100-400 soft case question

Hi All

Does the soft case that comes with the 100-400 have a belt strap or shoulder strap?

I am hiring one soonish and if necessary, as I really wish to buy this lens sometime, will buy a Lowepro lens case but if the Canon softcase is carryable then there is no rush?

Oh, which Lowepro lens case is the right/best one ideally one of those with the "Sliplock" attachment?

TIA for any insight

Hi!

I've take you a pic of one of mine two (same case for 70-200 and 100-400). You can use it both ways with shoulder strip or on your beld as you can see...

Have fun with this beautiful lens...

No straps that I remember seeing but it has belt loops.

It should come with a shoulder strap that you can attach... At least mine did

Mine came with a ridiculous excuse for a "shoulder strap" about 5/8" wide. I'll pay 1 million dollars to anyone who can stand to carry it for 10 hours straight on their shoulder while wearing a T shirt.

Actually, in my opinion the entire case is a joke, considering what the lens is worth. I ditched the whole deal, and use a "formerly owned" padded case that one of my ebay Nikkors came in!!!

I now use the factory Canon case for my Nikkor 180mm F2.8, which I occasionally still shoot on the Xt

The strap shown is actually LARGER than --wherever it went to that came with it--

Yea the canon case is kinda pretty, but I would never use it for travel. Get a Lowepro case!

the 100-400 comes with the tripod ring when ordered from amazon right?

It think it is impossible to get it new without...

Thanks guys for all the feedback.

So the Canon case maybe OK for the situation of the period of hire but for the longterm plan of owning one a Lowepro lens case is king ~ which size (part number?) works best? Having said that I am tempted to get a Flipside 300 (?) bag to replace my Slingshot 200AW ~ the Slingshot has been good but has its oddities and would not take the 100-400 anyway, so maybe a "case" of a lens case is £20 but 2.5x that (must check the prices) I get the Flipside. Oh, but why no AW double version of the Flipside???

I will do one better, I will do that, but only if I can keep the 100-400 instead of a million. This is a total savings of $998,600.

Canon's idea of a shoulder strap is just a glorified heavy duty nylon shoe string. What a shame for the price charged. A $1400+ lens with a $10 case and a 50 cent strap. Buy something to protect your investment.
