As per title, are the lowepro lens cases able to fit on the think tank belt ( i think it was the pro belt, not the steroid or skin belt)? Over time, I've gotten quite a few lens cases / pouches for my gear, and selling them off to purchase modular lens cases just isn't what I want because they serve me well, and can sliplock to my lowepro toploader or stealth reporter shoulder bag.

i have couple of lowepro lens cases and they all work on my Steroid Speed Belt. They should work with the Pro belt too. Lowepro lens case are big and heavy compare to TT.

Thanks for the info!

I'm not sure which I'd like to get, though. I bought my lowepro lens case 1W to fit my 17-40L (with 17-55 hood reversed) and be able to sliplock it to my toploader. However, for event shooting, lens cases will be on the belt. In that case, should I go for a Think Tank Lens Case 75 pop down or a Lowepro lens case 4? They're priced similarly. I don't think I'll have a need to attach either lens case to a bag.

i have both cases and i never carry my lowepro with me on any wedding event.
the lowepro is bigger and more bulky cause the thick padder. it is good to protect your lens but i dont' want to carrry it on my waist for whole day. The only thing i dont like the TT is the raincover, they should build inside the case just like the Lowepro AW line.

you can see my 70-200 f4 with both cases

Thanks for the photos! I'll go with the Think Tank then. Makes more sense to me.

Also, shouldn't your tripod quick release plate be rotated 90 degrees? (:
