LensCoat FilterPouch 2 (Realtree Max4)

Comments about LensCoat FilterPouch 2 (Realtree Max4):

I use these filter pouch's to store the len's cap and eye piece cap from my spotting scopes while in the field so that they don't get lost or mis-placed. (I hang one from each tripod's center column bottom hook.) These LensCoat pouch's say they will hold 77mm sized filter's. Ya, if you really stretch them out to fit! They are about 1/8" smaller in diameter then the one's made by OP-Tech USA. Which I think are in themself's 1/8" too small in diameter for a good, or easy fit for a 77mm filter or 77mm sized len's cap! Overall that makes the LensCoat one's 1/4" too small!! BOTH COMPANIES need to make these filter pouch's slightly larger in size (diameter)! Especially since more and more people are using them to store spotting scope lens cap's & eyepiece cap's in while in the field. Also; more & more companies are making 82mm, and 85mm, and larger objective len's spotting scopes every year now. (I can squeeze my 82mm len's cap into the OP-Tech USA model if I really-really stretch it out. But; it's really hard to get out then, and I'm sure it's going to rip the seam open sooner or later since it's streched to it's limit's!) I wouldn't even try it with the LensCoat model. It's just far too small. If both companies made a model to fit say an 85mm sized len's cap, it would easily work for any size up to that, and make it a lot easier to put a len's cap or filter into it and take it out again. I'm sure there would be a market for it! Bird watching is the 3rd. fastest growing hobby in America. Proably 55-65% of all serious Birder's have, or use a spotting scope afield when they think it's going to be needed. To say nothing of all the big game hunter's out west who use a spotting scope while afield. [Either companies present pouch's will fit cap's from a 62mm or 65mm spotting scope pretty good though.] But, I think the market call's for a larger diameter size to be made available.

Clip this to your belt loop or bag for quick filter changes without have to dig through your bag.
