I had in 1997 Pelicase 1550 purchased and in a few years my extensive Fotoasurüstung (Nikon F4, various lenses, etc.) stored / transported. Then, when in the early 2000s the transition to digital photography came and I have sold my analog equipment, came the separation from my beloved Pelicase. Oh no! Now I have rumgeplagt over 10 years with various bags and backpacks, and for a few days (ie about 14 years later) I am back in the possession of a Pelicase 1550. What can I say? This case is and remains the measure of all things. Of course, I take a bike / hike my backpack, but for long-term storage and transportation of the equipment to shoot there in my opinion is nothing better on the market. On the whole, my pre-reviewer has already said it all. The build quality is simply sensational, yet the case is still located in a "portable" weight range. Conclusion: if you quality (Photo) want (100% waterproof!) Convey absolutely secure and protected equipment, all roads lead to Peli past. Of course the PELICASE is not a low-budget product, but quite clearly applies: Who buys cheap, buys 2x - and the second time then certainly a PELI. A big advantage is that you can always buy more, the foam internals and then adjust the suitcase on a possible modification of the equipment.
