xabi Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · How do you store lenses in a non-camera backpack? I don't have a camera bag and I usually just carry my camera in my backpack. However, once in a while I would like to take a few more lenses for my hiking trip, mostly small primes (like 20mm, 50mm and 105mm primes). I would like to buy a small, padded bag with separate compartments to store my lenses, and just throw it in my backpack. I don't seems to find this kind of bag for carrying small lenses inside a backpack. Do you have any suggestion? In general how do you store your lenses inside a backpack? What I have been doing is just to store my lenses in my backpack together with my clothes and other stuffs, but I found that this way I usually have to pull everything out to find the lens I want. Is there a more organized solution for carrying small lenses for short trip? Thanks Nov 14, 2009 at 08:09 PM

Dakine makes a a couple camera bags that have removable inserts, which can also be bought separately. I use the insert from a Dakine Sequence when I want to carry a few lenses and a body in my regular backpack. Nov 16, 2009 at 10:26 PM

skyvan Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #7 · How do you store lenses in a non-camera backpack? Kata makes a bag that has seperated compartments. It will fit a small body with 3 lenses, a computer and then there is space for some other stuff in a small compartment. Be warned it is a pretty small bag though but it was my first real camera bag and is very well made. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/561687-REG/Kata_KT_DR_467_BR_DR_467_Digital_Rucksack_Black.html 80 bucks but comes with a $25 BH gift card making it effectively $55, a great deal.

mpmendenhall Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · How do you store lenses in a non-camera backpack? For hiking, I used to use thick wool socks or spare clothes in the pack. However, now I've switched to individual Lowepro lens cases for each lens (lots of 1M and 1S cases for the small lenses, 1N for medium ones) both for padding when tossed into a backpack and for easy access to the lenses when attached outside the pack (on the belt or loops on the shoulder straps). I like the Lowepro cases since they come in small sizes well suited to small older manual-focus primes. Nov 18, 2009 at 10:46 AM

Yes, I think they're better than the L pouches. The boots and guards are made from neoprene about 4mm thick that provides much better cushioning than the pouches. The boots have a strong clip on one side and a drawstring with a spring-loaded clamp on the other. I often clip a few snoot boots to the bottom parts of my backpack shoulder straps while traveling with smallish lenses. They hang out of the way while walking around, and you just have to reach down to grab them when you're changing lenses. Nov 19, 2009 at 11:37 AM

Wetsuit material, i.e. Stubbie holders (here in Australia), although they are one size for beer stubbies, but you can cut them up and insert to suit the size you need.... El cheapo solution.

MountainTop Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · How do you store lenses in a non-camera backpack? I like Lowepro cases. http://products.lowepro.com/catalog/Lens-Cases,11.htm One for each lens; they're really well padded, and can be belt mounted if you want to (geeky). Their camera cases leave something to be desired, but I like this system for lenses. Nov 22, 2009 at 08:07 AM
