My E-M5 fits into the PhotoRunner 100 with ebay aluminum grip installed 
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261212248838&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160>
 
AND QR plate attached to bottom of grip AND detachable flash installed 
AND 14-150 installed with hood in shooting position.  It also has the 
optional (larger) eye-cup installed which sticks out further 
(recommended).  Having the flash installed causes the case to bulge 
outward a bit but not so far as to keep it from zipping.  But I would 
probably remove it for an easier fit.  I don't have one to try it but I 
think the 75-300 would fit OK too but probably not with the hood in 
shooting position.  The 14-150 installed on-camera and with hood 
extended is 110mm long measured from the body flange.  With the oversize 
eye-cup there's probably only about another 5-10mm of depth left.  Maybe 
Moose can give the relevant measurement for the 75-300 with only lens 
cap installed.  If it's over 115 or (maybe) 120mm it might be a tight 
squeeze.

And different stroke for different folks.  I love my ebay aluminum grip. 
  It feels good and makes the grip on the camera much more secure. I 
only wish it centered the tripod screw left to right.  It improves the 
centering but is still about 5mm off-center.
