Hi

Just a Q about what people are using? Carrying it around I found the
prism finder digs into me.

I've got mine in an old Tenba bag, but I take the prism off if I'm not actually using it.

I protect the prism with the cover that came with it and the camera with a Hasselblad waist level finder.

I find carrying the TL120 to be awkward. I've dropped my prism
before, so I try to remove it for transport. With the prism removed,
I drop a piece of foam over the exposed screen and toss the camera
in the bottom of my backpack.

Look in the list's photo section on yahoo's web site to see a
picture of a bag Sam found that seems to be a great fit for the camera.

I bought a case at Ritz Camera that couldn't fit any better unless it
was trimmed to the actual camera contours. I use it for transporting
but it would be fine for carrying around. But adding any case to a
large camera is a lot hanging off your shoulder. I could post a
picture and find the model if you are interested.

that Roots bag looks perfect. I'll see about tracking one down.

I have a Kiev 88 so can use the basic fold open viewfinder on it

Mark, you don't mention where you live. If you find a reliable
source for the bag in the US, can you let us know?

It is a Quantaray Pro bag with good padding, a well padded shoulder
strap and a hand carry strap. The upper mesh pocket can hold a flash
and film as well as a front zippered expanding pocket for meter, DOF
calculator(for me), and waist level viewfinder. The lid both velcro
closses and has straps. It came with velcro dividers which are useless
in this application. I believe it was under $35. Pictures posted under
TL120 case and Sampson17112(Sorry my kids gave me that hook years ago
when I actually did appear strong to them).

I'm UK based, Brighton in particular so can't help with US sources.

You're right, it does look like the ideal case for the TL-120. A
perfect fit and a fair price too.
