Lens Case Ideas
1

Can I ask what people are using for lens cases for the native EF-M lenses? At the moment I'm using neoprene ones with drawstrings, but they are looking quite worn now, and they don't provide complete sealing - I'd prefer ones with zips.

I carry spare lenses in a rucksack or other bag, so the cases don't have to be bomb-proof, they just need to be better than tossing a lens in loose with all the detritus like keys and and sandwich crumbs and so on.

To avoid carrying empty cases, I swap them around - so if I have three lenses on a day out for example, I'll have one on the camera and two in cases in my rucksack, and the lens cases get rotated round as needed. This does mean that all the cases need to be of the largest size needed (for the 55-200mm) because, even if a smaller lens happens to be in one of them right now, it needs to have capacity to take a larger lens that might be swapped into it. This has suited me well for years, but I'm open to changing that method and carrying one-case-per-lens so I can have cases that fit each one properly.

So far I have ordered two cases online only to find them way too big and have to return them. Everything out there seems to be scaled for DSLR. The EF-M lenses seem to all be 65mm in diameter and the longest is 105mm with caps and I'm struggling to find anything that fits them snugly and takes advantage of their small size for packing. I am in the UK. Thank you.
