Angelbird Technologies GmbH announces the release of Media Tank, a new memory card case designed to offer hard-shell protection for up to four memory cards. Media Tank is available for different types of card format: Media Tank SD, Media Tank CFast, and Media Tank CFexpress Type B. Media Tank from Angelbird takes protection and design to new levels—raising the bar on quality for professional memory cards cases. Memory cards are considered necessary gear for photographers and filmmakers, not only for their price value, but also for the content they hold. Angelbird designed Media Tank to be slim and lightweight while also protective and secure inside and out.

The hard-aluminium case features a durability-tested Lock-Solid locking mechanism and double ring loops for pad locks or carabiners. Inside is designed to securely hold up to four SD, CFast, or CFexpress cards. Precision-cut foam inserts with generous finger grooves that maintain just the right amount of tension—balancing easy card access with a firm and secure grip to keep cards in place.

No price mentioned, also those cases look quite big for number of cards they store. PolarPro XQD case which is built from similarly solid materials can store 4xXQD/CFx-B + 4xSD + 4xuSD cards simultaneously while not being much larger than these Angelbird cases. Then for more options at cheaper prices there are JJC cases which work like a charm.

Edit: Their website has listed price of these cases and Angelbird surely has lost their mind. Asking $80 for memory card case is downright stupid when PolarPro cases are nearly half that and JJC(and clones) can be had for fraction of price of these.

Last time I shot film was nearly 2 decades ago, since then even though I have 3 film cameras they are occasionaly used to make sure they are operating as expected. Most of what I shoot these days is DSLR(will replace with FF mirrorless once this camera dies).

I shoot both, it is fun and gives some learning curve also, getting used to each emulsion, I am not worried going around with 2.8 + 1.5 kiloeuro of worth camera + glass daily, I can just keep my old Minolta a7 with some A mount glass that really good and cheap, while my A7m4 is used for planned gigs.

Basically plain simpleton Kodak Gold costs around 15€ per roll now. Portra around 25€ per roll.... Ektrachrome - 35€... That's just radical....
