You are welcome, but if it turns out to be 7feet 4 inch, don't blame me. Just get a bigger bag.Big Grin

Update...Length with both dust caps on.140mm.
Width.. 75mm....
Lens hood width 87mm. This will fit over the lens back to front and does not increase the length.
This is not the new DI model but the one you state.

It arrived this morning with a 350D . whooooooee.
