I just ordered one with the split strap today.  Hope to have it by the end of the week.  Will mostly be for 7d/100-400 lens combo.  I'll post pros/cons after I've had it for a bit.

Lens Rentals has a good selection of used right now.  I've been looking at one or two also.

Software & Accessories / Re: Lee Filter Setup

« on: July 27, 2012, 05:08:31 PM »

I spent a long time looking and finally settled on the Lee filters, as already mentioned, availability is scarce.  Got the WA adapter, Kit and ND Soft grad kit back in march and last week my Big Stopper that I ordered at the same time finally shipped.   I went through 2filter.com and had a great experience, Andrea in their sales department is always quick in responding to questions. I'm shooting waterfalls this weekend so I can't wait to see the results.

Good review and nice to see regular users involved but most of the images are broken as of 7:15AM CST.

Software & Accessories / Re: Using a computer tablet to view images in the field?

« on: July 02, 2012, 09:05:50 AM »

I picked up an HP Slate tablet (don't laugh it was cheap) because I can run windows 7 on it.  I hook my 7D up directly via USB and view images, plus the tablet has decent battery life and is small enough to fit into the outer sleeve of my camera bag.  I use InfranView because it's fast to load and free plus with the plugin I can view raw images directly.
