Lens pouch for the fisheye zoom

I just bought the fantastic EF 8-15 L and because i don't like the standad canon bag included in the box, i am here to ask: which is, in your experience, the best lens puoch or case to fit this zoom in? Consider that probably it will be carried and stored outside of my photograpic packpack. Any suggestion will be apreciated.

Re: Lens pouch for the fisheye zoom

I don't know the model number that will work for your specific lens, but for my 11-24 f/4L I bought the Tamrac MX5341 M.A.S. Pro 50 Lens Case. It is made of rip-stop nylon, padded with a belt loop. I'd take a look at the Tamrac pouches.

Re: Lens pouch for the fisheye zoom

Thanks for reply, i know Tamrac products are good ones, but i didn't find any holder that would fit my lens. I ended up with a Kalahari 9x11 cm. lens bag, in which the fisheye is well damped. Being the bag cilindrical, the lens mount side moves a little, while the lens cap side fits perfectly. Maybe a "donuts like" piece of foam on the bottom will solve. If anyone needs to know, also the littles two from Lowepro were right in diameter, but one was a little too short and the other a little long, this one being my second choice for the matter.
