For those of us who venture off the beaten track with your LF gear what
do you do about lens & lensboards?
Do you have each lens mounted to a lensboard? Change them in the field?
What do you do to protect them?

Greetings,
I would recommend against taking your lens unmounted. Invariably you will
pass many shots along the trail and miss them, because of the hassel.
I carry my lens mounted on the boards (Canham boards.) I use Zing neoprene
pouches in small and medium. The only time I need the medium size is when
carrying very large lens'. The small size will hold a Copal 3 mounted lens.
The are several benefits to using the Zing pouches: 1) They stretch to fit
just about anything. 2) They use a drawstring closure. 3) they have a web
strap and snap hook for attaching to anything. Typically when I'm hiking
through a "target rich" area, I carry the camera mounted to the tripod and
slung over my shoulder with a lens or two strapped to my belt. BTW, I'm not
affiliated with the manufacturer; I just think it's a pretty good product.
Good luck!
Regards, Pete
