Question Thin Lens pouch/bag?

Does anyone know where to get thin white lens lint pouches or "bags" like the ones included with some Panasonic Lens like the 20mm:

I find it is the perfect covering that takes almost no space in a camera bag, yet keeps the lens from getting scratched...

Any help would be great guys...
Thanked by DHart.

I like that one... But still looks pretty stiff & bulky for my needs...

Buy heavy boot socks. If you want to get fancy turn them inside out, cut them off above the heel, sew across the end and turn right side out.

Your pouches will cost about $1 each.

I use bubble-wrap " envelopes". Can be had in different sizes and very cheap.

I just looked in the "odds and ends" box every camera shop has, until I had what I needed...
But you are right, the Panasonic bag with the 20/1.7 is neat. You can fit the 14/2.5 in there as well!

Great idea, wouldn't be hard to add a drawstring if you wanted.

Still waiting for mine to arrive from China, but it's the smallest one I have found so far - smaller than the small size Matin neoprene pouches you can buy on ebay/amazon for about $2, anyway (which are great and I use for my legacy lenses).

But I have not yet found anything quite as small as the little Panasonic pouch that came with my 20mm. (I wanted another one as my 14mm lens was from a kit and hence no pouch/bag).

As well as the excellent suggestions above of bubble wrap envelopes and thick socks, an 'ipod sock' would probably work well too and cost as little as £1.50/ $1 (I use one as a camera pouch for my little Ixus point and shoot):

Thanks. The ones I bought have elastic tops, so they close up pretty well on their own.

Actually, they have exposed elastics on the inside-- like little rubber bands -- that tend to catch on things. Next time I buy I'll look for boot socks that don't have this "feature."
