This could be Leica's answer to weatherproofing the M10.

Wow- that is rare.

Nikon's selection of cases is amazing. Cases for almost every accessory, every occasion.

Rotoloni's going to have to do a new edition of his book!

I believe they're now called "blimps." Companies still make them for dSLRs for use on movie sets, etc., e.g., http://bit.ly/gK2YNU

memphis photo has the old yellow sound muffler for the F's equipped with motor drive -- it's a weird concoction - it looks like a hazmat suit for a camera -- or a big yellow hand puppet --- never seen one of those before -- it was told to me that in theaters, recording studios, and other events that required a level of quiet, this was used to muffle the sound

they have it for sale (901) 767-2702

Don't forget that Hasselblad made a blimp for the EL camera in the 60's and 70's.

Wow, I have a reason to live for - to find another one :-)

An old photobud was a still photographer and worked on film sets in the 60's, 70's and 80's. He had blimps for his motorized Canon A-1's.
They looked like the old style cases for electric shavers on steroids.
