8x32 BA Aftermarket Case/Rainguard? (1 Viewer)

[Tomly]

I recently found a secondhand pair of 8x32 BA for a nice price. They’re currently with Leica for a CLA, but I don’t have any accessories.

I’ve had good experiences with Lowepro for camera cases, but can anyone recommend a well fitting soft case of any brand that offers decent protection? Any thoughts on a rainguard?

Good luck with the search and I'll probably get one if something good gets recommended.

Opticron for the guards.... always superb
Zeiss Conquest cases are also great, really well made and cheap, even brand new.
You can always remove the Zeiss logo carefully with a razor blade, if that bothers you, but they are well made, well padded, and close properly.
I keep a Zeiss bag in the bottom of my rucksack for when I want to drop my Meoptas in there occasionally, as the Meopta case doesnt offer much protection.

+ 1 on both the Opticron rain guard and Zeiss case.

You might give Leica a call and let them know you need a rain guard. Might be a freebee if they have one that fits.
Congrats on your acquisition.

I have to square up with Leica for the repair fees. Looks like I’ll have a bit more than $500 into them by the end (which feels decent given the refurb Leica is putting them through). While I have them on the phone, I’ll ask about rain guard/case, but I expect the cost of going aftermarket to be less.
