Anyone remembers those old soft and hard camera cases?

But, I've never used any that ever came with any camera I've owned. If your using the camera, you don't want the case. There would be the case of perhaps climbing where you don't want the camera getting bumped around. Then you have to undo the case while your hanging from a cliff. greg |

The case is pretty effective at protecting the camera from minor bumps. I agree that I would normally remove the case entirely before using the camera. Peter. -- |

There would be the case of perhaps climbing where you don't want the camera getting bumped around. Then you have to undo the case while your hanging from a cliff. If you're scrambling you should be able to stand hands free most of the time. If it's the kind of climbing where most of the time you'd fall off if at least one hand wasn't being used to hold you on then you ought to be using rope protection. And if you're using rope protection you should be able to get a camera out of a bag without too much difficulty. Rock climbing photographers who track heroic climbers up very difficult rock faces will change lenses while hanging (on rope) from a cliff. If you carry an uncased camera up difficult climbs or even scrambles you do run quite a serious risk of it swinging round into a damaging impact with rock, or you slipping and crushing it into the rock. -- Chris Malcolm |
