Golly! Talk about a Great case for digital cameras for use whilst traveling. I guess 1-hr photo places are also able to profit from this. Dairenn Lombard Los Angeles, CA

I carry an Olympus D-40 digital camera with me everywhere I go – that’s what I used to take the blurry shot of my wrecked rental car last week in Kansas City. I also like to shoot medium format film – 120 roll film in old post-war German folding cameras, like Zeiss Nettars and Agfa Isolettes. I get ‘em on eBay for $20 and fix ‘em up, they take great pictures and now I have a nice scanner for the negs. But alas, TSA monkeys want to unroll the film to examine it from time to time. I’m surprised they don’t lick it. And mechanical cameras just amaze them, like showing fire to a neanderthal. "Ooga! Lens pop out! Zorg, come look! Lens pop out! This be computer? Umbrella? Where batteries go? How work? Poke-poke-pinch-ouch! Grrr, smash!" These are the people that dessicant labels warning "Do Not Eat" were written for. Best Regards, Bill Mattocks
