Hi Judy Anne,

I meant to include that in the blog post and I forgot. We both use a Pelican case, model # 1510. It is the hard case that fits in the airplane overhead compartments. And we each have a small backpack for shorter outings.

Hi SAMV,

Well to be honest, I don't use it all that much. I should use it more but it never gets out of my bag that often. Laura and I share it. The camera body was mine and I got it converted and Laura bought the two lenses that we use with it. I'll have to find a couple of pics to share. They are really cool!
