Need Case for Sigma 50-500 (Bigma)

[mak]

I purchased a used Sigma 50-500mm lens but it didn't include a case. Does anyone have a suggestion for where to get one of the Sigma cases that came wth it originally or another that would be the best fit? Thanks for the help.

I sometimes carry mine in a large LowePro Toploader. The lens fits in, but the lens with camera does not. The larges lens/camera combination that mine will hold is a 70-200 f/2.8 plus camera.

When I am travelling I carry my spare camera with 70-200 in the Toploader, which I sneak into my wife's carry on bag. The main camera, 10-22, 17-55 and 50-500 all ride in my carryon bag. On site, if I need the fast 70-200 I put it and he spare camera in the main bag and carry the 50-500 in the Toploader.

Thanks, I'll check a toploader to see how it fits.

Yeah, they have one listed at 4.5x10 that would fit but I would have to remove the tripod foot. They have another at about 6x12 but that sounds like it would be too big with the lens flopping around inside. A replacement Sigma would be nice but they don't appear to be available. Thanks
