Soft case/pouch for IIIf w/Elmar

[mh2000]

Looking for a small softcase for my IIIf with Elmar. I have a nice wrist strap on it that will have hang out. Anyone find a currently available little softcase that they like?

Thanks!

I made my own, some soft supple deer hide, needle and thread and a snap to keep it closed.
Not too difficult if you’re handy with tools.

Mine is just a pouch with a flap, when not in use it is easy to crumple up and stuff in a pocket.

I had a similar deer skin pouch (no snap) for years. Some how I lost it. It worked great.

I no longer have a model iii, but I'm pretty sure this little case from Vanguard World would fit. Good padding, zipper, D ring for clip on the back. When i'm not using the CL leather case.....this one fills the bill.

That looks perfect. They don’t seem to sell that any longer, or anything similar; at least I couldn’t find it on their site.

Optech makes a bunch of neoprene pouches that should fit it fine. Some with belt clips and some without. Just did a quick search for neoprene pouches on Amazon and there are dozens that would work.

Thanks, that helps. I have other neoprene pouches, but this looks better suited for purpose to me.
Looks like they are mostly available in Canada or the UK, which might explain why I wasn’t finding it on the US Vanguard site.

Thanks guys! I'm not much of a sewing person, but I do have an old 1951 Singer that I have sewed other pouches on in the past. I think I might just design and sew my own. 🙂
