    Send it back.

    IMO, you should NOT be worried about anything for $11,000.

    Personally, if buying this lens used, it'd still be very expensive and I would not buy one with a bubble myself … I'd look for another one.

    This lens switch case is for me a distinct improvement over the ThinkTank skin 50 V2 bag or the lens changer 35 V2 as I can get lenses with mounted shades more quickly out of the lens-switch-case than I could the other…[Read more]

    Thank you “Pete Walentin”. I guess i was not looking in the right direction. I have checked this link and this place is great. Actually you have solved my problem of selecting the right riad.
    Thanks once again 😮

    I haven't checked the site you are referring to, but we stayed in Riad Snan13. The prices are far away from 300 pounds and the location is perfect. Hope that helps.

    This 18746 bag is now carrying the M Monochrom and Noctilux lens comfortably, although I have to fold the strap carefully to squeeze it in. Then the pouch in front holds microfiber cloth, extra SD cards, SD and microSD adapters, ballpoint pen, small papers etc.
