      5.0 Great Organizer

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      The Baader cases let me organize all my filters into one "block". I have arranged my filters by Wratten number so that I can easily find any filter, even in the dark.

      5.0 Hard to find Baader Panetarium Filter Box

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      I had a missing Baader Panetarium filter box that I wanted to purchase to match a set of three that I already owned. These boxes have a unique dovetail interlocking system that keeps these filters conveniently grouped. Agena sold a replacement empty box at a fair price and I picked up a couple barrel caps to fill out the minimum shipping order price, I'm very pleased with this purchase. Thank you Agena.

      5.0 Perfect Management System

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      These stackables make the best system for managing 2" filters. They come with 3 foam pads; I cut a 48mm hole in one pad and glue it to a second pad. This keeps my filters centered. The third pad is available for other cases as needed. Excellent product.

      Stackable boxes that interlock to create a functional unit, easy to hold and access in the dark. Excellent dust and shock resistance!

      5.0 Modular organization for your filters

      Pros:

      Easy to Use,Compact

      Cons:

      Comments:

      I'm glad I found these. Previously, my astronomy filters were in assorted round and square cases. I had an area in my eyepiece bag for them, but I'd still have to dig through the pile of cases to find what I wanted.

      These are modular with a dovetail connections on the top, bottom, left, and right sides so you can stack them to create a modular block of "drawers". I bought 6 and stacked mine 2 wide and 3 high, then used a label maker to label the front of each "drawer".

      5.0 Excellent product

      Pros:

      Easy to Use,Strong Construction,Lightweight,Compact

      Cons:

      Comments:

      I already owned a few Baader filters, and think there cases are the best in the market. They are strong and durable, easy to use, and best of all stack together for a compact arrangement of your filters.
      I bought some other premium filters that came in cheap cases, that made the filter harder to access while observing. So I bought these extra empty Baader cases and continued to stack all my different filters together.
      All my filters are stacked together very nice and compact, and easy to use.
