K10D Fitted Cases?

YellowSpider · 03-04-2009, 05:38 PM

I have a K10D with a few small lenses and I'm looking for a fitted case that will fit around the body with one lens on. I have a camera bag that works great and i use that during scheduled shoots, but for every day i just have my camera wrapped in a wash cloth and in my purse, with my lenses in cases. I like to have my camera on me at all times, but carrying a camera bag + my huge purse filled with various items gets a bit cumbersome. I'm wondering if there is something that would just add a little cushion around the camera body and allow me to have it in my purse without being too bulky. I've seen the armor type stuff, and i don't want that. And I've seen the Pentax O-CC55 but I can't find any photos of a camera actually IN that case, so I can't tell how big it actually is.

Any help would be great. I'm about to try and sew something myself.

Here's some good options...

Pentax SLR Holster Case (Black)| B&H Photo Video - I used to have this one. It was bigger than I wanted.
Op/Tech Soft Pouch Case for DSLR w/o Grip - I have this one. K20D + Tam17-50 fits like a glove
Op/Tech Soft Pouch Case for DLSR w/ Grip - I wish I'd bought this one because I always have the grip attached.
Op/Tech Soft Pouch Case for DSLR w/ Zoom - Same as above, just longer lens boot.

Awesome, I've been looking at the op/tech. I'll probably end up going with that, since you seem happy with it. Unless someone else has discovered something better.

Thanks for the response!

Lenscoat body pouch. velcro closure, but similar to optech. This is how I carry my K-m plus 1 pankake ltd everyday.

Pouches - LensCoat

Also look at Zing body covers.
