Kit Compared to a Lowe-Pro both the padding and I hate to say it but the
styling suffer greatly in the comparison.
I think of Tamracs as cut rate Lowe-Pros like say from Kmart!
Before you get another Tamrac check out Lowepro.

That's where I put my Leica M6 OR my EOS-1 digital!
If I could ever figure out which one to use!!
