does it come with a carry case, i assume the lens is fragile...

It comes with a soft pouch but it's not as fragile as you would think. It's a solid piece.

I forgot to add that each lens is covered with a plastic cap. So no lens or glass is exposed.

No unfortunately, it does not come with a case. Its pretty in convenient to carry this.

Yes. It comes with a basic lens case in which the lens, cap, and hood all fit.

No, it does not. I ordered both at the same time and found out for myself. I opted to keep the nicely made hard case and return the auto lens cover, which I didn't think gave the lens much protection anyway. Hope this helps.

Normally it comes with a very nice case but I don't remember if it had a hood or not. Normally i never use the hoods of any of my lenses. This lens is one of the nicest and clearest long lenses I have used and the macro capability is very nice because you don't have to get so close to your subject. Kind regards dm

Yes, it comes with a rigid case as well as a soft cloth bag. It also comes with a nice padded neckstrap and covers for all the lenses.

Yes, a case which you can hang around your neck, and 4 lids that you put on the lens. It also includes a small cloth to clean it with. Hope this helps

You should buy the case made for it, as the lens is not flat, so it needs to be protected. An extra battery is always nice.

All of the above. I wouldn't buy a new lens that didn't come with lens caps. The hood is a fixed (non-collapsible) one of limited usefulness, IMHO. The case is designed for the lens, more-or-less hard-sided, with carrying strap. The lens goes inside my camera pack, so I don't carry the case. The lens is great.

It does *not* come with a carrying case. You buy one. The "real" inexpensive ones that purport to hold a 17" load will, with a medium -size head (like a Manfrotto 496) folded 90deg. TIGHT ! ;zippers are poorly attached at ends... Suggest you get case for 18-24" tripod, of higher quality ($). No specific suggestions, sorry.

Depends on who you buy the lens from. Always check. A used lens reseller could separate the lens from the case. Or, the prior user may not have liked the case. The case is a solid case and a great place to store the lens when it is not in your kit bag.

Yes it comes with a carry bag and 5 external lenses and 3 internal, good quality lens protectors, took me a year of heavy use to use them all

Mine did not come with a carrying case, but did have caps for the big-ends and this trough-thing that covered both of the eyepieces. Caps are GARBAGE and basically cracked / fell off / blew-away within a season. That aside, these are the most awesome binocs I've had or tested, and I've got 5-6 seasons without caps and they're still awesome.

Yes, it does come with a carry case but it isn't durable or heavy duty at all. I had destroyed the case within a week of use and ended up using my bianchi flashlight carry case which worked great. It does include the extension tube along with the clip and an inner tube if you decide to use a smaller type of battery.

Yes, it has both a case and lens covers. The covers for the large end attach to the straps, but they aren't made very well and they are easily lost due to their design. It is best NOT to attach them to the straps and just put them in your pocket or in the case. These are otherwise an outstanding set of binoculars and I highly recommend them.

yes it does but it's plastic and the camera lens was scratched. it's a hit n miss with the lens.
