted on a body too.

Bingo!! Thank you. I'd looked at Lowepro but no idea why it didn't come up.
