WASHBC Do you think you will need the seal around the inside edge of the case?  Just a thought.

I would think the case is going to diffuse the flash and decrease the range.  I would test the camera in the case and out to see if the flash is as good in the case.  Also, I have a feeling the focus assist will light up the whole case. But if you have tested it, I guess it must work.

We think only people from WA read or know about this site. The internet is global. I am careful what I type on here because of that.

Camera prices have gone up about 35-40% since Jan end of Dec.

Pretty amazing.

For the camera shelf in the box, I just used some scrap steel and bent it. Then I used rivets to attach it.
