Great extra protection for lenses inside a camera bag, particularly from getting scratched by other lenses or equipment in the same compartments. If you ever plan to re-sell your lenses, these more than pay for themselves in cosmetic value at the very least

Semble être de bonne qualité et recouvre ma lentille très bien . Le Néoprène est assez épais pour assurer une certaine protection contre des coups légers en voyage dans un sac à main .Seul le Néoprène à un odeur qui prend du temps à se disperser .

Am using three of these - 251, 253, and 304, for my Olympus micro 4/3rds 14 - 42, 40-150, and 75-300 lenses respectively. The lenses all fit well into the pouches - circumferentially they are snug but you don't have to force the lenses into the pouches. Vertically they are all pretty close and the caps fold over easily to protect the lenses on all sides.These are good for what I am using them for - to keep the lenses from bouncing hard together and getting scratched up inside my camera bag. That is pretty much what they are designed for. They aren't going to do a lot if you drop a lens onto the concrete. Get a pouch with some structure to it if that's what you want to use them for. The only minor issue is that the caps don't really adjust precisely to the length of the lens since they are attached to the body of the pouch at a single point and fold over rather than screw down. But that's the way they are designed and it's clear from the pictures in the description that's the way they're going to work. In any case, they stay on and pad you lens a bit.I'm not a professional photographer by any means - I just like to have reasonable quality equipment that takes better pictures than most cell phones. I also like it to last - I still have my original OM-1 from the 1970s and it's doing fine when I want to shoot on film. These pouches will help me achieve that. Good quality for the price.

The diameter perfectly fits the Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM lens. The bottom will even create a slight air bubble for some unexpected cushioning. The pouch is flexible enough to accommodate the lens, hood, cap AND cap leash.The material is the same as your typical neoprene bottle sleeve, perhaps a tiny bit thicker, which is good enough for a light and tiny lens. The stitching where the pouch’s cap connects to the body seems to be doubled up; it’s much more reinforced than the corner stitching. I’m not afraid of ripping the seams anytime soon.The pouch cap can take a little getting used to compared to the standard zipper lid. The cap’s thickness makes it liable to snag and loosen when your pulling it out of your bag, but nothing major. My suggestion for improvement would be lining the areas of contact with sticky/rubber material to hold the it in place, as it’s best to “peel” the cap off by inverting it rather than sliding it off anyway.

This is a review fore the 253 Pouch with stated dimension of 2.5" dia. x 3" L. I really like these pouches for a couple of reasons. They work great because you don't have to deal with zippers and they don't take up a lot of room. You can a leave the Pouch on when you throw it on your camera bag because it doesn't add much added space over the dimensions of your lens. After you swap lens, they crush down and can be placed into your bag into pretty much any available space you have left.I use it on an SLR Magic 50mm/F1.1 FE Lens for Sony Cameras. The dimension of that lens are 2.6" diameter and 3.5" Length including the backing cap. Both of these dimensions are larger than stated by OP/TECH USA. But it still fits. This is because the material is stretchy and the collar on the pouch cap is fairly long. The 253 has collar about 1.25 inches. So even though the lens actually sticks out over the lip of the bottom portion of the pouch the long collar allows you plenty of length to overlap the top and bottom by at least a 1/4". I state at least, because I like to keep the original lens cap at the bottom of the pouch as a spare, so there would be another 1/8" if I just left that cap at home. Mind you, this lens is at the upper end of what this lens will fit. Also, the 50mm/F1.1 has a simple 1/2" screw on ring for a lens hood. The hood is included in my dimensions, so reversible petal style lens wouldn't have worked. Without the spare lens cap and the hood removed, the lens actually fits perfectly. So I really like that the flexible design allows me to accommodate the accessories if I want to bring them along. I did buy a more traditional zippered pouch for this lens, but it ended up being over bulky to the point where I couldn't put it back into my bag after the lens swap, so I would just leave it at home. I like bring the pouch in the bag because it provides some organization during the lens swap. I'm mentioned, I like to have an extra lens cap, so I know exactly where to find it if I need it. Also, I have a place to put lens backing cap along with a spare body cap after the lens swap, so it's there when I do my next swap. For this lens, you can also insert the lens with the back to the top allowing you to leave the pouch on the lens during the swap. This might be a small thing, but it frees up your hands for a quicker swap allowing you to put the pouch into your bag last. So I just shove the backing cap along with the body cap back into the pouch and crush it and cram it into any available space I can find. This is extremely helpful when I've just swapped from a long telephoto zoom lens that is now taking up twice as much space as the 50mm lens. Pictures included show lens with and without the spare cap and lens hood.If I could have one thing fixed on this pouch, I would ask OP/TECH a bit more silk screening. We've all seen athletic T-Shirts that have an oval of silk screening. That oval allows you write a name in the oval to allow the managers who do the laundry to sort out who they should return the shirt to after they've been laundered. Well, a similar silk screened oval would allow you to write the focal length to help identify it without pulling the lens out. This is particularly helpful if you are placing the lens with the front of the lens at the bottom of the pouch. If you have 2 lenses from the same manufacturer, you can have a couple of lenses have the exact same dimension because the lens bodies are shared and only the internal optics are different. I have Sigma 19mm and 30mm that like this. If I had Pouches for these lenses, I would have to pull out the lens to actually know if I had the lens the desired focal length.

I purchased this 251 and the 253 case for my Nikon V1 lenses. I keep the 10mm in this one and alternate the 10-30 and 30-110 in the other. They are well made and on and off is easy - one hand. This is perfect for protection and i can just toss the lenses in a purse or tote bag without worries. This 251 size is perfect for prime lenses but If I were purchasing again I would get the 253 for all my lenses. Too often I remove the 30-110 for the 10mm and of course can't fit the larger lens in this smaller case. If the case is too the large just use your thumb to dimple in the top. The lens will still be secure. I even store my Nikon v1 speedlight and lens filters in the 253. Op Tech products are top notch. I keep one of their wrist straps on my camera. Secure and comfortable.
