Noctilux M 50mm f/1.2 Lens Case

I recently acquired a Noctilux M 50mm f/1.2 lens. The plastic display container that came with the lens is kind of cool in a retro way, but not very practical--especially for travel. Does anyone know which (if any) of the leather M lens cases would fit the 1.2? Or, can you recommend an alternative? Thanks very much.

FYR.

Exquisite, fine, smooth and expensive reference: http://www.leitax.com/Accesories-for-Leica-M-cameras2.html

Cheap but also remarkable in terms of best C/P ratio(diving cloth lens pouch):

I use this as my non-Leica leather pouch. They're pretty inexpensive, soft with sufficient cushion, stretchy and can be squished away when unused. Just got to find the right one to fit the Noct 1.2 (i guess right one depends on how snug you want to fit to be). My small pouch (forgot the model number) fits the 35FLE, 50lux Asph, 50APO or 28Cron nicely depending on which I want to bring in my bag. I like that flexibility.

Polypropylene sandwich zip bags work for me when traveling.

Thanks for all of your suggestions. Maybe I'll start with the sandwich bags. The price is certainly right!

Cheese and onion seem to work best.

 

 

 

 

This is a joke.  I don't recommend using a bag that was made for sandwiches.

For the benefit of anyone else looking for a leather Leica case for your 50 mm Noctilux f/1.2 lens, I wanted to let you know that, with the lens hood attached, it will fit perfectly in the case for the 50mm Noctilux 0.95. Many thanks to Mark at Leica USA for testing various cases and resolving this question.
