Product Description
- This case was originally designed to carry a 300/2.8 lens with a body attached, but with the subsequent introduction of the L311 you may find that case more suitable because of it’s more compact design. This case however will offer more protection than the L311.
- This case uses the Kinesis exclusive PolyCore™ construction with semi-rigid sidewalls & bottom.*
L029 Accessory Note: This case is sized to fit full-sized SLRs bodies (with a little extra room so you can reach in and around the body) and 300/2.8 lens. You may find the 300mm lens dwarfed by the large inside diameter of this case. We recommend the $19 L029 Foam Insert when using a 300mm or 500mm with this case. Otherwise choose the more compact E970, L311 or L511 instead.
Mesh Pocket Note: We have transitioned from using a solid nylon fabric pocket (as shown in most product photos) to a mesh pocket as shown in the detail photo.

Fits the Following
- 300/2.8 w/ teleconverter, 400/4, 200/2.0 lens & a DSLR body (with quick-release plate attached) and hood attached in the stowed postion (with leatherette lens cover)**
- For a smaller case for your 300/2.8 lens only, without a body attached, select the E660 lens pouch instead.
External Attachment Options
Sides A double-wide pouch (A257, M330 etc.) can be attached to either side of the lower side of the case, but this attachment location is a little loose which may cause the pouch to shift around a little, unless secured with a Y205 strap.
Back (flat) Side of the Case A double-wide pouch (A257, M330 etc.) can be attached to the lower back or flat part of the case, although this disables use of any backpack harness or may make using a shoulder strap awkward.
Tripod Use Remove the A257 center pouch (shown in photo above) and replace it with a T164 or T317 pouch for attaching a tripod (see this page for pix). Attach a Y204 to the top of the case to hold the top part of the tripod. The A257 can then be reattached to the upper or lower part of the case, slightly off center.
