Still have yet to take this one out...

[Daniel Stone]

Picked up a couple of Pelican 1600 cases off of Craigslist this past week, and found that when laid out, my 5x7 Linhof kit(Technika V) fits PERFECTLY into one w/ all of my lenses and accessories needed to shoot.
Of course, after looking up the cost of the factory-made padded divider kit($120), I decided to spend the time and DIY it. Well, for under $100, I've got enough material to fully spec all three cases to get a perfect fit.
Green foam is in place of a still-to-get lens, a Schneider 350mm APO Tele-Xenar Compact

I used to carry my lenses in a separate case from the camera and film holders, as I shoot primarily from the car. Now a ready-to-go kit is all assembled in a single case. Extra film holders can be placed in a shoulder bag or backpack, if needed. Combined with a folding cart, it's easy to get around, stays organized and well protected.

I love the all-in-one case, much easier than working from a backpack.
I managed to find a case to hold the Toyo 810M and at least four lenses and four film holders: http://www.largeformatphotography.in...ight=toyo+810m
It makes work much easier.

Daniel, I very much like your finished product, can you give me any insight into what you used, where you got it, etc.?
Thanks

Nice do it yourself...

YES, I've tried working from a backpack before, however it never really "worked" for me and my shooting style. I like that I don't have to baby the cases, as they're pretty much bulletproof.

Here's some quick shots of essentially what I did. The coroplast that I used was this one:
http://www.homedepot.com/p/COROSPLAS...3672/202771364

I used 1/2" thick foam from the fabric store, then used spray adhesive to adhere the cut foam(sized about 1/2" smaller on every dimension from each wall's size). I then cut the fleece material to have 1" extra material on every side, so it wraps around each side, with enough material to adhere to the back of the boards.
Setup/sizing/cutting the material is the most time consuming part, gluing it all up takes the least amount of time. TAKING ONE'S TIME with fitting everything is key, if you want a snug fit that is

Sweet! Thanks, Daniel.

Oh, just a note to add:

I used the foam on the sides, and the bottom part of the case. The internal dividers are only comprised of the coroplast board and fleece, all glued together.

Now to let everything properly outgas for a few days by baking in the sun before I load up the case full of the goodies.
