I'm looking for a new lens case for the 100-400mm w/ hood reversed... just something more durable than the provided soft case. I have a LowePro 3 and while it fits with the hood, it's a very tight squeeze and I worry the hood would get deformed or possibly broken.

Would a LowePro 4 work? The LowePro claims it's slightly wider on the inside. I also consider a LowePro 5S, but it seems too wide.

Also it would have to be a case which zippers close (so no Think Tank cases).

Accessories: Speedlite 580EX II, Gitzo 1541T tripod, Markins Q3 Traveler ballhead

Are you looking for a case to use when youre only using the 100-400 attached to a body, or are you thinking youll be putting the 100-400 in a case while youre using other lenses? I use the Lowepro Topload 75 AW for my gripped or ungripped 5D with the 100-400 attached and hood reversed. That might work for you depending on how youre intending to "use" this setup.

Seperate stand-alone case. It's mainly for certain types of travel/packing (i.e. wilderness backpacking, etc) when I need to keep individual items a small as possible and therefore need to have things segregated in seperate cases.

LowePro 4 will work. I have one and use it interchangeably between the 100-400 and 70-200 F2.8.
