Filter Pouches / Sleeves

[scuby]

I've been looking for a better way to store my filters, and drawn a bit of a blank, but i refuse to believe that what i want doesn't exist, so hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Basically, i have a few filters (all screw-in type) which i want to keep in my camera bag. The first couple are ok, because there's a couple of pockets in the bag which are a perfect fit. But i now have more filters, and nowhere to put them.

I don't want a big wallet for them all (since my camera bag is relatively small and don't want to have to carry filters separetely) - would rather each was individually wrapped in something small, so thinking something like a microfibre cloth pouch... does such a think exist? Doesn't necessarily have to be microfibre of course, but something along those lines - basically as small / thin as possible, but which provides scratch protection to the filters and which won't leave them with marks on or dusty.

Today i just ordered a couple of cheap sunglasses pouches, which are microfibre i think, but they're a bit big for what i want.

Any ideas greatly appreciated,

David

I am a big fan of DIY.

So why not buy some microfibre material or item and make your own pouch with a sewing needle and thread?

It would be cheaper and would be exactly what you want.

How about cutting up some socks to fit? Thickness of socks you can choose from the store before you buy them :shrug:

i use a standard DVD/CD case; the tupe that holds about 20. They are soft lined individual pockets and are good for around 5-6 filters in them.

Yep, the one I have has semi-opaque sleeves so I can label them, 1 stop ND soft grad, 2 stop etc.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Looks like simple answer is that no one makes anything quite like what I want. However, given another post on here today about the cheap micro-fibre cloths from 3M, i've ordered some and am going to have a go at making my own! Should be just the right size then, lint-free, and I can put a bit of a flap at the end to stop them dropping out and rolling around my bag.

Tamrac S.A.S. Compact Filter Case

I'd come across that Tamrac one, thanks though. Was probably the closest one i've seen that i've been tempted by, but still a bit chunky. Really need individual pouches no slot them in my bag.

Cheers for the thought though
