can anybody recommend a protective, yet unbulkly pouch for this lens thats wide enough to fit the hood as well (hood reversed of course)?

Torlia TL-7040XTm Fitted Case for Tamron 150-600 lens $29.99 Torkia TL-7040XTm Fitted Case for Tamron 150-600mm Lenses I have been extremely satisfied with this case. There is a zipper to extend the length of this case making it fit with the hood although I invert the hood and slip over the lens. Good quality case. also has 2 small sleeves in the top of the case for misc.

I think the MX5347 was designed for something like the 70-200 f2.8L. Check out the Tamrac MX5341 instead. I use for the 70-300L so it should definitely fit your lens with reversed hood.

It will fit perfectly (about 1/4" to spare - width wise) with hood and filter attached. Lens will slip out nicely, not snug, not too loose.

The one I use is most like one on the Adorama site if you search for "Sony Nylon Soft Carrying Case-organizer for camera." I had a friend make a little cloth pouch to go around it to protect the lens inside of the bag.

Specifically to address this issue I purchased the 55MM Collapsible Rubber Lens Hood for Camera Lens with 55MM Filter Thread by Goja from Amazon and it works GREAT. It has three positions and works pretty well,but I do have an issue with vignetting when shooting at widest angle (full wide 20mm) but that is easily corrected by zooming out a bit, or if full wide is desired easily take the hood off in a sec.

This hood has to be screwed into the threading of the 18-55mm lens. It gives the option to use the other mount feature but that hasn't worked for me because it doesn't fit that way.

I got the lens adaptor for the filter lenses, which are 58mm. There are a varity of hoods that fit that standard size. There are a few designs, full tube types and even collapsable ones. Just whichever one fits your needs. I actually have two. You'll also need a standard 58mm size lens cap. I recommend getting the one with a tether string with elastic loop that fits around the main lens of the camera. This will keep you from losing the cap. It's short enough to not be in the way and makes it all worry free so to speak. Filters also help protect the main lens from dust and scratches. So even keeping a standard UV filter on all the time is important for not only haze and glare, but protection as well.

On e*b*a*y search gf1 leather case. There is one that fits on your belt with the 20mm lens. Looks interesting.

I'm using the Large Pouch for a small lens with an adapter that measures 4" long x 1.5" wide lens. The pouch could fit a lens approximately "1" inch wider and your lens shouldn't be any LONGER. If its a few 1/10's shorter it would fit better. So compare YOUR LENS spec's with 2.5" x (a tiny bit less than) 4". Hope this helps you and any others in the future. Bear in mind that these pouches are made buy hand in Asia and no two are EXACTLY the same. YOUR milage WILL vary!

I put the lens side rearward; since it is leather, it should loosen up; I believe I remember it was tight at first, then perfect after a short while. Also, I use the strap as added protection to keep it from sliding out, and perhaps you can use the same strap, to pull it out until it loosens up.

I have a Canon 75-300mm lens in the case which is slightly under 6" in length. When it is in the extra pouch I purchased for it, it is 7 1/4" in length X 3 " in diameter and fits fine upright in the bag. The top of the bag slips amply over the front of the bag and the two straps are adjustable so I would expect that a lens that is 8" to 8 " in length would fit and still be secure in the upright position. A lens that is 9 " long could fit length wise in the bag or on top of some shorter lenses beneath or vise versa. The partitions inside the bag allow for several arrangements or can be removed as needed. There are no exterior straps made to hold a really long lens in the 12" to 15" length on the outside.

Might fit, but not designed to provide the shielding required to keep stray light out of the lens. Hoods are optimized for individual lens focal lengths so it will not be optimum.

Check the Canon web site it is very specific about which lens and hood go together

With the lens hood reversed, there's several mm of room to spare. It fits snugly with the hood mounted normally. The case diameter is several mm larger in diameter than the lens so it can move around a bit. The I have a 1W lowepro case that fits the lens snugly on both length and diameter - but it will only fit with the hood reversed.

Not sure, my son has mine with his Canon gear. My only thought might be to turn the hood upside down with the lens inside to lessen/lower the profile.

Someone on a GF1 list used a lowepro lens case that seemed to work great. It was the Lowepro LC 1N.http://www.flickr.com/photos/thebloater/4334969168/

I don't think it will fit good, but it may just fit. And I don't think it's the best cover to protect that lens either. It's way too thin and doesn't really give much protection.
