I see each one worth 35 bucks each. A little flimsy for what I look for in a lens pouch. On the B&H pure cane camera listing is see the lens pouches costing over a hundred bucks are called lens cases. Marketing. Cases for 400 and 600mm lenes cost just as much as normal lenes; without the case. A case can be made that..... The LensCoat USA LensPouch, Large Wide (Realtree Max4 HD) look very good to me. I'd never heard of them before. 24 bucks. I have some Op/Tech's and f.64s and Lowepro's but the next one I'll get will be a LensCoat. mark@rabinergroup.com Mark William Rabiner > From: Tim Gray <tgray@125px.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2008 00:29:56 -0500 > To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] lens pouches > > On Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 2:23 PM, Philip Forrest > <photo.forrest@earthlink.net> wrote: >> I used to think that one of the best protective lens pouches was a Crown >> Royal bag.
