Pentax Limited Lens Case 2

I've just purchased one of these from a forum member. They can be difficult to find brand new.

There are 6 'dividers' ; 4 soft and two that are firmer presumably for the ends. They all have velcro points on them. Originally there was a mark 1 case with a red logo which took 3 limited lenses. The mark 2 should take 5 (15/21/35/40/70). They are excellent for storage which was my reason for getting one, but I think in the field there would be a risk of one or another falling out.

Yes, I've wanted one of them for ages but haven't yet bought. Microglobe are the only company outside of Japan and the US that I know has stocked them.

I should mention I picked up a non-Pentax branded case that serves the same purpose very well, though it stores the lenses in two rows rather than one. I can't remember the brand but it seems pretty good and will store all the DA Limiteds and one other small prime (FA 50mm f/1.7 for example). It's good for any lenses with a 49mm filter thread.

Edit: Amazon UK's "Global Store", which I assume means it comes from the US, has them but at £47.93 they're very pricey.

I bought one from a forum member but with only 2 hard dividends. It works very well for Pentax Q system with the two zoom lenses and body plus lens 01 attached.

Jonathan - would be interested in which off brand case you bought.

When I had the LTD lenses I used a Op/tech Accessory Pack 8" ... still have it actually, only got the 70mm in it now.

I'm pretty sure it's the same Op/Tech as shown above. I probably got the idea from Mike.
