DA Limited Lens Case

We just received initial production pieces of the DA Limited Lens Case. I thought a few Pentaxians might like to see some detailed photos of the final product. The case should be available for sale in the next week or two at the pentaxwebstore in the US, as well as any dealers that choose to carry the item. The case measures approximately 9"(L) x 3.75" (D) x 3" (H). It comes with 4 padded dividers that have velcro tabs. Retail price is $49.95.


Photos shot with K20D and FA 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens.


(Note: As we sourced this product in the US, from Case Logic, I don't know if other Pentax subsidiaries will carry it.)











A few people have asked if you can use this case for the FA Limited's. As I only have a 31mm Limited with me, I posted a photo below showing this lens in the case. Not sure if the photo does a good job of showing it, but the 31mm is too big for the case. Very tight fit and too much pressure on the zipper to close the case. Sort of like trying to fit a size 10 foot in a 9 shoe!

  1. I like this. Now I'll just need a couple more limited lenses to fill it up. My 31 would be so lonely inside.

  2. Mr. Bunnell,

    I remember that this is your own design. I posted a photo of it on my blogsite way back and I still get email asking if I know when it will be out.

    It looks great. There is a link to your blog on my site.

  4. It's quite nice, and undoubtedly useful for DA Limiteds, but, what about the FA ones ? I would like to be sure that my 31 and my 77 fit well inside ...

    Thanks for the review.

  6. Ha! I guess I don't need to ask if my DA21, DA35, and DA70 will fit! Super-nice job, Ned. I was wondering when (or if...) this case would see daylight. When you do your forecast, +1 for me!

  11. I don't use the original FA 31 Ltd lens cap. I think that will help the situation a bit in this case.

    The thing is if you're carrying all 3 FA Ltds, surely 1's going to be on the Camera. So it should fit 2 FA Ltds.

    It'll be good if Pentax can source 1 for the FA Ltds as well.

  12. I like the size of the case. My only concern is while holding and opening the case, I can see the potential for one of the lenses to slip out of the case. I would have preferred the zipper to be on the top rather than on the sides. my 2c

  13. That's a very nice accessory. I wonder if it will fit an FA 50 1.4? That and the DA 21 are the only small lenses I currently own, so the case wouldn't see much use if it didn't fit the 50.

  14. Very nice case.
    You should talk with Pentax Canada; I would buy it along with the hand strap if they offered it.
    And the US site doesn't sell outside the US.
    Thanks!

  15. Hey Ned is it possible to get one of these in the UK?
    Would you be willing to send me one? If I send you the money? I would really love one! :)
