The best photography pouch I’ve owned

The Range Pouch is:

Easy to pack — the pouch has a low profile Design that lays flat when empty.
Tough — is made of 400D Nylon with a DWR (Durable Water Repellant) finish.
Very Tough — reinforced stress points using Hypalon, and reinforced padding and bar tacked stitching to minimise wear.
Flexible — The top portion of the pouch compartment is made of stretchable fabric, to accommodate different sized objects. This also makes inserting and removing an object easy.
Accommodating — the opening flap hook and loop system can be pulled down to almost the bottom of the pouch ensuring a snug fit with smaller items.
Quiet — unidirectional loop Hook and Loop system, which allows quieter opening of the opening flap.
Easy to fit — Hook and Loop belt system which does not require you to remove your trouser belt to fit, or remove the pouch.
Compatible — two rear anchor points for securing a Peak Design strap.
Identifiable — semi-transparent mesh with two plastic name labels allowing for 4 different names to be shown to indicate pouch contents, for example.
Protective — a soft cotton twill interior lining which can pulled down to act as a divider when carrying two lens for instance.
Convenient — a front internal pocket for storing low profile items like lens caps or filters for example. And a rear carry strap.
Covering all bases — Comes in three sizes: Small, Medium & Large.

Measurements

At first I wasn’t sure I wanted to buy a Range Pouch. I had been using the now-defunct Peak Design Lens Capture, which had a design flaw whereby the covers of the Lens Capture fell off. The upshot of this you ended up with dust on your sensor.

To replace the Lens Capture I bought the Range Pouch in medium and largge for carrying my lenses.

When I started wearing the large Range Pouch on my trouser belt – I knew I was onto a winner. It just felt right. It easily carries my 70-300mm lens with room for another prime manual lens a 15mm/21mm for instance. And with my 24-70mm zoom on my camera; I can cover most focal ranges I need for landscape photography.

Another big selling point is the Range Pouch it sits low profile sits well on your belt when the pouch is empty; and packs well in your bag.

With the large pouch I can quite easily fit my 70-300mm zoom lens
