Looking for a lens case in Montreal? This page brings together padded cases, soft pouches and hard cases for camera lenses and cine lenses, so you can store and carry your glass with less worry about dust, scratches and knocks. For a wider choice of bags, see our Camera Bags & Cases.
How to choose a lens case
Start with the lens itself. Measure its length and widest diameter, with the hood on or off depending on how you pack it, and pick a case with a little room to spare. Then think about how you use it:
- Zoom lens case: a padded, zippered case suits a standard or telephoto zoom in a bag or on a belt. Lowepro makes many sizes, from the Lowepro Lens Case 11 x 14cm (Black) to longer zoom cases.
- Lens pouch: a soft pouch is light and quick, ideal as an extra layer inside a camera bag. See the 7artisans Photoelectric Soft grey Lens Pouch.
- Hard case: for several lenses, cine lenses or travel, a hard case gives the most protection against impact.
- Super-telephoto: choose a case made for long lenses, such as the Tamron Lens Case for SP 150-600mm Lenses.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best lens case?
It depends on the lens and how you travel. A padded zippered case suits a single zoom, a soft pouch adds light protection inside a bag, and a hard case is best for several lenses or for transport.
Do you have lens cases for Nikon?
Yes, we list the Nikon CL-L6 Lens Case and the Nikon CL-L3 Lens Case. Check your lens model against the case dimensions before ordering. You can also browse Nikon F-mount lenses.
What is a lens pouch used for?
A lens pouch is a soft cover that protects a lens from dust and light scratches while it sits in a camera bag or backpack.
Should I choose a hard or soft lens case?
Choose soft for everyday carrying and light weight. Choose hard when you ship, fly or carry expensive lenses and want more protection against impact.
