Honest. > > ted > Ted I thought the problem with a case other than turning any camera into a hopeless clunker is that it keeps the camera in all too pristine condition and therefore appears dilettantish? My Dad used a Contarex Bulleye for ten years all over the world always with a case. (taking it off to take a picture) At the end there was not a ding or blemish on the camera it was like right off the shelf. I did more damage to the finish of the camera in 4 months than he did in ten years. But i could not get any accuracy out of the metering as he did. Maybe the meter needed the case.
