hahas, this is just based on what the thread started currently has. Yah of coz get a 40 or even 60 ltr if you're intending to get more lenses. esp large ones like the 300mm f2.8. =P

Got a 30L Digi-cabi recently for my D70 and was JUUUUSSSSST enough. Inside there is:

- D70 body
- 4 lenses (yes...all Nikons) - largest being a 180mm
- 5 filters (yes, they need the dry box too)
- 1 DR6-right angle finder
- 2 portable hard drives

...and just nice & comfy . I think if I were to get 2 more lenses (not so soon lah) then it may be a bit squeezy. So, I reckon a 30L would be fine to use as a benchmark.

Don't forget, once you have a dry cabi, you may want to 'tumpang' other things also, like Wedding Videos, LOTR DVD collections etc...So if that is the case perhaps 50L etc...?

Hope it helps.

Also...was wondering if I should put my flash in as well?

Cheers

Check the B&S forums first. You may find suitable second hand DryCab there.

Yah, can't agree more with those whose suggest to buy larger capacity ones.
Always buy bigger than what you need cos you can never imagine how fast your camera stuff is gonna grow unless you are those lost interest in things very rapidly.

That said, can always use dry cabinet for other stuff as well.

I am using a Am-Pro by the way, having it for 6 yrs now, still working great!
Can give it some consideration as well.
