For half a century I have recycled...my 100 sheet 4X5 film boxes. Most of my
lens boards are small enough to fit in them so I wrap the lens on the board in
bubble wrap, rubber band it, put it in the 4X5 film box and snap a rubber band
around it and then place it in my camera case. This has served me well
traveling by air to shoot in Paris, Munich, Milan, Florence and Tuscany, Rio,
Sao Paulo, LA and around the Caribbean. My Cambo lens boards are bigger so I
just use larger boxes but same bubble wrap w/ rubber band in box with rubber
band.
For my Mungo Jerry 360 Symmar for my 8X10, I wrap it in small bubble wrap
and place it (of course, on the lens board) in the original lens box; the lens
board just fits!. I use strong tape to close it. I have only traveled to 4
countries with my 8X10!
CHEERS!

My next step in this process is transporting the lenses. I have some
pelican cases that look like would be good protection. Right now I am
working with a lens that I don't want to damage, but if I have to damage one
it would be better to mess up this one than a more expensive one later. A
couple of layers of foam, and might even be 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.
