I use this gizmo that I made from an old shoe and put the whole thing in a neopren lens pouch.

Steve B's approach looks like a good one. Very clean looking. The pic below shows a similar approach that is a bit more "homemade" but still very functional. This is my CV Ultron 28/1.7 lens. The rff member I bought it from did this and it seems to work well. Basically, he just put a small square of velcro on the lens cap and a corresponding small square of velcro on the top of the finder (barely visible in the pic below). That way, the finder just "sticks" to the lens cap for when I place it in my bag. And when I want to use the lens & finder, I just "peel" the finder off the lens cap and place it on top of my camera. Wouldn't work too well if you were just dropping a lens into a big bag (e.g., messenger bag style) with lots of other stuff, but works very well with camera bags where I can slide the lens into its own padded area/sleeve/holder/whatever. Only negative so far is that the lens cap velcro piece attracts a few "fuzzies" as you can see in the picture.

Oh, yeah...

If you guys have to buy packages of more than one pair of booties, you can send me the other pairs if you have no use for them. 😀
 
I was looking for such pouches a few months ago. My mother offered to make me a few if I bought the material but then I went on ebay and found many sellers offering them in packs of 10, 20 etc. At first I purchase a pack of 20 such bags from a seller in Hong Kong for .99 cents plus $5 shipping. Well they were supposed to be velvet but turned out to be made of this velvet-like paper - junk. I donated them to the high school where I work. I then purchased a pack of 20 from an American seller for around a total $12 or so and they turned out to be quite nice.

I have been using these in conjunction with a sock/cloth bag when I need something water & dust proof and a little crush resistant. Not quite what you are looking for but I thought it would be worth mentioning.

The 250ml/8oz fits L 90mm 2.8, CV 75mm, ZM 25 w/ finder, CV12mm w/ finder.
