Hi all. Anyone know of a case for the 580EX that has a belt loop?
Looking for something with a good fit the way a Tamrac or Lowepro type lens case fits a lens.
I just searched the B&H site but couldn't find one that's a good fit.
Thanks.
Jack

You could probably get a wide nylon strap from a local sewing shop and stitch a belt loop onto your 580EX soft case. Nah, I'm dangerous with a needle and thread! heh heh 20D, 30D, 500f/4L IS, 300f/4L IS, 300f/2.8L IS, Canon 1.4TC, Canon 2xTC, 70-300IS, 17-85IS, EFS 10-22, Sigma 150 Macro, 3021PRO, RRS BH-40LR, Gitzo 1325, full Wimberley Head v2, Wimberley Sidekick, and a bunch of other stuff.

It is probably a bit large even for 580 EX - I have a 420EX and it fits there with the Sto-fen omni bounce and it has still extra space. The good thing is that you won't have to pry it out. The attachment system is nice and sturdy, it will keep the pocket tightly close to the belt (rather than let it dangle), which is nice. It is quick to access, holds close well, and quick to attach to the belt (unlike conventional loops). I have two of these pockets, and use them as an extension to my tamrac expedition 5 backpack (to store and carry accessories and the flash unit) as well as for keeping the data bank on my belt in concerts.Yep, saw that one too, but it's still too small for the 580 (the 580 is about 2 1/2 inches thick). 20D, 30D, 500f/4L IS, 300f/4L IS, 300f/2.8L IS, Canon 1.4TC, Canon 2xTC, 70-300IS, 17-85IS, EFS 10-22, Sigma 150 Macro, 3021PRO, RRS BH-40LR, Gitzo 1325, full Wimberley Head v2, Wimberley Sidekick, and a bunch of other stuff.
