Thread: Storing Mounted 8x10 Lens

    Re: Storing Mounted 8x10 Lens

    I use insulated lunch bags from the dollar store. They are nicely padded and don't shed lint like whiskey bags do. I choose the "professional looking" green ones but you can have Superman or Batman on your lens bags if you like. I had another photographer in my studio awhile back and he asked, "Where did you get those neat lens bags?" I knew he was used to the prices for lenswrap and didn't carry his lunch to work so I asked him, "How much do you think I paid for each one?" Answer, "Oh - about $70". At $1.50 each I give a free bag to each client who brings a lens into my shop for service.
    Cheers,
    Bill

    Lowe lens cases. Padded and works very well. I think they were designed for those 38 element, 24 group monsters, but they have a rnage of sizes and the smallest ones usually work just fine for LF lenses. http://products.lowepro.com/catalog/Lens-Cases,11.htm
