I have a Canon Rebel EOS and a telephoto lens about 10" long. Canon makes a case I saw at Best Buy that is specificly designed for the Rebel. But it comes with an extra battery and a UV lens. I don't need either one of these. Can't sem to find just the case, even on line. Anyone have any suggetions? As I would like to carry the camera and the lens, but can't even find one big enough. They're either to small, or giantic.

what lens are you using? i have a LOWPRO TLZ PRO AW that fits my 1D(larger body than rebel/elan) and 100-400IS nicely with room for a flash if you pack it right.

a ten inch long telephoto is quite big(300f2.8, 170-500 sigma...) and those would need a shoulder case

I have the can 75-300 zoom lens. So you think the LOWPRO TLZ PRO AW case would work for me?

even the TLZ PRO would be too large :)

you need a smaller case, but room to grow is also nice

i'm pretty sure a lowepro nova 2 would fit you nicely

and the TLZ(topload zoom) 2 would too i think

Whatever you get make sure it has No Canon logo, or other outwardly sign of EXPENSIVE GEAR being in your bag.
