My cases don't seem to have model #'s on them but by measurement it 
looks like I have the  2500  and the 3450. The 2500 will hold an m 
body, or a 90 with some extra room.  The 3450, for cigars or the 3500 
will hold a m with a mounted 50 cron with enough room for a 28aa on the 
side.  I have noticed that the cigar versions cost more than the camera 
versions, but are easier to find than the camera boxes.
