I'm looking at purchasing an everyday camera case for my Retina reflex III and while there are many options, many of the cases are designed for today's lenses which are generally quite large and drown most of the Schneider and Rodenstock lenses
As most of you on this forum are actively using your vintage cameras, can you give me an idea of what you are using and why.
My requirements are for the Retina Reflex III with a 50mm Rodenstock as well as a 28mm, 135mm and at 200mm (this is used sparingly as it has a minimum focus distance of 28ft)
The waiste/belt type appeals to me as it is less bulky. I current have a Lowepro Magnum which I find too large for walking around with. Additionally I'm trying a a Kata DW-491 belt type which is heading in the right direction but too small. Needless to say I could just get a larger Kata but then the lens pouches begin to really drown the Schneider lenses.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks Martin

a contractors' tool belt made of leather with many small pockets may fill the bill.

+ the Domke using the insert. Better than any "Never-Ready" case.
