As I don't have received them yet, I have question to know how will I be able to send them (we've done a group order). What are the approximative dimensions of the standards spanners (for lenses up to 80mm) and in their case (if I'm right, they are sold in a case) ?

They are sold in plastic case , dimension around 3cmx20cmx15cm
Dimension just a guess.

If you are referring to the spanners offered by MFLenses and Alex,
perhaps this will help:







As you can see, they are shipped inside a plastic clamshell case,
similar to jewelry boxes. The dimensions of the case(shown next to
a ruler of inches) will give you an idea of how large the spanner
can be used. I measure 3.125 inches/79.375mm/7.9375cm
with the spanner's crossbar flush to the outside diameter of
the spanner's round parts which hold the tips. You could perhaps
extend the tool another 3-4mm wide, but I would only do so if I
were certain the grub or thumb screws are tightened solidly
against the crossbar, with no overhang of the screws.

Thickness/height of the box measures to roughly 1.25in/3.175cm.

The spanner comes with slot and point tips for use with differing trim ring
and retainer ring types. It also comes with a hex key/Allen key of the
proper size for the set screws/grub screws which secure the different
tips and also secure the barrels to the crossbar. This is a very high-quality
tool, much more so than those readily available from common sources.

I would estimate weight to be around 6-8 oz/0.170-0.226kg, including
the clamshell box. Member Alex(hk300) can provide more precise weight
measurements for shipping purposes, as he is the source.

3cm of thickness won't fit the prepaid cardboxes we have in France, so I'll need to do packages, that what I had to know, thanks Wink
