Subject: [rollei_list] Rollei filter case foam


In the clear plastic clamshell type filter cases there is orange foam about 2mm thick which deteriorates over time. Does anyone know of a source for a
reasonable facsimile to replace it?



I much prefer these cases to the leather ones because you can instantly see
the filter type without opening it.

This sort of foam is very widely used and is a PITA because it eventually turns to sticky mush. For the filter case I think you would do better to replace it with soft sheet polystyrene foam. That seems to last forever and has enough padding to protect the object in the case. I think you can get the stuff as packaging material at stationery stores.
