Having saved the pennies and taken the prime plunge (500 f4 IS) plus a 30D body, I'd be grateful for any tips from existing 500 f4 users. My trusty 20D/ 100-400 IS combo has served me in good stead and I will certainly still be using this 'on the move' and I've got so used to being ready to shoot at a moments notice. The 500 lens case would put many a toolbox to shame, pretty impressive but for me an ideal practical transportation solution (home to wherever and return and then 'short haul') would be a bag to enable the camera / lens to be transported attached. I've always been conscious about dust and restricting lens removal to the absolute minimum but is there a greater hazard transporting the camera with lens attached due to the weight and stresses to the fittings?
What do other 500mm users do - I'd be grateful for any practical tips (bags used or simply advice from the benefit of experience etc) from users of this lens.
