The black Lens Drop from Think Tank is a very functional pouch since it permits you to store your lens with hood attached in shooting position. Its soft lining guards the finish and glass of your lens even if you leave the lens cap off stored in the included slip pockets. The pouch is large enough to store small lenses such as your basic 50mm 1.4, 20mm f/2.8 or 35mm f/2 - even if the hood extends above the rim of the pouch.
The wide mouth opening provides quick access to the lens via its one-handed drawstring top. A top grab handle makes transport easy especially if you're trying to retrieve the pouch from a backpack or closet.
The padding is mid-weight and, as mentioned, the interior is soft-lined creates a gentle nest for the lens. It is supplied with attachment loops to secure it to Think Tank's optional Keep-It-Up shoulder strap. In addition, it will attach to any optional Think Tank belt or belt pack.
The Rotate or Lock technology will make sure the pouch never gets in your way when attached to a belt since you'll be able to easily move it anywhere on the belt to accommodate your shooting stance whether standing, kneeling or prone. A handy included rain cover assures the optic will be guarded from inclement weather and will also keep dust, dirt and other contaminants off your lens. The pouch is backed by Think Tank's lifetime warranty against manufacturer's defects.

Comments about Think Tank Photo Lens Drop (Black):
Everything from ThinkTank is absolutely awesome. I own tons of their gear. This Lens Drop is a new generation model that is nicer than its replacement. The spandex lens cover pocket is perfect - even fits a 77mm cap easily. The only thing is the barrel lock for the constriction cords is attached to the body of the bag making it nearly impossible to operate with one hand. (I am usually holding a camera and lens in my left hand and operate the bag with my right.) I like to be able to constrict and expand the opening with one hand like the older model so I just cut the little piece of fabric that retains the barrel lock to the bag. Problem solved! Works like I want!
