jrethorst Posted April 12, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 12, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) The cardboard box it comes in won't last long, and doesn't allow especially quick access. It's too thick for a Canon 72mm plastic filter case, which would otherwise be perfect. What do you use? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you search the forum because I recall a few ingenious solutions concerning containers unique to some countries. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted April 12, 2020 Share #3 Posted April 12, 2020 At a US store selling all manner of containers I found a 2-piece clear plastic case designed to hold a hockey puck. It worked well for my Elpro. Alternatively, if anyone in your household have an old, cheap camera that came with a case, there's a good change the Elpro will fit nicely. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjans Posted April 13, 2020 Share #4 Posted April 13, 2020 Back in 2006 I ordered a leather case for the Elpro from the former "Leicatime" that now is called "Luigicases". Best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guytou Posted April 15, 2020 Share #5 Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Bonjour, j'ai un Elpro E69 pour mon D2. Pour le transporter dans mon sac, j'utilise un étui en plastique que j'ai aménagé. c'est très simple, pratique et protecteur. Voici quelques photos : Welcome, dear visitor!

farnz Posted April 21, 2020 Share #11 Posted April 21, 2020 Luigi Crescenzi - LuigiCases (formerly "Leicatime") used to make a leather pouch specially for the Elpro-D, as shown below. I don't know whether he still makes them but I would think it's worth asking and, who knows, he might have one or two left over that never sold. Pete. Welcome, dear visitor!

Guytou Posted April 21, 2020 Share #12 Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) Salut, J'ai beau chercher sur son site mais je ne vois plus ces étuis pour Elpro E69. Je pense qu'il faut peut-être lui poser directement la question. Guytou Edited April 21, 2020 by Guytou Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very near the bottom of this page following a large photo of a Leica screw mount camera that is surrounded by colourful leather 120 film carriers and before a picture of an array of leather pouches.

jrethorst Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share #14 Posted April 21, 2020 Thank you, Pete. Luigi's case is a work of art, as are his other creations. It's curious, and I don't know whether it's important, that to close the case you push down on the snap, which pushes the top of the case against the glass. The case is lined, of course, as Luigi describes, so it's smooth leather pushing against the glass, but still . . . Does anyone use one of these?

farnz Posted April 21, 2020 Share #15 Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) Hi John, I had the same concern so I simply stuck a self-adhesive fluffy felt 'dot' on the inside of the case to cover where the stud might press on the Elpro-D and that has given me peace of mind and no marks on the glass.
