DSC_5952-Fly Leaf YKK Lens Bags-0001-2015-06-23T18_57_24.jpg

Three "Fly Leaf" YKK padded lens cases / bags. Much better than the cloth bags Nikon provides - Tamron gives you nadda. Bought all three for $23 CDN (free shipping). Shipping took one day shy of a full month (order 24 May, arrived 23 June). When I bought my 24-70mm I bought a padded case in the Camera Store - can't recall exact price but I paid more for that one than all three of these (but I'd say it is better quality). These are acceptable quality. No idea if they will stand up to the regular use but for now a big upgrade over the thin Nikon bags and an upgrade over the Neoprene bags I have been using. Those bags are cheaper and available readily on ebay for even less. They would offer more protection than the Nikon bag but less than the ones I just bought.

The #15 bag (largest) fits the Tamron 70-300 perfectly. The #13 bag holds my Nikkor 105 macro - fits nicely. And the small #9 bag holds my Lensbaby Fisheye just dandy.
Might get one more for my Nikkor 60mm macro too. Needs to be shorter than the #13 but same diameter. The #15's diameter is not wide enough for the 24-70mm (82mm lens vs 62mm).

Got tired of wating for the Sigma 120-300 to be in stock somewhere reputable for more than 5 minutes. Stumbled onto this at Adorama on their used section. This thing is nearly mint!IMG_20150702_221755.jpg

While not being a fan of protective filters, I finally started buying some.

Two B+W 77mm XS-Pro MRC nano:

They cost a little but some of my lenses are too expensive to take any risk.

I just had to take care of the itch I had in regards to getting a long reach lenses without spending big $$$. After looking at the differences between the P610 and the P600 I went with the P600. Only difference between them was the P600 does not have GPS or time lapse.

Got a couple of circular polarizing filters, just because I've heard it helps with chrome, and water, and such... and I *AM* heading to Florida again soon, so perhaps they'll help with beach shots when I'm not using the ND filters. :)

You have to really stretch to make this photo related - but I suppose it will allow me to process photo's in the trailer while camping. (which i suppose I would still be able to do if I had a full laptop battery but lets just stretch our thinking for a moment.

Did a lot of google-research trying to get the best generator for my RV - settled on the Yamaha 2800i - a touch louder than the enclosed version (68 db vs 61db) but nothing like the construction grade one it sort of resembles. Looking into building a box for it in the back of the truck which would muffle the sound a little more.

DSC_4697-kenko mounted-0001-2015-07-07T21_26_47.jpgDSC_8971-Kenko flora macro 105-0003-2015-07-07T22_00_38.jpg

Paid on 20 June - picked it up today 7 July - so less than three weeks to get over the mountains from BC to Alberta. Gotta love Canada Post. Was a little worried as the vendor apparently must be a Green Party supporter and wanted to save trees using the minimal amount of packaging for shipment. But they were just fine - tried them out. Need to work on my technique and it was getting a little dark by the time I was able to get outside and try my hand a Kenko Extended Macro shots - more to be posted in "Post your Macro's" and the Insect threat.
