Tamaño perfecto para lentes pancake

This is a review fore the 253 Pouch with stated dimension of 2.5" dia. x 3" L. I really like these pouches for a couple of reasons. They work great because you don't have to deal with zippers and they don't take up a lot of room. You can a leave the Pouch on when you throw it on your camera bag because it doesn't add much added space over the dimensions of your lens. After you swap lens, they crush down and can be placed into your bag into pretty much any available space you have left. I use it on an SLR Magic 50mm/F1.1 FE Lens for Sony Cameras. The dimension of that lens are 2.6" diameter and 3.5" Length including the backing cap. Both of these dimensions are larger than stated by OP/TECH USA. But it still fits. This is because the material is stretchy and the collar on the pouch cap is fairly long. The 253 has collar about 1.25 inches. So even though the lens actually sticks out over the lip of the bottom portion of the pouch the long collar allows you plenty of length to overlap the top and bottom by at least a 1/4". I state at least, because I like to keep the original lens cap at the bottom of the pouch as a spare, so there would be another 1/8" if I just left that cap at home. Mind you, this lens is at the upper end of what this lens will fit. Also, the 50mm/F1.1 has a simple 1/2" screw on ring for a lens hood. The hood is included in my dimensions, so reversible petal style lens wouldn't have worked. Without the spare lens cap and the hood removed, the lens actually fits perfectly. So I really like that the flexible design allows me to accommodate the accessories if I want to bring them along. I did buy a more traditional zippered pouch for this lens, but it ended up being over bulky to the point where I couldn't put it back into my bag after the lens swap, so I would just leave it at home. I like bring the pouch in the bag because it provides some organization during the lens swap. I'm mentioned, I like to have an extra lens cap, so I know exactly where to find it if I need it. Also, I have a place to put lens backing cap along with a spare body cap after the lens swap, so it's there when I do my next swap. For this lens, you can also insert the lens with the back to the top allowing you to leave the pouch on the lens during the swap. This might be a small thing, but it frees up your hands for a quicker swap allowing you to put the pouch into your bag last. So I just shove the backing cap along with the body cap back into the pouch and crush it and cram it into any available space I can find. This is extremely helpful when I've just swapped from a long telephoto zoom lens that is now taking up twice as much space as the 50mm lens. Pictures included show lens with and without the spare cap and lens hood. If I could have one thing fixed on this pouch, I would ask OP/TECH a bit more silk screening. We've all seen athletic T-Shirts that have an oval of silk screening. That oval allows you write a name in the oval to allow the managers who do the laundry to sort out who they should return the shirt to after they've been laundered. Well, a similar silk screened oval would allow you to write the focal length to help identify it without pulling the lens out. This is particularly helpful if you are placing the lens with the front of the lens at the bottom of the pouch. If you have 2 lenses from the same manufacturer, you can have a couple of lenses have the exact same dimension because the lens bodies are shared and only the internal optics are different. I have Sigma 19mm and 30mm that like this. If I had Pouches for these lenses, I would have to pull out the lens to actually know if I had the lens the desired focal length.

Pratico, leggero, garantisce un minimo di protezione all'obiettivo.

A bit small for my 50mm f1.8 but the best protection and design I’ve seen.

Perfekt für kleine Objektive.
