Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony LCS-AMA/B Digital SLR Carrying Case for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera

Customer Review: Good Fit for Alphas Except A850, A900, or Bulky Lenses
Summary: 5 Stars

Since there is not enough room in the title, let me first say that I'm not sure how the fit will be for an A700, which is smaller than the A850/A900 but larger than the others. The Sony website says it's compatible with the A700, but I haven't tried it.

The case fits well with the A550/500, and it has room for a lens larger than the kit lens. It will actually hold an A550 with a Zeiss 2.8 24-70 with hood attached in reverse, but it is tight for me because I have to stuff the camera strap down next to the lens barrel, and the hood gets in the way. With a smaller lens there is plenty of room for a hood and a strap.

If you have a lens larger than the kit lens, attach the lens to your camera and measure the distance from the point at the forward edge of the camera across the full length of the lens, including any filter and lens cap. Be sure your zoom lens is not extended, of course. The case will hold a total lens length beyond the forward edge of the camera of 4 3/4 inches. If you have an A700, you should probably expect to reduce the compatible lens length to 4 1/2. The Zeiss lens that I mentioned is about 4 7/8 inches, and, as I said it's awfully tight if you have a premium, bulky strap. PLEASE NOTE: It is not practical to leave the strap outside the case!

As others have stated, this nylon case is a very comfortable fit for the smaller cameras and the small-to-medium-sized lenses. The camera naturally snugs itself in.

The alternative from Sony is the leather case. It is a very high quality case (and you pay for what you get), but be aware that, unlike the nylon case reviewed here, it comes in several sizes. There is an LCS-AMLC2, C3, and C4. My A550 rattles around in a C4 like a BB in a boxcar when I have a smaller lens attached. The leather case is the answer, however, if you have a big lens or an A850/900. It is an excellent fit for one of those cameras with the Zeiss lens that I mentioned previously or with an A550 with the Zeiss. The leather case allows the camera strap to stay outside the case, so you dodge that bullet entirely.

The nylon case is of high quality with good padding that is not bulky. The nylon appears to be of the ballistic type that is used in the highest quality cloth luggage and computer cases.

In summary, this is an excellent product, so long as you don't have an A850/900 or a long lens.

I hope this helps!
Tim
