Interesting how we came to more less similar accessories.
What I'm using...:
1) Lens Trekker 600 AW III
2) LensCoat LCP560M4
3) ....
4) Wimberley quick release plate P-50 (and I surely wouldn't recommend any shorter one; I also have to mention that I don't use the battery grip)
5) tripod head - Wimberley WH-200-S Sidemount (gimbal)
monopod head - Kirk MPA-2
6)
I decided not to buy any front lens filter (the lens hood protects the front lens good enough when pushed out)
Concerning the neoprene hood cap - thanks for the tips. Based on your personal experience, is the
Soft Neoprene lens hood cap Size 4 fitting well? I'd probably consider size 3 (looking at the description "13.5 - 14.4cm").
