Re: incognito case

[Paul Stenquist]

I dont like lens bags or lens cases. They get in the way. I use pelican camera 
cases with soft dividers. Ultimate protection and convenience.

Re: incognito case

[Ken Waller]

When I was traveling for business, I had a Halliburton case that had thick foam 
inserts that I cut out to receive and isolate lenses and bodies. Worked well 
for me for over 18 years - a lot of rough handling and no issues with damage. I 
believe Halliburton use to offer replacement inserts for sale - you might try 
an auto upholsterer.

I have a hunch I'll surrender...

[Rick Womer]

…to temptation and get a K-3 iii after it’s been out a year or so.

It was this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDH7NUE5YiM

It is an evaluation of the high-ISO performance of the K-5 iii, and a 
comparison to that of the “full-frame” Sony a7 III.

Well, the ISO 204,800 shots from the K-3 are cleaner than I can get from my K-5 
at 6400. I do a lot of low-light shooting, especially when traveling, so this 
is very attractive.

The K-3 iii sensor appears at least as good in low light as that of the a7 III.

I’ll probably end up going that way, but I was hoping that there was an easier 
solution.  Between the home refi falling through, mom dying, losing my job, 
problems with unemployment, the current crop of home repairs, my laptop 
computer crapping out, it looking like I’ll need to drive back to Oregon for my 
second vaccine jab next week, and a few other less pressing issues, I had 
really hoped that someone would be able to point to something like a $3 plastic

Why not do what Pelican do?

Get a piece of strong material/fabric/whatever, form a pocket/envelope from it,
fill it with some sort of padding material, and sew or glue it shut.
(I'm sure you know _somebody_ with a commercial-grade sewing machine!)

For extra credit add flaps with Velcro fasteners and make movable dividers.

Thanks, Paul & Bob. It was about 100m away - tooted the horn gently! A 
Wildebees bull guarding his territory off to the left looked up too! 
Scroll L to see him. Only took the HD 55-300 which was at full stretch. 
The 150-500 would have done better.
