I've been searching for the perfect lens case for my various rangefinder lenses, and I think that I may have come close.
At my local outdoors store (Mountain Equipment Co-op), I found an unbreakable lexan jar made by Nalgene that was just the right size. A few aisles over, I found lint-free microfiber glasses bags, so I picked up one of those.
Drop the lens in the bag, put it in the jar, do up the lid, and there you have it: an unbreakable, waterproof lens case for $5. They're stackable, too. One possible improvement would be to line the jar in a layer of thin closed-cell foam.
I noticed that the jars also came in taller versions, perfect for something like a 75mm or 90mm. The one that I have fits my Serenar 50/1.8, my CV 35/2.5, and my FSU jupiters and Industars.
