Hi Everyone
I have just added a Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 USM (non IS) MkII to my photo gear, which came with a nice Canon "vanity" Case.
Nice for storing in the house but what do you suggest for taking the beast out and about. I have in mind a Think Tank (I love their cases) Streetwalker Pro V2 but I am not sure how practical it is with this lens so wondered if there were any alternatives out there.

In anticipation many thanks

Hi have a 300 f2.8 so know your problem these lenses are big and heavy. I use the Tamrac Expedition 9. Obviously it depends to some degree on what you will be doing. In my case I needed something I could use in rough ground conditions (even a field can be difficult for any wheeled unit) so a backpack/rucksack type is best for me. Obviously you will not only have just a lens so you need space for your other gear. Having a backpack is the best if you are carrying your gear as it distributes the load over both shoulders.
