ERC = Ever Ready Case. The back section fits the body and the front sections
clip to it and cover the lens. The back attaches to the tripod socket which
isn't as good as the M series cases, but it's not too bad. I find these cases
great for going out with just one or two lenses (the other in a pocket or bum
bag) and having some weather and knock protection.
The best case ever is of course the one that fits my MX with 40mm f/2.8 like a
glove. Beautiful!

Nick,
Would use please educate me as to what you mean by
"..ERC, small and medium fronts" and how they relate
to lens mounts?
Thanks,
Jack
