3.0 out of 5 stars Needs a space for the aperture tool and disks, November 12, 2009

It's sturdy.

It looks nice, and says Lensbaby in shiny letters.

It fits the Muse or Composer lenses just right.

But it doesn't have any place to stash the vital aperture-changing tool / aperture-disk holder. That virtually guarantees that the lens and its apertures get separated, leading to frustration. The irony is that the cheap cloth bag that comes with the lens works much better, as it has flexibility to stash the tool inside as well.

I suppose if you primarily use the Zone Plate / Pinhole optic, that wouldn't be a big concern.

Also, there's no clip or fastener for easily connecting to a camera bag; not a big deal but that'd be nice.

Bottom line is: Lensbaby has the opportunity to make a unique case designed for their product, and this isn't. It's just a decently-made generic lens case with the Lensbaby label.

Sturdy, nice fit for my Composer.

Would give it a 5 but the exposure disks and tool will not also fit in the case.

3.0 out of 5 stars Right sized, well padded, but the zipper's gotta go, September 15, 2010

This case is the right size for your Lensbaby Composer (or any of the elements), but the zipper is a pain in the a$$. The Lensbaby line already has you fiddling around with aperture disks, the optic swap lid tool, etc. and having to mess with unzipping a zipper just to get to your stuff is another effort for already-full hands. It sounds immaterial, and whiny but you'll see if you use your Lensbaby a lot.

They could have used magnets, Velcro, friction, etc. and because the zipper is mounted on fabric, it moves a bit and catches on itself sometimes.

I'm glad I have these, but they could have been engineered better that's all. I bought three of these (got one, liked the custom size and protection it offered; then got two others later on). If there were an alternative, I would recommend at least looking at it if you swap out your lens/elements very often.

Bottom line: these are well padded, the correct size and are labeled on top so you know it's part of your Lensbaby system.
