Pelican Cases

Anyone use these? Seems kinda neat how you can pull out the foam to create your layout. I use a backpack for storage, but I like the pelican. Here's a link:

Pelican Products 1500 Case

I think this would be great for my primes.

Hey Rick.
We use them at work to ship our products. They're almost indestructable and they're waterproof too. If I ever thought I'd get enough gear to fill one I'll buy my own.

These cases are great, you'll love it. But don't buy the foam version and instead only consider the adjustable velcro cases. Everyone I know with one has warned me about this. The adjustable version will grow and change with your gear and in the end tend to be far more useful than the foam versions.

Back in the dark ages when I shot with a Mamiya 645 FILM camera I used a HALLIBURTON They were expensive but if you have a fortune invested in your equipment and you rely on it for a living it is worth it.

Thanks for the comments. I'll check into those Dave. One thing I like about them is having the lenses sitting in a position facing me so I can read the writing on the barrel. With my backpack (which I never carry anywhere) I'm always pulling out lenses not sure which is which.

I agree with Dave. Use the Velcro version. I bought mine from Amazon over a year ago and there is nothing bad that I can say when I take it to events since I can leave it on my table and place a lock on it. When I get tired, I use it as a chair.

Here is an old picture
