Walking around bag for canon 70-200mm lense?

Just bought my very first camera and lense; digi rebel xt w/ 70-200mm f4L! It arrives tomorrow and I forgot to buy a bag for it!

Does anyone have a good walking around bag for this combo? I am looking for a holster type case that could fit this monster. I am also interested in any tips you guys have regarding keeping this thing as mint as possible and still using the snot out of it. Also if anyone knows of a good local camera shop to buy this from in the SJ area, I would happily buy it there.

Thanks,
Matt Winans

check out San Jose Camera. its a pro video and photo shop on the corner of hamilton and winchester. they've got a bunch of cases that you might wanna check out.

there's also keeble and shuchat in palo alto. same kind of deal, but they have a bigger selection of everything.

I have the same exact camera and lens, plus the 28-105 and the 50 1.8. It all fits perfectly into the Tamarac vilocity 7. No matter which lens is on the camera.

Matt,

What bag did you end up buying? Did you get the Tamrac, and if so, do you agree with Jeremy. If you wanted to fit a flash in, would you need to upgrade to the Velocity 8 or 9?

thanks.

Check out the LowePro microtrekker 200.

Nope I got a LowePro bag. Here is a link to it from B&H. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=98437&is=REG&a ddedTroughType=categoryNavigation Upload

I love the bag, perfect for what I want. I am not sure about adding a flash to it though, pretty skeptical actually. It feels like it is very padded and protective of my new toy though!
