Customer Review: Looks Nice But Not Solid Aluminum
Summary: 3 Stars
I was initially rather pleased with this case. It looks very nice and appears to be somewhat sturdy. The interior of the case can be sectioned with velcro dividers. It has ample room for an SLR camera with battery grip and medium zoom lens attached as well holding a long telephoto, a fat wide-angle lens, a small prime lens, a teleconverter, a small flash unit, various filters, a remote shutter release, a camera strap, an extra rubber lens hood and perhaps enough room left over for a few rolls of film and some batteries. The lid fits well and the latches works smoothly and can be locked. The case is relatively light and includes a nylon shoulder strap.
I downgraded my initial rating of this case, however, after discovering that the aluminum exterior is actually little more than thick textured aluminum foil glued to moderately thin (wood? plastic?) panels. The workmanship of this AS-AM medium attache style case is good (and definitely superior to that of the extra-large Hakuba AS-LL trunk which had severe buckling issues with the aluminum cladding) but it remains to be seen how durable this type of construction - aluminum glued to light panels - will be in the end. I've already noticed areas where the textured foil has been flattened/dented just from placing a camera on the lid with a hand strap mounting screw attached to the bottom of the camera.
