[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 824251, member: 53455"] I agree. Same here. I believe there could be exceptions in some specialized fields such as astrophotography. I looked into that at some point and bought a so-called “didymium” filter or “red enhancer” which I ended up never using, as there are definitely not many areas around where I live that are dark enough to practice astro conveniently... My latest purchase is a couple of these neoprene and soft fleece lens pouches by a German company called C-Rope (their website is [URL='https://www.c-rope.de/produkt/neopren-objektivbeutel-mit-fleece-fuetterung/']here[/URL]). I knew about the Tenba products and others of the same kind, I’ve had some, but the dimensions were not right for my “short but fat” Z lenses, such as the 14-30/4 and the 24-120/4. [ATTACH type="full"]410371[/ATTACH] Those C-Rope guys are the right size, well made with excellent quality materials, with a cover against dust, and they feature a pass-through for the belt and a carabiner to clip them on, say, belt loops.
