Q Accessories - Cases

When using a camera, one of the most important things to me is how it fits in with everything else in terms of operation, storage, access, etc. Workflow might sum it up.

With the Q I've been trying to find the right case - it's compact, but not quite a compact, so to make it pocketable it needs the right sort of non-bulky protection.

I have found one very promising case - the Pentax Large Neoprene Case for Q. It just fits the camera plus standard zoom nicely, gives a bit of padded protection against knocks, but still slips into a jacket pocket. There is also a Small Neoprene Case and I presume that will fit camera and standard lens. Both are available from Amazon at around £15 - £17.50.

I also have on the way a two piece leather ERC from China, so we'll see how that does the job sometime soon.
Best regards, John

I've just received a supposed large version of this case from Amazon but it seems too small for the Q + 02 combination. The Q + 01 is a perfect fit. It's sized 12w x 7d x 6.5h (cm) . The wrapper was labelled large but I'm wondering if I've actually been sent the small version.

If anyone can put me wise I'll be most grateful.

You have the small one Steve. The Large version is 10.5cm deep.

I am still trying to find a good bag, which will fit the Q plus all my lens, but with individual pockets and possible enough space for some other basic travel stuff like a small notepad...

the search still continue...

was just coming on here to ask about cases for the Q and seen this thread.

I too am after a case, this is the one I'm looking at. Is it the same?

No, that's a totally different case.

Nope, it seems the case is still pending.

Was doing a Google search for a SMALL holster case for the K-30/18-135 and where do I find myself, but back here in this thread!

However, in the process I came across this case.

Looks to be about the right size, very cheap and so I've ordered one to see how it does.
K-3 II, K-3 and a K-70 from SRS (having now relegated the K-30 /"K-50" to a backup body), & some Sigma and Pentax lenses (and a lot of old 35mm gear!)
