I have too many lenses. Well maybe not too many, but certainly many. Some are used only with my Crown Graphic, most can be used on my other 4x5s, and some are used with only my WP setup. I usually use only 4-5 at a time and carry them in my backpack. The lenses not in my pack end up strewn about in various places in my house. I made a very good purchase of a Photobackpacker P3 and lens cases (and will probably make another purchase if stock still exists when I am ready), so I don't have lots of extra cash for LF related stuff. But, I digress . . . .
I found this very nice reel case on Cabela's website: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Cabelas-Fly-Reel-Case/1733968.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dreel%2Bcase%26x%3D15%26y%3D11%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts&Ntt=reel+case&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products
It came to my house yesterday, and now it holds all the lenses not in my P3 - Nine lenses in all. Some are small, like my tiny 90mm Raptar (or is it an Optar), some are bigger (like a 210mm Caltar II-N or 90mm f/8 Nikkor), and some are in between (like a 150mm Fujinon W or 210mm Caltar Pro). All of these lenses are on Wista/Technika type lensboards. Big boards like Cambo, Sinar or ARCA types would be a problem. The case is well padded and the dividers are easy to adjust. The price was nice - $29.99 plus shipping.
Just thought you might be interested.
