Re: Pack for 7x17 camera
I've found a good bag to be necessary for nights in the desert southwest, it
often gets very cold, even in summer. Also, there are heat seaking reptiles and
scorpions there, you know, who'd love to share your warmth.
As to a pack, what are the external dimensions of the camera folded, assuming
you fold these things?
