I found it perfect to carry an M6, 35 and 50 Summi/2 lenses, neck strap and the hood that fits them both around the world. The foam pad sheets fit tightly enough that there is no movement of the contents. The case cost twenty bucks and is air/water tight. In fact, if you open it on a plane you will need to open the presure release valve on the ground because the seal is airtight. The case is drilled for a pair of padlocks which I used with a chain in some fleabag hotels. Actually, I used it in all hotels and they were all "bargains". While I didn't try it, I think it would take longer for a thief to cut into the heavyweight plastic of the Pelican than to cut into an aluminum case. The case was so secure I used it to guard cash and traveler's checks when I was out and about with the Leica. Bill Lawlor
