Abram Posted June 9, 2018 Share #1 Posted June 9, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone has discovered a good way to transport the DR goggles when they're not in use. I have yet to find an original case but I feel like a simple neoprene sleeve would be sufficient enough to protect it in my pocket or bag. Has anyone figured out a good solve for this? Or an alternative question perhaps is, do they even need protection? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exodies Posted June 9, 2018 Share #2 Posted June 9, 2018 a square neoprene wrap with velcro corners can protect anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abram Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted June 9, 2018 I've been experimenting with those type of wraps (have a couple for lenses and what not when I don't carry a camera bag) but they're all much bigger than needed. I'm going to look for a very small one Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted June 9, 2018 Share #4 Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) This old device with prism and doublet lens may be misaligned and/or lens separation when knock. I had one some ten years ago suffered while careless transportation with lens or prism/lens separation. Leitz/Leica provided a leather case COONH/14627 for it's protection. Lunette SDPOO et son étui en cuir COONH/14627 from summilux.net I don't have this case Now, when in doubt, I put SDPOO in small pouch or case with some kind of shock absorber and use it without trouble. A binocle hard case can be used also. Edit: I forgot to mention that I have one with cracked front lens (round one). I've never know how that occured. By chance I do have some spares .

sleepyhead Posted June 12, 2018 Share #7 Posted June 12, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just wrap mine in a small soft cloth when not in use. Like a handkerchief. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunette SDPOO et son étui en cuir CO Edit: I forgot to mention that I have one with cracked front lens (round one). I've never know how that occured. Fortunately my 50DR and goggles came with it's case - neatly attached to the camera case, not so fortunately though the goggles have suffered from a tiny area of separation (as you can just see in the photo), not sure when or how, and at first I thought it was a finger print. Not visible when mounted through the viewfinder though - so other than it annoying me to know it's there no affect so far. There is a case listed on e-bay at the moment (Netherlands), not too ridiculously priced. Welcome, dear visitor!

norbertnl Posted March 19, 2019 Share #9 Posted March 19, 2019 When not in use I wrap mine in a Leica lens cleaning cloth and slide it in a Billingham AVEA 3 pouch next to a JCH film case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spydrxx Posted March 19, 2019 Share #10 Posted March 19, 2019 You could go to a Tandy leather shop --- they often have small pouch kits or often they have club members who could fabricate one for you. FWIW in one of their plans books they had plans for a leather case for the lens with the finder mounted, as well as a modification which also had the camera mounted, For the truly ambitious, they pictured a completed one in tooled leather. It was gorgeous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
