[Leica] lens storage solutions (can you ID this case?)

[Adam Bridge]

I’m assuming you want a case because you need something portable? 

I use a couple of Ikea free-standing cabinets for camera gear and other gear. Equipment is sorted by system. It’s all right there in front of me when I open the frosted-glass doors.

Years ago I had a Halliburton case for my super 8mm camera/lens. The foam degraded and damaged the internal mirror in the camera. I’ve steered away from foam since then.

When I went to Africa last year with two different camera systems I had a big backpack that held lenses, cameras, filters, and my computer. It worked well and was just (barely) inside airline carry-on limits although they are compressing those limits more and more it seems. 

It was a think tank airport accelerator. Lots of pockets for various lenses, well padded. The bag lived on buses, safari vehicles, all sorts of transport and nothing was remotely close to damaged.
