OT: accessory pouch for Zeiss viewfinder

[guy_mancuso]

Well this is a odd request but i have a Zeiss 21mm viewfinder that I use for the WATE but it comes with no leather pouch. been looking on e-bay and really nothing I can think of that would be able to put this in. I carry it is a carboard box which stinks. Any idea's that i could put this in. I would like something nice

I did find this but it is 40 dollars but looks perfect

I've been looking for exactly the same thing but wanted neoprene. I don't know if zing makes one that small?

[guy_mancuso]

I think I just bought the last one. Not sure why i did not search for this earlier

Jewellers have these small velvet pouches with a string-pull closing that will fit perfectly.

[guy_mancuso]

Thought of that one Jaap also. Strange how the little things count. LOL

[jaapv]

It is because we have to gift-wrap these pouches so often...

[guy_mancuso]

Your right i have hundreds of those little blue pouches from Tiffany's. I'm sure my wife would give one up. Forgot all about that. ROTFLMAO

Ziplock bags work for me... A step up from sandwich bags. Lemmesee, 2 bags * $30.00 not too shabby. Pays for part of my Artisan and Artist leather bag.

YMMV obviously...

Try a fishing rod store - I guess real fishermen have multiple reels, and the little soft drawstring bags they use are perfect for a lens....I was in one with a friend and they just gave me a couple (with their logo on it, I think they give away a lot of these), all a different color, so you can tell things apart from the outside.

Be careful! You've obviously been okay with these bags (i assume you've been using the Ziploc brand), but some of the plastics in similar bags have some form of 'sand' texture that will SEVERELY scratch glass surfaces!

I put a brand-new iPod into a Muji ziplock plastic bag (for protection, ironically enough), and one hour later the ENTIRE surface was finely sandpapered with tiny scratches.
Can't imagine what it might do to finder glass...

Take a look at what Op/Tech has to offer. Lots of neoprene solutions.

Thats the right one ...I found one on ebay and its a perfect fit or the Zeiss 25/28 finder .

[guy_mancuso]

Thanks Roger i did order that today. shame you pay 350 for a finder and no case, Zeiss should be ashamed of themselves.

[guy_mancuso]

Not sure of this place but they have one

I am not sure if the pouch you bought which was made for the 24mm finder will fit the larger 21mm finder. However you could try to purchase a leica soft case made for the 21-24-28 viewfinder which should be perfect for the Zeiss. I tried it with my old viewfinder from the Contax G2 21mm and it is perfect.

Thanks Woody been worried about if it will fit. I will get it in the next day or so and hope it does.

Next time you go shopping for her, keep the soft pouch and throw the inside stuff away. Then she won't need the pouch.
