Lenses / Re: *UPDATE* Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L II Pushed Back to October?

« on: August 30, 2012, 05:20:53 AM »

”Hopefully” it is only Canon Sweden that has the delay (see http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=9011.msg162594). When the new Canon 500 and 600mm lenses started to arrive, shops in Denmark hade them in stock before Canon Sweden started to ship them to shops in Sweden.

In performance the Lexar win over the Sandisk, http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/camera_wb_multi_page.asp?cid=6007-12452 if your camera can handle that kind of speed. In reliability I do not know...

I have the Lowepro Flipside 400 AW, http://products.lowepro.com/product/Flipside-400%20AW,2116.htm, that will fit your equipment. Due to its flipside design (that works great), it have you equipment protected against pickpockets’ and you do not need to lay the backpack down on the ground. Or if you put it on the ground the straps won’t be dirty. Also, if you carry I tripod you can easily open the backpack without removing the tripod first. The backpack is comfortable to carry, even with a heavy load.

I also prefer an updated 16-35/2.8 instead of the 14-24. And please keep the 82mm filter size!

Maybe a LowePro Dryzone 200, http://products.lowepro.com/product/DryZone-200,1935,18.htm. I had the smaller 100 version on my trip to the Antarctica, it worked great.
