Lothar I was just looking for a case for the lens only, but after Googling your reference to the ApeCase ACPROLC18 that looks a very good case and being able to have the body attached is something that might swing me to it.
I don't remember the brand but my case looks exactly like this one. I keep my Tamron 150-600 in it. Hood on backwards it fits nice a tight. Has held up good over the last couple years.
