Floppy disk holders, perhaps? Definitely worth a look. Dennis Painter suggested coin collector wallets (I had never realized that such existed, and will definitely look into these, as I imagine these would be made of good, non-reactive materials. Jeff Alford recommended a product by Sun Dog, which I will look into. The Domke wallet has thus far been okay for me for larger filters, though I've scratched a Series P Cokin in it (wonder if I can get the same basic thing, in coated glass?) B.D. Colen advocated the use of a clamshell-type eyeglass case, and wrapping individual filters in microfiber cloth: I'm not sure I want to be unwrapping small objects on a windy day, in tall grass, but I can see where small cases of the sort might be very good for keeping one's lens cleaning supplies together. Jeremy Kime mentioned Kodak "flat packs" which are unknown to me: I've bought 100' spools, pro-packs and "bricks" but never anything resembling this item?? I do occasionally make it to the UK and other overseas destinations, and would like to know if these are still sold. I may have some time to look in Hong Kong (and elsewhere in China) this summer.
