[QUOTE="Silver, post: 163335, member: 14167"] when i read bwana's experience it was just as i was going out for a the first shoot with a new D800 (insurance this time). And it occurred to me that it might be good preventative medicine to transport-- even in a good backpack or whatever-- the body WITHOUT any lens, ESPECIALLY A TELE, and put the body cap on. That way there are no forces on the bayonet with a drop, because I realized that even tho I had just put the D800, with Sigma 150-500, in the a new Lowerpo Prorunner 450 AW, if I fell, like bwana did, the bayo and lens COULD STILL BREAK! If physics were right, I have no doubt. So from now on, its in the slot for the long lens, but with BODY CAP ON with a barrier between it and the lens. BTW, the Sigma folks did a good job of fixing the lens. Fast service, fairly reasonable ($280+$20 ship), courteous (thanks to spell check) on the phone & email. [/QUOTE]
