Perfect for canoe or kayak

By Scott
Rated 5 out of 5

Purchased this case for photography from my canoe. The size is perfect for my Z6 III with Z 180-600 attached or the 100-400 attached to the body plus room for the 24-200. The egg crate foam was removed to accommodate the hood on the 180-600. Backfilled the space in the lid with thinner closed cell foam packaging scraps.

Good For The Money

Quality wise it is a 5 STAR purchase.  I found the usable width is just 5.5 inches.  You can squeeze in a little more for a very tight fit!  It is as best I can find for this size of hard case.  Thus why the 4 stars.  I hope one day, someone can make a similar hard case with 18 to 20 W x 6.5 to 7 D x 7 to 7.5 Tall usable inner space.  BH service is the best for the money!
