How to Pack Two Lenses - 02-03-2009, 12:14 PM


Anyone who's read the classic work on Japanese design, "How to Wrap Five Eggs" will see here that the ethos and sensibilities documented in it are still an on going tradition in Japan today.

How to pack two lenses.

To me the packing is more interesting than the lenses.

If you have a shredder you can make your own packing 'stuff'.

Not the same quality and the whole point is quality and an appeal to the senses.
