[LargeFormat] LF Camera Case

[Dave Southwood]

i haul my large - format around in an extremely durable case made by an
americam co. called 'pelican'. it cost me some but its watertight and
travelsafe, i am happy to dump it in the hold when i travel by air. it also
has a set of wheels and a handle for short drags which make all the
difference as you well know. i am a south african who travels in on old
mercedes with a gargantuan boot. whenever i spot something i want to
photograph i haul the brute out, attach the yolk to me shoulders(haha), and
walk to the location. on a serious note, its made my L - format photography
a helluva lot easier. if you are all set on manufacturing yourself your own
case, good one. i normally DIY my cases but this fitted the bill too
closely. what about a pram?

what comes inside the case is foam which one can customise conveniently by
pulling out strips. extremely well thought out
