My personal EP5 case
1

Hi, this is my new EP5 personal case. Because i'm quite lazy i would buy a good case but there was no product in commerce that complied my specs (minimum size and smart use) so i decided to made it myself. As you can see with my case i can shoot a photo in half a second: there is only one button to unlock the system and there is no need of lens cap. You can mount or remove it in 5 seconds: only one screw.The bag is small, light and rock solid: is one piece of glass and carbon fiber with peel ply hinges; inside there is alcantara covering to protect the camera body and lens. After 6 months of use i can say that the case is very useful and i can carry my jewel everywhere with security. As first prototype is not so beautiful because i didn't care of finish but, because it works fine, i've prepared a mould of the second type. What do you think?

Best regards.

Nat
