Well I finally found a factory Canon LH-D12 lens case to go with my 50mm f1.0. Because if you're going to have the most exotic 50mm lens Canon ever made, what is it worth without the fancy case that it came with?
Thing is, I'm not exactly sure how this case is supposed to be inside. When I got it, it came with the little chunk of gray foam just thrown inside the case, and the little loose piece of velvet fabric was shoved in the top, but with the velvet side facing away so you couldn't see it. I'm pretty sure that's not right. But what is the proper way these little pieces are supposed to go in the case? I'm guessing that little chunk of foam goes in the hole in the lid, and then that piece of fabric gets tucked in around it with the red velvet side facing out, so it makes a little squishy area for the rear lens cap to set inside when the case is closed.
There are very few photos of this case online, and the ones that are out there seem like they might be missing this piece of fabric and foam entirely. Does anyone have this case or one similar, and is that how it's supposed to go? I know this is splitting some massive hairs, but what's the fun in collecting a vintage lens case if you can't obsess about whether or not it's put together right?
