I love my Pelican cases. I wouldn't think of keeping my cameras in
anything less secure. I have a 1550 and a 1520, both of which I've
carried on to planes without a problem. The 1550 is quite a bit wider
and only slightly shorter than the 1510, so it probably holds a bit
more equipment. However, those wheels and that handle would be nice. I
pack two *ist D bodies, thirteen lenses, four hoods, seven filters, a
hand-held meter, lens cleaning equipment, and spare batteries in mine.
That's with the dividers. I had the foam previously, but I couldn't get
as much in the case and the foam eventually started coming apart. (It
was that pick and pluck stuff.) I'm happier with the dividers. I
rearranged them to suit my needs and tucked in a few pieces of foam
where I needed more support. As it now sits, everything is well
protected and well secured. I've banged it around a bit and once had it
fall off the back of a truck. Nothing has ever been damaged. And it's
airtight, so no dust or moisture can enter. I use the 1520 for medium
format. It holds one 6x7 body and four lenses with hoods.

I am VERY interested in the Peli 1510 roller-job:

Any comments from Peli users?
Thanks.
