Handy ebay suede lens pouches...

[RichC]

Thought I'd pass this on...

I've been using suede jewellry pouches for my lenses from ebay: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Puri-Bunga-Ltd_Jewellery-Pouches_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ17QQftidZ2QQtZkm

Surprisingly protective ... and cheap!

By the way, I've no connection with the seller whatsoever, just thought someone may find this tip useful.

I prefer the thick foam ones w/ a drawstring and snap fastener for a belt loop that I can get for about $6 here in Korea. They come in several differant sizes/ lengths. I don't know if they are available in "the rest of the world." Here's the link: http://www.arnuvo.com/index.php?sal...oods_view&ctpose=ABC&ctno=338&page=2&otype=6&. Their email is: anbhan@arnuvo.com. Mr. An can understand/ write English

They also sell some fine leather handstraps, etc. that are copies of but are much cheaper (price) than Artisan/ Artist stuff on the same website.


No connection/ commission whatsoever!

Bill, those look really good.. but I can't tell anything about them from the website, like what they'll hold.. what do you use yours for.. lenses or bodies?

I've only used them for lenses. They are barrel-shaped and well-made.

I'd be very interested in picking up a couple.. we'll have to see if he ships to the US

I've actually tried to find some small bags. Those suede ones on ebay look nice, but all the way from the UK?
I'm having a hard time finding the right kind of bag from domestic sellers.

Try the bags that leicagoodies.com sells. They are not cheap but they are wonderful. And they come with a string you can sling over your shoulder, in addition to having a drawstring that snugly closes the bag around the lens. Very soft. You can put lenses without covers in them.

Regards,
Ira

The lens pouches that leicagoodies sells is a type of chalk bag used in rock climbing... Your local outdoor/camping store might have something similar that would work?
