In general, there are two types of lens pouch: a lightweight, rather thin type meant to keep items separated from each other inside a camera bag, and a more heavy-duty, thickly padded, abrasion resistant and sometimes rain-tight type to attach to a loop outside a camera backpack, belt or vest. These JJC lens pouches are of the second type, and I own three different sizes. When ordering, make sure that the internal size fits your lens with a little room to spare. You don't want your lens to fit so tightly that you cannot take it out of the pouch or put it back with a single hand, and you don't want the lens to rattle inside a pouch twice as bit as the needed size. When ordering a lens pouch for a long lens with tripod collar, take into account the collar and any additional tripod plate and strap. Measure also the diameter of the lens shade, if you store it reversed at the front of the lens. Measure the actual length of the lens, including front and rear caps and any filters you keep permanently mounted on the lens. All this without using the net pocket under the cap of the pouch. This particular pouch (DLP1) fits comfortably a lens 115 mm long and with an 80 mm diameter. With some stretching its fits a lens up to 125 mm long as specified, and a diameter of 90 mm, but this is as much as it stretches, Don't try fitting a bigger lens. This lens pouch is not built to be rainproof, although a few drops passing through the zipper will not be a problem as they will not touch the lens if the pouch is mounted upright in its intended orientation. It does not have a raincoat. On the plus side is an extremely low weight in spite of the tough nylon exterior and thick closed-cell padding. The attachment loops are quite similar to those used on more expensive lens cases like the Lowepro Street & Field, which I also use.Read full review
