3 Pack Micro Lens Pouch for Leica, Micro Four Thirds, Fuji X-Pro 1, Sony NEX, Pentax Q, Nikon 1 Lenses - Small, Medium, Large

I ordered the micro lens pouch set from amazon yesterday and received them today. They appear to be a quality, well-constructed product. (I don't expect issues with durability down the road but if I run in to any I'll update this review). I tested the small, medium, and large lens pouches with all the micro four-thirds lenses I had on hand.Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 45mm f/1.8 with front and rear caps and front filter:*Fits nicely in the "small" pouch without a hood. With either a screw-in hood or bayonet, it's too tall to close the pouch. Can be stored with a bayonet hood with the hood in the reversed position.*Fits nicely in the "medium" pouch with either style hood attached.*Verdict: Buy the "small" if you don't use lens hoods, the "medium" if you do.Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 25mm f/1.4 ASPH with front and rear caps and front filter:*Does not fit the "small" pouch as lens diameter is too large.*Fits nicely in the "medium" pouch without a hood. Note that the hood supplied with this lens is not reversible for storage.*Fits the "large" pouch with the lens hood attached if you put the front end of the lens in first. If you put the lens in the other way, you can't fully close the pouch's drawstring.*Verdict: Buy the "medium" if you don't use a lens hood. Buy the "large" pouch if you do use the lens hood. Although it is a bit of a tight fit, it provides much better protection than the lens pouch supplied by Panasonic.Olympus M.Zuiko MSC ED M.12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 ASPH with front and rear caps and front filter:*Lens is too tall to fit either the "small" or "medium" pouches, with or without a hood.*Fits nicely in the "large" pouch without a hood. With a hood, you can't fully close the pouch's drawstring.*Verdict: But the "large" if you don't use a lens hood. Even if you do use a lens hood, consider the "large" pouch. It's better than nothing, which is what Olympus provides you.Voigtlander Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95 ASPH with front and rear caps and front filter:*Lens is much too tall for the "small" pouch even without a hood.*Almost fits the "medium" pouch without a hood, but you can't fully close the pouch's drawstring.*Fits nicely in the "large" pouch without a hood. With a hood, you can't fully close the pouch's drawstring.*Verdict: Buy the "large" if you don't use a lens hood. Even if you do use a lens hood, consider the "large" pouch. It's better than nothing, which is what Voigtlander provides you with this very expensive lens.Panasonic Lumix G Vario 7-14mm f/4.0 ASPH. Lens with front and rear caps:*Does not fit the "small" pouch due to both lens height and diameter.*Can just barely be squeezed into the "medium" pouch if you put the lens in front-first, but not a comfortable fit.*Fits the "large" pouch but it is a bit of a stretch getting the front end of the lens in.*Verdict: Buy the "large" pouch. It provides much better protection that the minimally-padded pouch provided by Panasonic with this pricey lens.Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm f/4.0-5.6 OIS with front and rear caps and front filter:*Relative to most micro four-thirds lenses, this lens is very large. It stands no chance of fitting in any of the micro lens pouches.*Verdict: Use the lens pouch provided by Panasonic, or consider another third-party offering.

These lens pouches for smaller X-series (Fuji) or Micro 4/3 or Sony E-series lenses are very high quality, with excellent padding and sturdy drawstrings (with cinching clasps to hold the drawstring closed). They are a bit on the pricey side, but the quality of them would seem to make up for that. The neoprene that is used in their construction is very thick and spongy, and they offer a good level of protection for lenses. If you are purchasing lenses, too, you know what those lenses cost: the extra few dollars to keep them in a protective pouch when not in use is really recommended.The one thing you have to look out for with these pouches is sizing, so make sure you know the height of your lens when it is collapsed to ensure your lens will fit. In my case, I have a series of Fuji X-series lenses, and the 16-50mm, the 18-55mm, and the 35mm prime all fit beautifully in the small or medium sized pouch. Where I ran into trouble was with the Fuji 55-200mm lens, which I thought would fit into the large pouch. It turns out, however, that the tallest pouch in this set is about one inch too short to completely encase my Fuji 55-200m lens, and so, sadly, I had to purchase an additional pouch from another brand to cover that lens. Nevertheless, I'm not sad that I purchased these, because the other lenses fit wonderfully, and the quality and the amount of padding makes them a great purchase for most smaller format lenses. Five stars for quality, five stars for price (once I had a chance to physically examine the quality of the pouches.)

After trying a bag insert system to carry my gear around, I found that I really wanted something more modular and less bulky. These fit that bill perfectly. If you're not going to carry it, what's the point, right? So far, so good with these. The large, medium, and small fit my Rokinon 12mm f2 (the hood has to be removed, reversed, and put in first), Olympus 75mm f1.8, and Panasonic Leica 25mm f1.4, respectively. Not gonna lie, that small case is almost always empty (I LOVE that lens!), so it holds other random bits most of the time, or sometimes the kit zoom if I'm carrying it. I also have the Olympus 9mm f8 floating around in the large bag with the Rokinon, so there is a bit more room in the large bag for little stuff like that. I do wish there were more options in these though. I am not a fan of nylon toggles at all.

I did not think I would need all three of these as I had nothing to put in the large one, but the trio was the most cost effective way to buy them. When they came though my original version Panasonic 14-42, which is a bulky lens, dropped right into the large one with the hood reversed, so that worked. I put the Oly 45mm lens in the middle size and the Panasonic 14mm pancake in the small one, and feel the lenses are quite well protected. The adjustable closure strings are quick and easy to operate. I recommend this set.

These products are great for the small Fuji XF lenses. I hate bulky padded camera bags so tend to put a bit of padding around the camera and lenses, then use a regular bag of some sort. These pouches provide some cushion without being too bulky. Note that NONE of these will fit the 55-200 lends, and even the large version (sold separately) is too small. I purchased 2 sets of these and my only disappointment was that they appeared black on Amazon's site in fact they are chocolate brown.

Very cheap quality............ended up buying another brand on Amazon for much cheaper and the quality was better.

They just work..
