Perfect for 400/4.5

By James
Rated 5 out of 5

This is the case for the Nikon 500/5.6 PF lens, but it also happens to be just about perfect for the 400/4.5 Z lens.

Bought this for my 400mm f4.5S Z lens, and also my 70-200 f2.8. Works great with either one. Case is very high quality, excellent protection.

Will this bag fit with the Z9 attached to the 400 2.8 lens?
Asked by: Jeff
Not in terms of providing protection for the camera body and for the mounting of the camera to the lens. Better to buy something like the Ruggard Alpine 600 that is 3 inches longer and has larger pockets for additional items.

The Ruggard Alpine 600 is a better lens case as are the ones from Kenesis for this lens. Both provide two should straps and larger pockets for additional items.

Are there two shoulder straps or only one?

Are there two shoulder straps or only one?
Asked by: Bruce
Only one strap and it is sewn into place so no way to add a second strap. For the price it is better to spend another $30 and get the LowePro Trekker AW 600 II lens bag with two straps and an outer pocket large enough for holding a teleconverter and Kirk SS-1 carry strap.

Will a Nikon 200-500mm lens fit?
Asked by: Randy
The Nikon CL-L3 Lens Case would be too large for the Nikon 200-500mm lens. The Ruggard Lens Case (12.5 x 5.5") would be a better fit: (BH #RULCY112X5 • MFR #LCY-112X5).

Does this fit a Nikon Z 180-600mm ? Or is it too big?
Asked by: Paul
The CL-L3 lens case does fit a Nikon Z 180-600mm lens. It is too big for it, but you can fit the lens with the body attached so that could be convenient.
