LensCoat LensPouch lens case XXL Short (Ø13.9cmx21.6cm) Digital Camo

LensCoat LensPouch Lens Case XXL Short Digital Camo, generous protection for slightly larger lenses

With the LensCoat LensPouch Lens Case XXL Short in Digital Camo, you add an amazingly spacious yet pleasantly handy protective cover for your large telephoto lenses to your setup. The pouch is specially designed for bulkier lenses with a short barrel and, with a diameter of approx. 13.9 cm and a height of approx. 21.6 cm, offers plenty of space for high-quality optics, ball heads or other photo accessories that you don’t want flying around loosely in your backpack when you’re on the go.

Especially practical: the XXL Short version bridges the gap between very long telephoto lens pouches and smaller pouches. It is perfect for fast telephoto lenses that look rather “stubby” but have a substantial girth; this LensPouch fits exactly this combination quite precisely.

Suitable for lenses such as Nikon, Fuji and more

The dimensions of the LensCoat LensPouch Lens Case XXL Short (Ø 13.9 cm x 21.6 cm) are ideal when you want to safely store high-quality telephoto lenses that are not extremely long but noticeably wider. Typical use cases include, among others:

• for Nikon F lenses: Nikon 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR NIKKOR
• for Nikon Z lenses: Nikon Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S NIKKOR (2022)
• for Fuji lenses: Fuji 200m f/2 R LM OIS WR XF

Depending on the lens hood, tripod collar or teleconverter mounted, it can of course vary a bit how snugly everything fits. We recommend always adding about 2 to 2.5 cm to the actual lens length when choosing the right LensPouch size so that you can close the pouch cleanly with the drawstring without the edge “pinching” against the lens or bunching up unattractively.

Soft neoprene protects against impacts and scratches

The core of the LensCoat LensPouch Lens Case XXL Short is the soft yet surprisingly robust neoprene material. This flexible material wraps around your lens like a padded shell and protects against impacts and scratches that can easily occur during transport in a backpack, trolley or suitcase. Especially when you transport several lenses or a ball head together in one bag, the neoprene reliably prevents hard edges from knocking against each other.

An additional rigid foam plate is integrated into the bottom of the lens case. This reinforced bottom padding protects your lens’s sensitive front element from pressure, blows and unwanted contact with hard surfaces. You can therefore set the pouch down briefly without immediately worrying that your glass might take a hit. The whole thing almost acts like a small safety helmet for the front element.

Neoprene construction helps against weather, dirt, dust & moisture

In addition to pure impact protection, the neoprene construction really shows its strengths outdoors. The material helps against weather, dirt, dust & moisture by completely enclosing your lens and thus forming an additional barrier between optics and environment. Not a miracle cure, of course, but a very effective buffer when you’re out in light drizzle, on dusty paths or in sandy areas.

Especially when travelling or during outdoor shoots, when you repeatedly pack and unpack your gear from your backpack, the LensPouch prevents fine dust from settling directly on the lens surface or on controls. The pouch is also quick to open and close again, so you don’t have to leave your lens lying around “naked” for long. For many photographers, it’s a kind of second protective layer in addition to the actual camera backpack.

Insulating function for your lens on the go

Neoprene naturally has an insulating function. This means the LensCoat LensPouch Lens Case XXL Short acts as a kind of temperature buffer between the environment and the lens. In cold outdoor temperatures, your optics don’t cool down quite as quickly; in heat, they don’t heat up immediately when the pouch is left in the sun. It’s not a lab feature, but in everyday use you’ll notice that temperature changes are somewhat cushioned.

Especially when you move from the cold into warm interiors or vice versa, the insulating effect can help delay condensation on the lens to some extent. It doesn’t replace careful acclimatization, but it’s a pleasant bonus running in the background that protects your gear a little.

Thought-out details: drawstring, belt loop and carabiner

The LensCoat LensPouch Lens Case XXL Short is closed with a reliable drawstring. This lets you tighten and adjust the opening quickly without fiddling around. The cord is easy to grip, even with thin gloves, and keeps the pouch securely closed so your lens doesn’t accidentally slip out.

An approximately 2.54 cm wide loop on the back allows you to attach the lens case to belts or modular carrying systems. This way you can carry your telephoto lens directly on your body without constantly having to search for it in your backpack. In addition, a sturdy carabiner hook is integrated, allowing you to hang the LensPouch on backpack loops, camera bags or other attachment points. This makes the XXL Short version particularly flexible, from city shoots to wildlife tours.

Folds flat, ideal for travel and flexible setups

When you don’t need the LensCoat LensPouch Lens Case XXL Short, it can be folded down almost flat when empty. This saves space in your suitcase or studio cabinet and makes it easy to keep several sizes on hand without blocking an entire shelf. This is especially practical when travelling: you can simply take the pouch with you folded and only decide on site which lens you’ll transport in it.

The various available sizes in the LensPouch series are coordinated so that you can find a suitable version for almost every lens class, from very compact primes to massive super-telephoto lenses. The XXL Short version with Ø 13.9 cm x 21.6 cm closes an important gap for wide but not excessively long lenses.

Overview of available LensPouch sizes

To help you plan your entire lens setup sensibly, here is a structured overview of the LensCoat LensPouch sizes in centimeters. This lets you directly compare which version fits which lens:

• X Small, Ø 7.6 x 10.2
• Small, Ø 8.1 x 15.2
• Small Wide, Ø 10.2 x 12.7
• Medium, Ø 8.9 x 20.3
• Medium Wide, Ø 11.4 x 16.5
• Large, Ø 9.1 x 22.8
• Large Wide, Ø 11.4 x 20.3
• X Large, Ø 10.1 x 30.5
• X Large Wide, Ø 12.7 x 27.9
• 2X Large, Ø 13.9 x 31.8
• 2X Large Short, Ø 13.9 x 21.6 (corresponds to the XXL Short version described here)
• 3X Large, Ø 15.2 x 33.0

We recommend always measuring the actual length of your lens including the attached lens hood (in transport position) when choosing the right LensPouch and then adding 2 to 2.5 cm. This ensures that the drawstring closes cleanly and that the lens doesn’t sit too tight or too loose in the pouch.

Digital Camo design, unobtrusive but not boring

The Digital Camo pattern of the LensCoat LensPouch Lens Case XXL Short is not just a visual gimmick but also functional. In nature, the camouflage pattern appears pleasantly unobtrusive and helps break up reflective surfaces and clear contours a bit. This can be a small advantage in the wildlife field if you don’t want to present your gear in bright colors.

At the same time, the pouch remains serious enough in the studio or at events not to look out of place. Digital Camo is a kind of compromise between “functional camouflage” and “modern tech look,” so it fits many setups, from outdoor adventures to reportage work.

Flexible use: lenses, ball heads and accessories

Even though the name “lens case” suggests that only lenses belong inside, the LensCoat LensPouch Lens Case XXL Short is significantly more versatile. You can just as easily store a larger ball head, a compact gimbal head, flash units or sensitive accessories that you want to additionally pad during transport.

The round shape and soft neoprene adapt quite well to different contours. This also makes mixed setups possible, such as a lens with an attached tripod collar or accessories that are difficult to fit into conventional hard cases. The LensPouch then functions as a flexible protective cover inside your backpack or suitcase.

Who is the LensCoat LensPouch XXL Short particularly suitable for?

The LensCoat LensPouch Lens Case XXL Short (Ø 13.9 cm x 21.6 cm) is particularly interesting if you work with larger telephoto lenses such as the Nikon 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR NIKKOR, the Nikon Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S NIKKOR (2022) or the Fuji 200m f/2 R LM OIS WR XF and are looking for a padded yet flexible transport solution. It is aimed at photographers who frequently use their equipment on the move, whether when travelling, at sports and wildlife shoots or on longer reportages.

If you value your lenses not knocking against each other in the backpack, the front element being reliably protected, and being able to store the pouch in a space-saving way when not in use, this LensPouch fits very well into your setup. And if you own several lenses of different sizes, the XXL Short version can be seamlessly integrated into a complete LensPouch series.
