I love photography and am always trying to improve my craft. I'm blowing my own horn when I say that I take all of the photos posted on my blog. ;)
The lens covers I use now are not padded and I throw alot of stuff in my camera bag along with my lenses. My lenses need a bit more padding.
I saw similar lens padding at a well known photo site and decided to do my own. The name brand look alike burrito cases retail for 20 dollars each not including shipping. Mine cost about 2 dollars each for the two burrito wraps that I purchased using premade quilty fabric from Walmart.
I traced around a very large dinner plate for my 50 mm lens.
Wrap them up like a burrito with padding on both sides...
Hello Lens Burrito!
Here are my unpadded lens covers
And the burritos still fit into the carriers.
Have a great day!

Thanks so much for stopping by KC!!!
DeleteThis is very clever! I don't have lenses, but if I did, I would definitely do this. It also is a good idea for packing breakables of other kinds.
DeleteThanks,
Sheila
Definitely a great idea for needing cushion in packing! Great idea!
