| C447 (Bottomless) | N/A | Small or Large |
Fits nearly any size of body. It is a unique belt-mounted case designed for the photographer on the run, who needs a place to quickly stash a camera body with a lens attached. |
- The “d” or depth dimension of the case corresponds to measuring from the tripod thread (or quick-release plate) to the top of the prism or hot-shoe mount. The C540, C600 & the C850 holsters all have the same top opening dimension. These cases will yield a comfortable fit for a body up to 16cm (6.3") high or a snug fit for a body up to 17.5cm (6.75") high.
- The “w” or width dimension corresponds to the width of your camera body (the left to right dimension as you are holding it up to shoot).
- The “h" or height dimension of the case corresponds to the dimension measuring from the end of your lens cap to the back of the camera or LCD screen.

We have probably the largest selection of cases for super telephoto lenses available anywhere. Because of this, it can be confusing to pick a case, but in the end, it allows a more custom fit for your gear. Selecting the correct long lens case depends on whether or not you intend to carry the lens with a body attached or carry the body separately. Many of our cases are designed to fit the lens with the hood attached (& usually reversed) with the leatherette cap and tripod foot in place. We only attempt to track the sizes of the two mainstream brands...Canon, Sony and Nikon. Sometimes specifications are posted for aftermarket brands, but that is only when we receive reports from customers. Manufacturers do NOT publish the specifications (lengths) for lens hoods mounted in the shooting position, so if you want that configuration, please make your own measurements and compare to the I.D. (inside dimension) specs on our site. As a general rule, follow these guidelines:
*Height: to double-check your lens specs, measure from the end of the lens (with the leatherette hood over the end) to the back of the camera body. Check this against the I.D. (inside dimension) height of the case.
There is a little give in the stock “flat” lid of the PolyCore cases (L321, L522 or L622). It is approx. 15mm (or 5/8").
Diameter: the I.D. diameter is the largest circular (front element) size that will comfortably fit in the case. The problem with some long lenses (esp. Nikkors) is that the tripod mounting foot projects out further than the front element. Viewing the lens directly from above or using a flexible (seamstress style) measuring tape may help provide an estimate on the overall diameter.
