Lens Case for Tamron 150-600mm?
Apr 7, 2015 14:26:55 #
I just got my Tamron 150-600mm lens and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a case for the lens. Looking for something to store it in at home as well as potentially carry it to different locations where it would be used. Thanks for any advice! OBTW, after about a half a day and 50 or so shutter clicks, I love it!

The Lowepro Lens Case #5 is the only dedicated lens case that I have found that fits the Tamron complete, meaning with the tripod collar installed and the lens hood reversed. There are others that fit it without the lens hood or collar.

I've got a Sigma 150-500. Will check this out. Maybe it would work for my lens.

The Sigma lenses all come with their own custom padded cases, so you don't need to buy aftermarket cases like Tamron makes you have to.

I'm looking for something that I can attach to my camera bag. it's a Think Tank with a waist pack that pivots. I'd like to be able to carry my large lens attached to "rails" on the waist pack. May see if I can sew a strip of webbing onto the lens case so I can run the strap of the waist pack through it. If not, I'll see if I can make something with a draw string, padding and a strap for attaching to my waist pack.

Collie, Lowpro makes a belt system that is made to attach those lens cases to. The cases will also attach to some/most(?) of their backbacks.
I think the belt is called a Lightbelt but they may have several. Good luck. ;-)

Very disappointing that Tamron don't supply a Sigma type case for the Tammy 150-600. Two weeks ago I was talking with the Chief Exec of the sole importers of Tamron in the UK (Intro 2020) at the National Photography show at the National Exhibition Centre Near Birmingham, UK. When asked on the subject of a protective lens case for the Tamron 150-600, he stated there will be one available in the UK in about a month to six weeks time. and he was hoping Tamron would produce one with and for the Tamron 150-600, but he could not answer about the USA, but he did say the lens was selling like hot cakes. In his opinion when questioned about the build of this long lens is the best build Tamron so far has achieved, far better than for example the 18-270 mm B008 3.5-6.3.

Just buy a Nest gimbal head from MT SHooter. Since the head stays on my tripod the case is not being used. Take out the formed padding and the lens will fit and have room for a zip lock bag with a sandwich and snack bars. At least that works for me. I got a great gimbal head and a case for my lens. Now if I could just figure how to get the lens, sandwich, head and tripod all in the case at once.

Don't let MT Shooter's modesty fool you.
He carries the bestest case there is for your new Tamron.
Buy a Nest Gimbal head from him. Put the head on your tripod, and the case it comes in fits your new Big Tammy perfectly, with a little room to spare. ;)
Scroll down a tiny bit.

While the padded case for the Nest Gimbal head does indeed make a very nice case for the Tamron 150-600mm lens, it is unfortunately not available to purchase separately and is only available for free with the Nest Gimbal head.
But with over 600 of the Nest heads sold to date, there are probably a few owners out there that are not using their case and some may be available. Anyone???

Sooner, or later, he's gonna want a Great Gimbal head anyway....

Certainly after hand holding that hefty lens for awhile I am sure he will be checking into them.
BTW, I just posted some comparison pics of the Tamron vs. the Sigma "C" lens, if you are interested.

Nope. Since we discussed this the last time, my Nest gimbal case is now the case for a Sigma 150-500. The Sigma case is extremely well padded but just to bulky.

I had my Big Tammy on 3 different heads before the Nest Gimbal. But the Gimbal is far and away the very best way to use the big lenses and cameras.
Such balance!
Yep, been to your post already. :)
