I have FA rather than DA lenses so thiss hould work well. I thought some soft foam in the netting might help in holding the lenses when the lid is closed.

I've just had a good play with it. Got 2 Limited's and the Q with 5-15 in it no problem. It all feel nice and snug. With the shoulder strap fitted it fits me quite well

I used this over the weekend, took it with me over the 2 days spent in London. Had 2 Limited's a memory card holder and my wallet in it most of the time, the wallet was a little wider than the case and the zip was pretty snug/tight over it. It performed perfectly, felt solid and it wasn't long before I stopped checking it hadn't burst open and spilled its guts all over the floor. I'll be using it a lot more

Looking for a similar thing, but wearable on the belt. might have room for only 2 LTDs - that's fine. Something as unobtrusive as possible for street photography. Belt makes for faster changing when needed.

Any suggestions?

The velcro straps on the lensbaby case could certainly be used on a belt, and with the zip top opening you should be able to open it without too much fear of a lens falling out. It may be a little large for what you are looking for, with a capacity for 4, maybe 5 limiteds, but the extra space could be used for spare battery or other oddments when you are out and about.

True. I was hoping there's a ready-made product for my scenario. I guess I'll have to keep googling.

The Lowepro lens cases have a velcro fastening that can be used to securely attach them either to straps on Lowepro bags or onto a belt. Check the height of the lenses you want to carry (with a divider to avoid scratching) and use one of those.

Of course, one will be on top of the other and this might be a more expensive option.
