I like finding new uses for old things, something that Sue doesn't always appreciate as she's surrounded by old things waiting for a new use. Here's one that worked though. A couple of days ago my latest eBay purchase arrived, a Pentax Speedbag 110. This was intended to house the Asahi Pentax Auto 110 film camera and lenses and I thought it might do very well for the Pentax Q-S1 and kit. I already have the Pentax Q soft case that does indeed keep everything together in a very compact package, but it's a bit fiddly. The Speedbag, on the other hand, is secure and offers instant access to the contents. I renovated a full sized Speedbag a few blogs ago (a new measure of time apparently, equal to 2.5 bleems) so was delighted to find the miniature version on offer at £18.50 plus postage. I offered £15, it was accepted, and here it was, in very nice condition. Even the foam lining is intact and showing no signs of going to powder. Not yet anyway.
So, a quick dust down and clean and here's the Pentax Speedbag 110 with my Pentax Q kit installed and it will work just fine.
