Little pouch/bags for lens

vievetrick · 03-11-2007, 07:31 AM

I am looking for something to put the lens in while it is in my camera bag. Something like this 561221 Zing Medium Drawstring Pouch - Black with Black top hem (7" long/4"diameter) is anyone using anything or have any suggestions. I am looking for one for my Fa 50mm and the DA 16-45. I have a Tamarac Velocity 7 and just want to give the glass a little more protection when it is in the bag and being boumced around.

All I use are the drawstring pouches from B&H. They are padded, durable and are easy to get into. The only problem is that they all look alike so I use the plastic bread bag tags on the draw string marked with a sharpie.

The cost was under 9 dollars for the General brand 7" and the quality is better than I expected for the low cost. Godd idea how to tag thems since I bought 3 of them.

Another option is to use lens wraps. They'll fit snuggly around your lens.

If you don't want to pay for a Domke-type wrap, I suggest going to a hardware store. Buy some large 3M made electrostatic clothes and use them to wrap up the lens, holding it in place with a rubber band (you can also buy some attachable velcro pieces and put them on the tips to create a lens wrap).

They are cheaper than the Domke wraps. Best of all they are great for cleaning lenses and bodies because they are electrostatic - they'll pick up dust easily (they don't scratch glass either). When dirty, just put in washer & drip-dry. I've got about a dozen of these 3M clothes for use around the house and for wrapping up/cleaning my photo gear.

Finally, Habuka makes a really good lens/body wrap for about $10. I've got several of these as well.
