Does anyone have a suggestion for a cheap version of this for Linhof boards:

Seems like something could be re-purposed. Any ideas?

Thanks

Check out the PhotoBackpacker site...Bruce's lens cases are the absolute best.

Also, many folks on this forum use fishing reel cases from Cabela's or Pro Bass Shop.

I'd make one. That's just a simple box with some spaced tablesaw kerfs on each side.

A non-intuitive alternative is a fishing reel case. There are dozens of different designs, many accommodating 2 to 8 reels. Search google images for examples.

High class fishermen are as fussy about their reels as we are about or lenses.

Sorry! I see this has already been suggested.

As Chris said, if you can do a bit of woodworking they are easy to make. An alternative to the kerf is to glue narrow strips to the sides - like little drawer rails. There are also a lot of custom wooden box makers on the web, some of them quite reasonable. Have a dozen made, sell eleven to pay for yours.
