The "Ever-Ready" Case
#1

Does anyone remember the "Ever-ready case" for SLRs? It was a case that just housed the camera but you could open to take photos with the case still protecting the camera. Does anyone know if such cases can be purchased somewhere adapted for digital SLRs or Ultrazooms? It may be a crazy question but I's like to know.

There seem to be quite a few products with the "ever ready" name, but they look like nothing more than ordinary camera carriers that you still have to take the camera out of to shoot.

I think what you are talking about is something like this:

where you can just pop off the lens cover and the camera remains protected in the bag.

Other than that one, I haven't seen them.

That's it all right. That one is for a Leica film range finder camera.

If they don't do them, they sure should. My old Nikon FG has one but I get the feeling that these things seem to be tailored to the specific camera...and I wonder if present manufacturers are purposefully designing throwaway obsolescence into their products, so that such things as cases to assist longevity are considered superfluous?
