I am thinking about getting the f200 2.0 and was wondering what kind of case you guys keep it in when you shoot. I am going to be using the lens for weddings so I am thinking a peli 1510 maybe if it will fit.
my gear will be made up of
D700
50 1.4 G
85 1.4
35 f2
Sb-900 Flash
two extra Batteries
hoods for all lenses
Sooooooooo
post any pics of how you store or tell me what bag or case you use to transport your Nikon f200 f2.0
P.S. Feel free to post any pics from that bad boy too! I am talking to you Trench Monkey!!!
Hey Tobin! I use this one, http://www.adorama.com/TBLL3002.html
great protection with hood in shooting position. Front pocket will hold a BushHawk if you
ever go down that road. Loosen the tripod ring and it's a snap to go from landscape to portrait.
To transport the 1510 and Kinesis gear products are a great option, very durable. We have the 1510's and others in our studios and have been very happy with them. On location the quickest option for the lens has been Kirk's SS1.
Thanks guys! I like the idea of getting the 1510 and the one Trench Monkey uses.
Anyone got a pic of the f200 in a Pelican 1510??
Trench Monkey, amazing shots as always. Is that the lens that got you to start up with Nikon? I remember a couple of years ago you and I were both only canon.
Sorry to hijack your thread Tobin (i'll start a new one if you like)
TM - I'm using the D300 with grip, 1.7TC and 300/2.8. Currently using the Nikon bag that the 300 came in that you can extend but the combo above only just fits with the top extended WITHOUT the lens hood on and my SB800 is precariously jammed in one of the net pockets on the side.
Would the Tenba bag accomodate the d300/TC/lens combo WITH the lens hood on comfortably or do you think I'd be better to go one up to the 400 bag ?
The dimension of the above combo WITH the hood on is approx. 50 cm !

No Problem Andy! Its all good. Trench Monkey is one of the most helpful guys on FM.
how is the 300 2.8

Thanks mate. The 300 2.8 ? Very sharp, very fast, very heavy (compared to the 300 f4 for hand held use).
I use it for birds and would go longer if I could afford to. I can't and this is the next best.
Consequently I don't use it without the 1.7TC so I'd be raving about it even more if I did I reckon.
