can someone tell me the length of the XL2 stock lens from the mounting point to the tip without the lens hood?
thank you,
mike

Dimensions (WxHxD)
3.6 x 3.6 x 5.3

This is taken directly from B&H's website. I did not measure it myself, but it seems right. The photo that they show on their site shows the lens without the hood.

Hope this helps,
Ryan

thank you!
