I long for the day when I can pay somebody to clean my house, drive my limo, do my books, answer my phone, and oh yeah set up equipment...
I was meant to be rich.

So this week, I got A wedding shoot, a video shoot for a national magazine, and a project to do portraits and video as a fundraiser for a local charity.... then a multimedia display for a local library halloween haunt....
feast or famine in this biz.... what was I thinking...I'll be shooting for nine days straight and editing 1500-2000 images, and 10-15 hours of video footage, on tight deadlines
if I get all these jobs done by the end of the month, I'm buying a bottle of scotch and plan to be snap faced drunk on the first of nov.
still better than famine....

Having purchased whelmed's Paragon 500mm we find we want to take it out & about with us but at c. 16" long it won't fit in our backpack with our other 'must carrys'.
Looking for a cheap way to protect and carry it, we hoped to see some old cases on e-bay but nothing suitable has appeared. The best we can come up with is to get a cheap tripod case with shoulder strap (c. £10) and pack it out with foam or bubble wrap.
So, before we go that way just wondered if anyone had an old case with strap lying around that would hold a lens 46 cm long by 8 cm diameter, that they were willing to part with for a nominal sum + P&P.
Or any other ideas?

I like 4,6,&7.
the title of this thread made me laugh.
It reminds me of when I was a teen.... My Grandmother once asked me "If all your friends jumped off a cliff would you have to jump too?"
To which I answered "Gramma, that was last weekend, and they all jumped 'cause they were following me!"

well if you're gonna put it on a canon, why not wreck the lens?There are adapters out there for Pentax lenses to Canon camera, and to Olympus too. No need to wreck the lens to get it to fit.

given what you've been using, I'd think you could look at the kr and take the money you save and buy a 100mm macro.... you'd give up weather sealing but still get a big performance boost... you are also gonna need some new memory cards and a card reader. the istd uses cf, no? you need sd cards....

screw mounts require an adapter.
most older lenses fit but may have limitations on how they work.
the ones you definitely DON'T want to use are old Ricoh k-mount lenses, they have this little pin that tends to jamb itself into the af screw slot.... making it real hard to get the lens off the body.... it goes on easy, but does not come off.
