re. The Zing case, it fits the Vario-Sonnar just fine, even fitted with a lens hood and 55mm cap.
The only combination in the G system I know it won't accommodate is the 90 *with* the hood. As noted by Almon, the 90 itself fits fine.
A nice thing in my view about the Zing case, especially once it gets a bit rough looking with extended use, is that your jewel-like G looks very ordinary inside, a bit like a supermodel wearing a ratty raincoat. All presuming you're not hung up on appearances, of course!

Almon C. Dao was so kind as to inform me of the Zing Case for the G2 + 35-70Vario lense. He also sent us the link as to whereabouts we could get this case.
I now looked into this, and found the case to be quite reasonably priced, at 29,95 USD. But the problem for us Europeans is, that we have to pay between 26,25 and 36,25 (depending on delivery service) for the postage , and then I have to pay 20% purchase tax of the total sum of price + postage, which brings me up to 63,84 USD with surface mail.
Does anyone know of a European Distributor for the Zing Cases?
Thanks and regards from Vienna, Austria.

Hello. I am new to the list. I realize that this started out as a lens thread, but I did have a question about the Zing case. I have a very compact canvas case for the whole kit, but would like something to protect just a body/one lens combination. Which Zing product serves such a purpose for the G2? In the Zing literature they only recommend a pouch with flap for the G2 and an actual case for the G1.
Thanks, Larry

Lary - Welcome to the forum. Glad you like your G2. IMHO it is one of the finest cameras made. I have used over 40 cameras of various brands and formats in my 50+ years in photography and the G2 is my favorite.
