I’ve always used Canon LP lens pouches for all my Canon EF lenses, but after a recent near catastrophe, just ordered them for all my Fuji lenses as well. Fujis come with nice cloth roll up covers, but as I found out the hard way, one can roll out of the cloth cover off the end of a table. By pure good luck, there was a wicker trash can filled with paper and tissues near the desk, and the lens fell in and landed softly, but it could have had a very different outcome. That wouldn’t Have happened with a Canon pouch, and if it had, they provide lots more protection, they’re made with soft draw string suede uppers and leather padded bottoms, and the model number indicates the size and diameter I believe. The first digit (or digits) are the diameter - 8, 10 or 12 and the last two digits indicate the height. So an LP811 is just right for small Fuji primes, and an LP1014 or LP1016 seems to fit the longer FLs and zooms. They’re not cheap new, but I can usually find them on eBay in the $15 range - lots cheaper than a lens repair.

That started me wondering what everyone else is using, and whether you use pouches at all or just your padded carrying bags (I use both)? Are there better solutions?
