[Leica] lens pouches

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

When I sent all that valuable stuff to the Solms resort for a 
vacation this summer, it came back in nice pouches, so I now have 5 
Leica pouches. Not padded, but still nice. I also favour Domke lens 
wraps, which I've used for years for all sorts of things.
