Best bag or case for Nizo 561m

Post by merman »

Hi

I have a Nizo 561 macro which I keep in the light leather case it came in. I'm looking for a more rugged bag for it - something like a foam padded camera bag - but having some trouble finding one as it's an odd shape compared to modern cameras.

The 561 is a popular super-8 camera, and I guess it's a problem some of you will have solved, so I wondered if anyone had any particular recommendations?

Cheers - Tom

This is what I'm using for my Nizo 561 or my Beaulieu 4008.
I can actually fit an additional smaller(ie Canon 310XL) super 8 also.
I can usually stuff in around 5 or 6 carts and other accessories as well.

Thanks - it looks a much better size and shape than the bags in my local camera shop. Does the 561 sit fairly snug inside, well padded? If you have a digital camera handy and it's not a nuisance, perhaps you could post a photo of the camera in the bag, to give an idea of how it sits?
