Kinesis Compact Long Lens Case Overview

The L511 Compact Long Lens Case 500 from Kinesis provides a secure transport and storage solution for a Nikon or Canon 500 f/4 or Nikon 200-400 f/4 lens with an attached quick release plate and a full-sized DSLR along with the lens's hood in the stowed position and with its leatherette cap in place. A 300 f/2.8 lens with teleconverter and a full-sized DSLR attached can be placed in this case with the hood in the shooting position along with the hood's leatherette cap.

This Kinesis pouch is compatible with both the Kinesis TwinBuckle Attachment System and the Kinesis Attachment Tab System (KATS) for ease of use with Kinesis pouches, harnesses, or straps. The weather-resistant lid features a buckle closure for quickly removing and stowing a lens while shooting. In instances between shots where quickly withdrawing a lens is less of a priority than making sure that it sits securely within the pouch, the lid can also be zippered shut.

The exterior consists of 500 denier nylon for water-resistance. A Kinesis Y515 Heavy-Duty Padded Shoulder Strap is included to allow the case to be carried over one shoulder. Also included is a Kinesis A257 Body Pouch which can accommodate one pro-sized DSLR and can be attached to the lens case.

Fits Canon RF 100-300 With 2x Expander And Even RED Komodo. Extremely Modular With Accessories.

Excellent bag

I purchased this bag to use with my Sony 200-600mm lens and a7iii camera and am very happy with it. It has ample room (in fact the next smaller size might have been adequate), and is very will designed. I have a smaller, holster-type Kinesis bag that has had heavy use for at least 10 years and is still in excellent shape. Great bags and a great company.

Will the bag accommodate a Z8 with the 400mm f/4.5 and 2X teleconverter all attached together?
Asked by: Derick
Yes, the Kinesis L511 Compact Long Lens Case 500 can fit a Nikon Z8 with the 400mm f/4.5 Lens and 2x teleconverter attached since the combo is under the case’s internal height and diameter limits, though the hood may need to be reversed for the best fit.
