New use for beer coozies...

April 25th, 2013
If you've got more foam coozies than bevies to keep cool, try using the extras as protective sleeves for your lenses. Lens will fit snugly inside and be cushioned both inside and out. I did cut a slit down the side of mine for easier removal. If it is too tight, you risk damaging or dropping the lens when removing.

Cheers for the tip..

There will be members all over the world scratching their heads right now Leslie (most of the world don't use them/know what they are)

For those that have never heard of them - ask an Australian, or click HERE

what a great idea!!!!!

@styru We in the USA know what a beer coozie is.

Crown Royal whiskey bags work well to. Not as protective as a foam coozie but still nice and also soft enough cloth they can be used to clean the lens glass too.

Great idea, I will give it a try!

We here in Wisconsin have been using them for that for a long time. We are well familiar with all things beer! :)

Great tip! (Indeed we yanks call 'em coozies too. "Bevies", on the other hand, I had to google.) @lesphoto @styru

Just shows how a supposedly common language isn't one.

Squam (in the US) knows coozie - and yet not bevies

Here in the UK the word bevies is common - but only those of us that have been to a barbeque hosted by an Australian would know what a coozie is.

nice idea!!

We call them stubby holders in Melbourne, Australia! And beers are now sometimes referred to as "frothies"! Like this idea for storing a lens though!

Great idea!

@styru I'm an Aussie and never heard of a beer doozie, had to google it. Stubby holder is what I know it as.

there are two beers here, green bottle and brown bottle, or white can or green can. And a beer cosy is referred to as a bottle holder. So one should walk up to the bar and say "mi laikim wanpela brown bottle plis, na yu gat wanpela bottle holda tasol?"

Did someone say beer and stubby holder.... I used a few of them yesterday
April 26th, 2013
Haha I even never considered that! :D

Now I know what to do with all those extras lying around! Excellent idea!
