Canon Lens with Case

[rookies]

Which Canon Lens comes with the nice Padded Case? As I know some dont some comes with grey bag type..

I prefer the padded case as more protection.

 

[Jonno_dudley]

I think it's just the 'L' Canon lens. Same with lens hoods, most don't include them

 

[susie]

100-400 does, I'm hoping when I find one the 70-200 2.8 does as well I imagine the longer L lenses do but since I don't have any I await a lottery win before I can help!!

 

[rookies]

Not all L lens comes with the padded case my 17 - 40 L doesnt and a friend 70 - 200 F 4 L doesnt

Strange i have a 70-200 F4 L lens and mine did

My Canon 70-200 2.8L came with a soft grey coloured pouch

Hmmm some people getting the Padded Case and some people getting the Grey Pouch

 

[BertRoot]

The 24-105 comes with a nice suede style grey pouch. Reminds me of a kangaroos scrotum.

Ah yes sorry my mistake, it is a grey pouch. I never use it, takes too much space up in my kitbag.

Really my friend got this with his 5d and he got the grey pouch

i believe only the large primes come with a padded case, i have a 70-200 2.8 IS and that didnt have a case I know the 300 2.8 and up all do, not sure about the smaller lenses, maybe one of the 200 L series lenses does as well.

 

[stellarbeam]

24-70L, just a pouch. Wonder how much you have to spend before you get the padded case! lol

 

[rookies]

That what I am thinking... What gets me is alot of the sigma lens comes in padded case which is good. I like padded case to protect the lens more

Oh Dear, how familiar are you with Kangaroos Bert?

 

[IanC_UK]

when you see how much the damn thing costs, you will see why they arent supplied with the cheaper lenses

Very strange, I have the same lens, and that came with a padded case.
The large primes usually come in a hard carry case.

Which lens that?

 

[Gerods]

70-200 2.8 IS L

 

[CraigDouglas]

From what I have:

50 f1.4 - nothing
24-105 f4 L - Grey Pouch & Hood
200 f2.8 L - Grey Pouch & Hood

and from what i've had in the past:
100 f2.8 macro - nothing
50 f1.8 - nothing
20-35 - nothing
70-200 f4L - Grey pouch & Hood

In contrast with the Sigma I own:
24-70 f2.8 - Padded pouch & Hood
120-400 4.5-5.6 - Padded pouch (with shoulder strap) & Hood & Tripod Collar

 

[rookies]

Yeah I think that lens would

But what case does the
Canon 70 - 200 F4 L IS come in and the F2.8 non is

 

[rookies]

Looks as sigma give out padded case for all their lens then?

Actually now i think about it lol its the same soft case as the 100-400L gawd my memory is shocking !

 

[IanC_UK]

70-200 2.8 IS and 100-400 L IS both come in the same soft padded case. Mine are locked away ina cupboard thats why i forgot em

Other than that i think its the larger primes with the hard padded cases.

 

[rookies]

Yeah I meant the soft padded case sorry for confusion.

 

[kelack]

My Sigmas did but Lowerpro do good padded cases and just googling Lowepro lens Case brings up tons at quite reasonable prices like this one:

[rookies]

very good prices those lens case but I feel when spending big money on canon L we should get padded with them all

 

[grumpybadger]

I think pretty much it is as follows:

1. "Black" L lenses come with a grey pouch (i.e. 24-105, 17-40, 24-70 etc)
2. "White" L lenses come with padded case (i.e. 70-200/2.8, 100-400, 300/4, 400/5.6) although I think someone said the 70-200/4 comes with a grey pouch
3. Super primes (200/2, 300/2.8, 400/4DO, 400/2.8, 500/4, 600/4, 800/5.6) come with hard cases that people just store in the attic.

Not quite, the 16-35 comes with the pouch but the 180 macro (black) comes with the padded case and both come with the lens hood

 

[rookies]

why cant canon just provide the soft padded case for all their L Lens? Wont be wise?

 

[grumpybadger]

By my list the 16-35 should come with a pouch as it isn't white. I always forget the 180 macro on these things. It is also one of the few black lenses that with take a Canon extender.

I think all L lenses come with hoods...

 

[Ric Type R]

My 100-400 + 70-200 2.8 Came with zipped cases.

 

[CraigDouglas]

I always forget the 180 macro on these things. It is also one of the few black lenses that with take a Canon extender.

The 200 2.8 is also a black lens and that takes tele converters (i assume thats what you meant by extender?)

 

[StewartR]

I'm surprised Canon Bob hasn't come on here to set everything straight. Looks like it's up to me then...

HARD CASES.
The following Canon lenses come in a hard case: 200/2L IS, 300/2.8L IS, 400/2.8L IS, 400/4 DO IS, 500/4L IS, 600/4L IS, 800/5.6L IS.

PADDED ZIP CASES.
Padded light grey zip cases are supplied with the following Canon lenses: 28-300L IS, 70-200/2.8L (IS and non-IS), 100-400L IS, 300/4L IS, 400/5.6L, 180/3.5L Macro.

SUEDE POUCHES
Grey suede pouches are supplied with all Canon "L" and "DO" lenses other than those listed above - in other words, the 70-200/4L (IS and non-IS) and all black "L" lenses except the 180/3.5L macro.

In addition, some non-L lenses may be supplied with pouches. I don't really have much expertise here, but I was very surprised to see that the most recent EF-S 10-22mm which I bought - out of about 8 in total - came supplied with a pouch. That's my only Canon lens (other than "L" and "DO") which came in a pouch. Are Canon changing their policy? It would be interesting to know.

HOODS.
All Canon "L" and "DO" lenses come with hoods. As I've said I don't have much experience of non-"L" lenses, but what I have seen suggests that they don't come with hoods.

 

[Canon Bob]

I'm surprised Canon Bob hasn't come on here to set everything straight.

He was wondering, based on some of the posts above, whether there were differences in pouch/padded case choice depending which region the lens was originally intended for....it seems not.

I can add that the two non-L TS-E lenses both come with soft pouches.
