What do you call the more important (to me) anti-fungal packs?
What do you do for the backs of the lenses though? Just leave them open in the pouch?
Completely open... no rear cap either. Each lens has their own pouch so there is no chance of two lenses banging or rubbing against each other and scratching elements. I sometimes shoot with two cameras around my neck. I've had one camera bang into another cracking the front filter.
btw... I often shoot with 30-50 year old lenses too. Many have well known to have soft glass elements. I had one CLA'd and had the tech put a nice filter on it after completing the cleaning. That filter has never been removed from the lens.
For me protection is important. I have severely scratched a filter in the areas I like to roam for pics. Last one was a small jagged rock that came off an area I was climbing up. It got past the lens hood and, would have done the same to the lens.See, I knew you didn't use them. Using one and not the other (to me) is like using a dual-port prophylactic.
OK, that wasn't that funny. I wanted to make a joke about using protection where it's seldom needed and not protecting against the more real and common dangers. (kinda ineffectual overall )
I'll probably think of something terribly funny in a week when the thread no longer relevant.
And there's no trouble with dust or grainy bits entering in?
Do you have any picture threads up with images where some of your older lenses in your collection were used? I'd like to take a look.
