I've been looking for a suitable padded pouch for lenses on boards that I use in the field. Personally, I hate lens wraps.
In researching pouches, I stumbled upon what I consider a terrific pouch for my lenses, which are all in shutters and mounted on largish Toyo boards.
Uncle Mike's Pistol Pouch (small) #52418 can be gotten on Ebay or Amazon for about 10 bucks.
Rugged 600-denier polyester with high-density foam padding. It's very soft inside, and water rolls right off the exterior. It has a very nice heavy duty zipper, and a loop on one outer edge that I use to label which lens is inside.
$10.17 with free shipping

There are a ton of luggage tags you can get. I opted for a hard plastic tag that snaps tight and comes with a perfect ring to attach to the pouch. Got them on Ebay: Ten for $1.37 plus $1.11 shipping from China. (Yes, 10) You can't beat it with a stick.

I used these pouches for all my field lenses, from a tiny 18cm Hugo Meyer, to a large selection of Ektars (from 135mm to the big 14"), and even a pretty massive 16-1/2" Dagor in #5 Universal shutter. That's pretty much the largest that can fit in there.
