So, the lens collection is gradually increasing.
What is everyone using for cases?
Search brings up way too many inaccurate results.

I like the ones the hard plastic ones that come with the old Russian lenses.
Is there any place to buy something similar?

Thanks in advance.

I'm using the Russian one too. I have 5-6 of them. I put a piece of foam on the bottom of the case.
 
My lenses are usually stacked with a double sided rear cap in a padded flash pouch. If I am storing them outside my bag they are either in the little leather Leica bags they came in or Amazon has these really nice, soft and protective lenses cases made for rangefinder lenses. Pretty cheap too. https://www.amazon.com/Medium-Micro-Lens-Pouch-Thirds/dp/B007TMZW2S/ref=sr_1_23?ie=UTF8&qid=1502379621&sr=8-23&keywords=lens+pouch they make them in different sizes too.They all go under the name of "Micro Lens Pouch"
 
For 50mm and smaller screw mount lenses, enlarging lens cases work fine. Up until a few years ago, you could by new Nikon ones. Check ebay for enlarging lens cases (Nikon, Minolta, Schneider, etc.) and older Leitz plastic screw-mount cases.

When they are on shelf, mostly other brands cases (Pentax, Olympus, etc.), and some the hard plastic Russian ones (I lke the hard black ones the best). When they are on my back, I use socks so they don't scratch between themselves :)


Best regards.
