C580 fits a "small or large body" with "medium lens" attached as defined on this page.
Originally designed for a pro-sized 35mm SLR body (including D2x or 30D with booster, 1Ds etc.) and a 70-200/2.8. (or 80-200/2.8) lens with the hood in the storage position. Visit the holster sizing info page for info this lens.
This case will also accommodate any body/lens combo listed for the shorter C500 by using the CameraCushion™ you can elevate the body with shorter lenses so it sits near the top of the case.
When used on a waistbelt, the optional Y302 strap kit is recommended to prevent the top of the case from pulling away from the belt.
Field reports:
(3/06): "Just wanted to let you know that the C580 fits my new Hasselblad H2 with 50mm lens and shade like a glove! I may end up putting a shorter rubber eyepiece on the viewfinder, as its about 1/4" longer then desired, but that is about it. I have the RRS L bracket on for the camera."
(5/06): "I thought you would like to know that the large holster case that I ordered earlier this month fits my Hasselblad H2D with the macro 120mm lens with hood on (extended). I can just reach right in and grasp the battery grip, pull the camera out and up to my eye, support it with my left hand, and shoot. All in 5 seconds!"
(02/07): "I find that my 30D with the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L is 10 5/8" tall. Even with my Canon 1.4x extender, it is only 11 3/4" tall and should fit in the C580."
