Rolanpro transport bag for telephoto zoom with camera (black) black RP

Rolanpro carrying case for telephoto zoom with camera (black) RP, when you don’t want your telephoto zoom to just disappear in your backpack

You know that feeling when your nice telephoto zoom with camera is sliding around somewhere between water bottle, rain jacket and muesli bars in your backpack, and you hold your breath for a second every time you open the zipper? That’s exactly where the Rolanpro carrying case for telephoto zoom with camera (black) RP comes in. It takes your long focal length out of the improvisation corner and gives it a fixed, well-padded place that really withstands the rigours of being on the move.

The bag is deliberately designed so that you can store your telephoto zoom together with the attached camera directly. No fiddling, no constant removing and reattaching. Just put it in, zip it up, go. Especially when you’re out and about with larger telephoto zooms for wildlife, sports or aviation, this makes a surprisingly big difference in everyday use.

Robust, waterproof Oxford fabric and strong padding for your everyday photography

From the outside, the Rolanpro carrying case looks pleasantly understated. Black, businesslike, unobtrusive. But the material has a lot going for it. The waterproof Oxford fabric reliably keeps drizzle, damp meadows, splashes by the lake or the typical autumn shower away from your gear. You no longer have to frantically cover your telephoto zoom with your jacket when the clouds suddenly open up.

Inside, approximately 1.4 cm thick, softly padded walls ensure that shocks and vibrations are significantly absorbed. If the bag slides around in the trunk, bumps against a pole on the bus, or briefly knocks against something when you get out quickly, your camera and telephoto zoom combination remains safely embedded. The construction is designed for durability, not just for pretty product photos. It’s made more for real tours, muddy dirt roads and long days in the stadium than for the display cabinet.

Thought-out dimensions for large telephoto zooms and still pleasantly lightweight

The external dimensions of about 42 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm and the internal dimensions of around 40 cm x 13 cm x 12.5 cm are no accident. This carrying case is clearly designed for telephoto zooms with a length of approximately 23 to 35 cm and a lens hood diameter of about 10 to 14 cm, including attached camera. So not just the lens itself, but the complete, ready-to-shoot setup.

Despite its sturdy construction, the bag weighs only about 370 g. In practice, that’s pleasantly little, especially when you’re already carrying heavy glass. You hardly notice the weight of the bag, but you certainly notice the protection it provides. It can be easily stowed in a larger backpack, placed in a suitcase or simply taken along when you head out with just one setup.

Universal compatibility for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Sigma, Tamron, Fuji and Olympus / OM SYSTEM

Things get interesting when we look at the lenses this bag is designed for. The Rolanpro carrying case for telephoto zoom with camera (black) RP is intentionally universal so that you can use it with a whole range of typical telephoto zooms that photographers actually carry around in real life.

For Sigma users, it’s an excellent fit for classics such as the Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports for Canon EF, Nikon F or Sigma SA, as well as the SIGMA 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports for E- and L-mount. The popular 150-600mm variants, the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary and the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports, also find a secure place here together with your camera. You don’t have to rethink every time whether everything will somehow fit; you can rely on the well-matched dimensions.

If you’re in the Sony camp, the Sony 200-600mm f/5.6–6.3 G OSS FE [SEL200600G] is a typical candidate for this bag. This lens in particular is often in constant use in the field and deserves a transport solution that not only somehow works, but is truly designed to protect it with the camera attached.

Canon RF users also get their money’s worth. Whether you work with the Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM, which is surprisingly light despite its focal length, or with the Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM, which many now appreciate as a flexible all-round telephoto zoom, the bag offers sufficient space and padding. The Canon RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9.0 IS USM (2023) is also a very suitable combination for this transport solution if you like to stow your setup ready to go.

In the Nikon Z system, the Nikon Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR NIKKOR is a prime example of a telephoto zoom that benefits from its own, well-dimensioned carrying case. This is exactly where the Rolanpro bag plays to its strengths, as it covers the length and diameter of such zooms with camera very well.

Even if you’re using Tamron, for example the Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 SP, this bag fits your setup perfectly. The same applies to Fuji users with the Fuji 150-600mm f/5.6-8 R LM OIS WR XF, which is becoming increasingly common in nature and wildlife photography.

And of course, users of Olympus or OM SYSTEM are not left out. The Olympus 150-400mm f/4.5 M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED TC1.25X IS PRO is a very special, high-end telephoto zoom that calls for correspondingly careful transport. In this bag it gets exactly the protection you would expect for such a premium lens.

Quick access when it counts

One thing you often only notice when you’re out in the field: how quickly can you get to your camera with telephoto zoom? The Rolanpro carrying case is designed so that you can remove and stow the setup quickly. No unnecessary back and forth, no overly complicated fasteners. You open the bag, grab it, and you’re ready to shoot. Especially for wildlife, sports or spontaneous situations, that’s worth its weight in gold.

Because the bag holds your camera with the telephoto zoom attached, there’s no constant mounting and unmounting. This not only protects the mount, but also reduces the risk of dust or moisture entering the system during lens changes. For many, this is a rather unspectacular but extremely pleasant advantage in everyday use.

For photo tours, travel and the everyday madness between your front door and your location

Whether you’re shooting at the stadium on the weekend, waiting for birds by the lake early in the morning, going on safari or just want to take a few shots in the city park, the Rolanpro carrying case for telephoto zoom with camera (black) RP integrates easily into your daily routine. It’s not a showpiece, but a practical tool that protects your gear while also making it easier to handle.

You can carry it on its own, stow it in a larger backpack or place it in a suitcase. Thanks to the sturdy but not overdone padding, your camera gear remains well protected without the bag itself being unnecessarily bulky. This keeps everything tidy, and you don’t have to constantly wonder where your most important telephoto zoom is hiding.

Your telephoto zooms, your camera, your protection, all in one place

Ultimately, the Rolanpro carrying case for telephoto zoom with camera (black) RP is a very well-thought-out solution for anyone who doesn’t want to leave their long focal lengths to chance. It combines robust, waterproof Oxford fabric with approximately 1.4 cm of padding, offers space for telephoto zooms about 23 to 35 cm in length and 10 to 14 cm in lens hood diameter including camera, and still remains pleasantly light at around 370 g.

Whether you’re using Canon, Nikon, Sony, Sigma, Tamron, Fuji or Olympus / OM SYSTEM, whether you shoot with a Sigma 60-600mm, a Sony 200-600mm, a Canon RF 100-500mm, a Nikon Z 180-600mm, a Tamron 150-600mm, a Fuji 150-600mm or an Olympus 150-400mm, this bag is made to reliably accompany your gear on your tours. And perhaps at some point you’ll take it along as naturally as your camera itself, because it quietly does its job in the background: protecting, organizing, keeping things ready.
