RB67 Lens Case

rmann · Dec 13, 2017

Anyone have suggestions for a lens case large enough to fit the diameter of an RB67 lens (4")? Looking for something current with a padded lining. Did a search and turned up cases by Pearstone and Ruggard that seem to have a wide enough diameter - just barely - I need lengths of about 4" to 5".

I have mine in Lowepro cases. Their largest diameter ones (at the time I bought them).
They are snug, but usable.

I've had a couple Outdoor Research units for years now. Sadly I could not find them on line any longer. I think I got them at REI years back. I really like them as I can fit (2) RB67 lenses end to end with a small foam spacer pad between the 2 lenses. A quick on line look at Amazon brought up a zillion comparable type cases. If I needed additional I'd research that stock there as they all seemed reasonably priced too.

Thanks for the leads - I will investigate these other options. Bob

Mamiya made their own, at least for the RZ lenses (Which should fit the RBs also). They are leather with a nice velvet lining.

Found a Lowepro case - I think I will go with these, thick padding and the lens diameter does fit. Size of the padding does make a big lens even bigger so they will not be easy to pack inside another case.

Bob, did you have a link to the product? Just curious as to what you settled on and it maybe of help for any future needs by others facing a similar situation.

coffee cans work for most of my lenses. i just use a bit of tiny bubble, bubble wrap to take up the slack. i like those red plastic cans best.

This is the case I am trying out:

So far it seems to be OK, lens fits and there is plenty of padding all around.

OP, looks and sounds good too. I really like the ones I've had for years as they're very pliable although still quite padded as well. What I really like about them is I can put two lenses in each case on an end to end basis with a small foam pad stuffed between the ends.
This one looks like a really solid case and will last you for years to come. Thanks for sharing this info.

Novoflex wrap. Lightweight, stable, quick and safe.
