Hi, when shooting I tend to work with a 21mm, a 35mm and a 75mm. So I would like to use a two lens belt pouch but I cannot find any out there. Does anybody use/come across, know of, a twin lens belt pouch?

Check out the LowePro Terraclime soft pouches.

The smallest size of them just fits a 35/2 without lens hood nicely.

One size larger fits all lenses up to a size of a 75/1.4 or 90/2, which are just too large to not fit without squeezing (hence not usable for changing in a rush).

One size larger than that will easily fit a Leica M body with body cap for traveling or even a Leica M with a small lens attached (but without lens hood).

It will also fit larger lenses like a 135 APO with ease and of course works beautifully for hanging off your belt and just swallowing any piece of kit you quickly want to put away.

 

Just use a combination of two of these and wear them on the belt.

 

I use them for many different purposes with camera gear.

- protecting lenses when traveling (rolled up with lens inside)

- sorting lenses in a camera bag (just leave the pouches open and basically use them as compartments)

- quickly put one of them on a belt and have an extra lens (or battery) at hand without having to raid the shoulder bag or back pack

- have one of these empty in the bottom of a compartment in a camera bag as a cushion

- put one of these in a coat pocket and inside of it a lens (protecting the lens from metal bits of the coat pocket or sharp objects as keys)

 

Btw - the smallest size of these is always in my camera bag with a micro fibre cloth, two Leica M8/9/MM batteries and two extra SD cards.

When traveling, the very same size smallest pouch holds 5 Leica M8/9/MM batteries and packs away nicely.

The medium sized pouch nicely holds the compact Leica M8/9/MM battery charger + 15cm cord I found somewhere and forgot where.

This same medium sized pouch will also nicely fit an Apple MBP charger or external USB drives.

 

There is also a small messenger bag style version complete with zippered compartments and 2.5cm shoulder belt.

 

They come in three colors, light grey, green and black - I only use black ones.

Good feature is that these pouches have two sturdy little cord slings attached to them (like ears), which allow to take a standard Leica shoulder strap with quick connectors and even wear these pouches over your shoulder/ cross body/ under a coat, …

 

 

Gillingham also makes some very nice accessory pouches for their bags which can double as belt pouches.

I have a few of those in a size that can swallow a Leica M with 35/2 attached and use them when I do not carry any bag but don't want to sling a camera over my shoulder.

They easily take two small to medium Leica lenses on top of each other but they do are rather sturdy and bulky bags.

I was looking at the Thinktank Slim Changer

Looks like it easily has room for 2, and likely 3 Leica lenses (providing they arent too big)

The teason i was looking for a 3 lens carrier, is so i have somewhere to stash a lens, when i am swapping them (2 lenses in pouch, one on camera, lens comes off camera into 3rd slot, put other lens on camera.)

i like my slim changer....enough room for a 75 summilux and either a 28 cron or 50 noct and also two batteries, a lens pen, variable nd filter, expo disc, cleaning cloth and my wallet.  good material quality like all think tank products, comfortable to wear and easy to get into.

I am going to have to add one to my kit then.....

I love all the thinktank gear i already have.

 

 

They look lovely, and i really like the M holster.

I cant really justify the price though...
