I wondered if this camera bag would fit the Canon 7D with the 15-85mm lens together with the reversed lens hood attached it does! It is a very close fit with some bulges and I do not know yet how durable the material will be in the long run, but for now it does the job perfectly.

(The 15-85mm lens is well under 4 inches long, but a very wide lens and there is no indication of the maximum lens width in the product description. The 15-85mm lens with lens hood attached has a 12.2 inches(31 cm) perimeter and 3.9 inches (10 cm) diameter.)

I would like to note though that it will definitely take more than just a second to get the camera out of the case or back in for storage, it is NOT a fast "walkaround" storage. It does however provide some protection to scratches or bumps and it is so light and the material is so flexible that the camera bag will not take up much space in a pocket or camera backpack. For me the latter was an important plus, so I am very happy with my purchase. Also the feel of the material is very nice and you can carry the camera on its neckstrap while it is in the neoprene bag.

All in all exactly what I was looking for with the only exception that it takes some time to get the camera in and out of the case.

It fits perfectly around the Nikon D7000 with the Nikon 18-200 VRII lens attached. If one swivels the lens hood around, that fits inside the cover as well. As some other reviewers mentioned, this product doesn't allow for easy in/out access to the camera as it is a pretty snug fit. It works well in situations when one wants to take a camera along but not the camera bag. With this neoprene cover on, I just "throw' the camera in my regular bag. If you are looking for a bag that allows for quick access, I would suggest looking elsewhere. However, if you're looking for some good soft padding around your camera without too much bulk and plan to use this bag for protection while traveling, etc. but plan on having the camera out while on location, then this is product is a good fit.

But leaves the corners where the flap folds down open. Would also be nice if there were one or two really small pockets, maybe on the end where hard reinforced part is.

[Note: you can see my video review on YouTube titled "LensCoat DSLR Holster"]

I was looking for a compact holster for ocasions in which I don't want to carry my camera bag around. There were 3 other brands I came across including Zing, OP/TECH USA, and USA Gear, before I discovered the LensCoat, which I think has the best design compared to the others. Each of the brands I mentioned earlier had some sort of problem (unattractive branding, inconvenient button snap closure, ...), but the LensCoat seem to have pulled it out.

Benefits:

1Clean and seamless look, with no unattractive branding

2Easy velcro closure (no annoying button snaps, etc)

3Removable Front Element Protective Disk

4Simple and practical retaining strap

It is a perfect fit for 60D with 15-85mm zoom with hood (mounted for storage)

The only complaint I have is that the price is a bit too high. I would have liked to see this priced similar to OP/TECH or the USA Gear.
