Case for goggled Elmarit 135/2.8?

[Ken Ford]

Does anyone know the part number for the Leica case to fit the goggled 135? I have an E55 version without a case, and it's an ungainly shape.

If no one knows, I'll try asking Leica.

Thanks!

Anyone? Bueller?

Ken,

I found a Tamrac lens case that I use. It has a half-moon
shape with zipper on top and fits the lens exactly.

Hope this helps,

Roland.

Roland, I'll check Tamrac out. Thanks!

I have one but not the part #. It's a big leather half moon shaped thing with zipper. Nice design for such an ungainly lens. I paid $48 on eBay including shipping. In any event Leica does not make this case anymore and you will have to find it on the aftermarket. Well worth searching for if you are a fan of this lens as I am.-Dick

Thanks, Dick - I'll keep an eye out!

So you got a second version of this lens? Good job!

Now... not that I want to rain in your parade, have the goggles checked and adjusted for good focusing. Don did mine for $40 three years ago.

I thought you already saw this, Fransciso - I guess not, I got it in the spring.

Yes, it's an E55 version like I wanted. I got it from an Adorama eBay auction for less than I expected. Focus seems right on, too!

It's a fantastic lens. Good luck with your search.
