My father came back from WWII with one of those bags.  It had a gas mask in it.  .....  When I was older, I removed the mask and used it to carry my first film SLR in the mid 70’s.  A Nikkormat FTN.  I still have this bag in a storage room...in a box.  I miss my father.   Thank you for this image.

There used to be "Army-Navy Stores" everywhere that sold cheap but solid stuff for citywear, camping gear and all the rest, with the core goods being actual war surplus from WWII and Korea.  I could dress from them up until about 1980.  They are gone now.  The army goods ran out and REI, EMS, Patagonia, mail sales and the rest upscaled folks like me...  But you should proudly continue to use the bag.  With my M2, I could carry three lenses, a dozen film cans, and stuff.  No scratches as the main bag is lined and there are two or three little pockets inside.  Some dust.

(Not a question posed to you in particular, rrdiaz30) but my mind wanders strange pathways sometimes: why was it called a "gas mask" rather than an "anti-gas mask" I wonder?

The former name suggests an opposite and devastating purpose.😮

In a panic I guess "Don't forget your anti-gas mask Johnny" dosn't roll off the tongue!😊

Please explain why in case of just qualifying it as BS.

Why don't you explain why you think the insertion of a thin sheet of plastic between a tripod and camera - which are bolted together and mechanically once piece, will do ANYTHING?

Sharing the Canon 28 mm view finder on my M3, good for the Elmarit 28 lens I used then now always on my M10
