My Orthopedist & Physical Therapist tell me I can probably be on skis byJanuary :-) so I'm comtemplating taking my 8x10 kit along in a Lowe AWII pack. It stikes me as if a gg protector might be good insurance. Should I make my own or buy one? It seems like it wouldn't be hard or expensive to make one out of baltic birch ply and/ or plexiglas and as soon as I feel up to operating power tools I may do just that. I was wonder what the concensus is among the experts as far as general design and what makes for a good gg protector?
I figure on duplicating the locking ridge on my film holder to keep the ggp in place, with some material rigid enough to prevent bowing and thus stressing the gg in cas of a fall. I'll want to protect both sides of my gg since a 19" Artar will be aboard, riding along in the camera's innards with the lensboard reversed.
I'd be grateful for any ideas, suggestions etc...
Cheers!
