Lonnie Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hi Mark,Just bought one today from Pulsar Optical for £25.00 who are local to me. I believe that most suppliers offer something similar on line.Hope this helps!Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Yes - flight case from Maplins.I think there is new stock going out - Coventry have 10 fresh ones in stock - still £19.99if you're eyepeices look a bit lost / or you think the case is too big - don't worry - you'll soom fill it !!

RikM Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I use a Maplins case for my EP's. For just taking a couple of small EP's along to public outreach events, I bought a padded pencil case from Tesco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Astra Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I've seen a fishing tackle box converted to EP storage. This can be a very inexpensive option if you are a DIY fan.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark12 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 that is a nice set of lenses http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31PdqCK843L._SL500_AA300_.jpgthis would be perfect, but without the lenses anyone seen one this size?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alowen Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Mine was from Jessops, cost around £12. Aluminium with diced foam insides so you can cut to size. They keep them in their stores too which is easier for me.Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
