Filter pouches

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

Thanks to all for the lesson on advance searching. It worked so well that I now have a somewhat original request. I'm looking for a filter wallet with a capacity for 6 filters (39 & 55) to fit in the front pocket (approx 8"x1")of the Billingham Alice bag. Any suggestions as to a manufacturer and/or retailer? Thanks for your help.

I like this case from MC Photographic for my Leica filters. It holds 6 filters up to 67mm size, and is reasonably well padded. (I also use their larger 12 pocket version for my MF and LF filters.) I found the clear vinyl in the Tiffen version mentioned above stuck to the glass in the filters and left a residue on them that was a pain to clean. IMO the Domke wallet does not have sufficient padding, and is bigger than needed for Leica M filters.

Cheers,

Brooks, B+W makes a 6-filter pouch which folds into thirds ; part. # B6. Their website is schneiderkreuznach.com. Cheers, Pat.

I agree with Jack. The MC pouches are really great.
