I don't know if this works for lenses, but a friend of mine is an archer. He first snugly wrapped his bow and accessories in a layer of felt and then in food cling wrap. He positioned everything inside the case at the right spot and height. The interior of the case was also lined with cling wrap. Then he filled the whole interior of the case with expanding foam. The next day he lifted the whole foam block out of the case and carefully cut it in half. He got rid of the cling wrap and lined everything with a kind of velvet. Since the bow and accessories had been wrapped in felt first, all pieces snugly fit in the velvet lined spaces.

Just an idea...

damage one it would be better to mess up this one than a more

able to arrange them vertically so you get every lens and lensboard I
would ever expect to own in one case.

Any thoughts?

Some things I know I wont do.  Foam peanuts.  What a mess.  Bubble
wrap doesn't seem like a good idea either.
