Default How to make any bag a true stealth camera bag!

Came across this interesting website on how to 'make your own camera bag'.
I got a feeling CSers will start a new trend on this soon...

actually not difficult to do if you are handy with a sewing machine. just need to get hold of the foam and a cheap raincoat (like those from $1 or $2 shops). or you can use cloth which is easier to sew than raincoat.
