joel_sackett Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Any recommendations for pouches or boxes to carry a large format lens on a board? It also has to hold the cam for a lens for use on a Master Tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_fromm1 Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Rubbermaid food storage containers, with foam to support the board with lens. Caps on both ends of the lens. Small ziploc bag to hold the cam, put it in the container too. Dustproof, shockresistant, inexpensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxc Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I also use plastic food storage boxes, of the Glad brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_rice3 Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 I use the padded cells from Outdoor Research. http://www.orgear.com/(click the Backpacking/Camping link). The red #1 is good for one lens on a 4x4 board with accessories (it is also nice for a Rolleiflex), and the Yelow #3 holds my 90 6.8 Caltar, 210 Sironar-N and B+W polarizer nicely. I also use the blue #4 for film holders. They all have a mesh pocket for various doo-dads (in Joel's case his cam). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_raymondson1 Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 I've seen some CD wallets that look perfect for a Sinar board with lens. Nylon, padded, available at places like Blockbuster or Best Buy. It looks like all you would have to do is take out the CD sleeves. Under $10, I think. Anyone try this?

mark_nowaczynski2 Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 The Gnass 4X5 lens cases (the longer ones) will hold three current lenses (90mm, 135mm, and a 210mm) on Linhof boards. The zippered compartment on the side is perfect for cams. The shorter lens cases have a side pocket with one clip, but no zipper, so cams could fall out. He also makes a case for the Technikardan (not shown on the website) which holds the Master Technika with room for a darkcloth as well as the optical viewfinder. The Gnass equipment is extremely well built and worth every penny. It is the 'Linhof' of lens cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_curry Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 I just use lens wraps for each lens/board assembly. My pack has been set up to accept the lens in wrap in each padded pocket. Took a bit of figuring, but it all stows well and is easy to get to when I need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lam___ Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Hi Word of caution against the lens wraps I used to use them, can't exactly remember the brand came in 2 sizes, and in red, green or blue color It self detioriated, maybe due to the heat / humidity of Singapore ? left behind was 2 layer of cloth, and lots of fine rubbery foam that came out from inbetween the 2 cloth layers : ( not very nice/easy to clean off luckily the lens were capped .... now i just cap the lens and chuck them into individual pockets configured in the phototrekker Lam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_veit Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I use cloth diapers with a third of the length of each folded up and sewn to form a pouch. Lens identification is written with big sharpie on the unsewn third which folds down to close it. This is a cheap, if slightly bulky, solution and the protection it provides is great.

sjmurray Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I second the idea of CD wallets. They are cheap and provide a hard case to protect the lens. You pull out the CD holders of course. They are just the right size for a 4 in. lens board with lens. I have one for each of my lenses. Keep lens caps on the back and front of the lens too. I have older lenses which are fairly flat, but I think a CD case for more CDs, like 50 or 75 would have more depth for a taller lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
