After some bad experiences with backpacking large format lenses with standard ve lcro cloth covers, I am interested in find out if I can find a place where I can purchase a box to protect my investments by placing them in a simple plastic/fi berglass boxes. The boxes I am interested in acquiring are the kind that the bot tom piece fits inside the upper piece and a rubber band could hold them together . My Canham lensboards are a reasonable proportion beyond the lens and a thin la yer of foam glued to the inside of the box I think would work great. I take as m any as four small sized lenses on treks with the 5x7 and waste a lot of time fin ding where I placed the lenses in the pack to protect them. There has got to be a better way.
Any idea where I could find such a box? Has anyone else found a workable solutio n for protecting lenses in the backpack?
Thanks in advance.
