Best case for a wartime 111c?
Well, I looked at the alternatives (including no case at all, which is where I've been for the last four years), and although the Luigi cases were tempting, finally decided to buy a reconditioned period case. This means a wartime case, with inherent weak strap problems.
Malcolm Taylor had one which was right - it's been on a trip to the Saddler for a new strap (using the old fittings), re-stitching where necessary, and leather-feed, and he (hopefully) painted the rivets this week, so the case should be with me early next week.
My thoughts are that since the camera is slow to use anyway, the ever-ready case won't slow things up much more. And I think the protection of a full case should outweigh any "slow shooting" issues.
I'll post a report on the case when it arrives. Meanwhile, all comments gratefully received....
