You know, its one of those things you don't think much about until you can't find them. When I bought my FA31, I used the leather bag all the time. Just a little buffer and peace of mind for the good glass. I ended up sharing that pouch around quite a bit for whatever lens was riding shotgun in the camera bag until I sold my 31. Then I realized there wasn't much out there in the way of after-market fitted leather bags for lenses. Having the pouch fit the lens means the lens still fits the bag, so I was very pleased to find this guy.

He's based in Hong Kong and among other things, makes custom sheep skin leather pouches for under $20/piece. He offered me a deal when I ordered 5 of them for various lenses and shipping was free.

I'm not affiliated with this fellow, but I was pretty happy to find his product, and service was top notch.

eBay Store - oneoscom: Bag for lens:

My new pouches and some shiny classics I want to keep shiny and classic.



The inside is a slick, soft nylon - no fibers = happy lenses.



yay!


Kelly.

Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

HOW many CONTAINERS do you want to order?

I can get this kind of stuff any time.
Btw ... the ones on your pics seems to be a little thin and won't give much protection.

Hey, good for you. Tip: The camera bag provides the protection, the pouches prevent dust and scratching.

These pouches are just right for my uses. In fact, two of these 2-ply pouches, side by side offer a level of buffer I'm ok with to take out the dividers in my bag.

What the heck, might as well post a pic of this too now -

On the left, the Biotar and Trioplan. In the middle, the K10 w/T*85. On the right, the T*25 & Nokton w/hoods on.



One of the smaller Tamracs. Very compact. (I removed the labels)


Kelly.

Which sizes do you require?
e.g .what lens length / diameter?

They have many different sizes!
I will try to post some pics tomorrow.

Nice! Thanks for sharing.
Everyone has his/her own way of carrying lenses around. I typically do not use a camera bag, but put my lenses in my 'normal' backpack.
