camera protection

[Jerome]

The protection sounds good. I'd comment on the access:

After trying several different arrangements I now use the Touratech enduro tank bag with two bodies in it; one with a 80-200 and the other a 17-25. They're sitting in foam cut to size.

For more serious stuff, national parks etc, I get the 300, 2X, tripod and binoculars couriered to me (in a Pelican case) and ship them back afterwards.

The advantages of this are:
- They are (relatively) quick to get out as that shot is never there for very long. If the camera is in a case it'll take too long to get out.
- I found I lost a lot of shots changing lenses.
- If the first choice runs out of film at least you can get something with the other before the shot goes (or reload).
- I don't have the weight of the 300 etc when I don't use it very often.

If you haven't used it a lot I suggest you get some films developed on the road so you can learn what works and what doesn't and to check the camera's ok.
