Oh, you big thing!

Sure, a lens case is designed to protect. Otherwise, you could also take a plastic bag. Therefore, the headline is to refer positively. This lens case protects really. My Nikon 70-200 2.8 fits in perfectly and can sometimes be transported in a normal backpack. The quality, materials and workmanship, are used in Lowepro-quality, so very good.
My conclusion: Protects and fits. Would I buy it again.
