Correction! The 300/4.5 and the 400/6.3 do fit their cases nose
down. Not enough coffee. Those are the only two I sometimes keep
in their cases, so, duh, I didn't check them, and only remembered
immediately following the uh-oh second after I hit the "send"
button. The others, though, do fit nose up. I swear. Believe
me.
