I can answer my own question. It fits the X100F, GFX50S with 110mm or 250mm (only measured that up so far), batteries, cleaning stuff, SD cards, and sundry small items. Not much spare room but everything fits snugly. Weight 6 kilos and case feel solid enough for purpose. Of course the batteries and other stuff could be carried in jacket pockets. Then I could carry a Godox AD200 - but having the case with velcro dividers, one can adjust quickly and easily. My first Peli case.

Thanks for the photo and description, Him. This new light(er) weight Air range looks very interesting. I have one of the earlier style Peli cases - the Peli 1450 - which is smaller than the Air 1485 but over 1kg heavier. It's a brilliant case, which I used to use when I went camping. I remember waking one night during heavy rain to find the Peli literally floating on a flooded campsite, but it remained completely dry inside. It's saved my gear on a few other occasions as well, and it's also great for carrying gear in the boot of the car on bumpy country roads. It IS heavy, though. It would be nice to have something equally strong but lighter, like the Air 1485. And it looks as though they've improved the divider set as well.

So, as I say, thanks for the post. You might have lured me into spending more money!

I intend buying the 250mm + 1.4 converter. Selling the 32-64mm. I hope the Peli last. Bag buyers(!) indeed it is a wee bit addictive.

The one thing I have to still get used to is that the closing latches make such a noise! They seem really loud to me, make me wonder how long they will last!

Yes, loud and not good if you've sprained your thumbs! But pretty bomb-proof, I think. Still good on my old Peli, which has had some fairly rough treatment. (I'm still trying to decide whether to buy the new Air model...)

I don't know about the previous models but the Air models seem to be solid and the yellow padding and velcro is supplied in enough quantity to make up a myriad of positions. It won't hold a full GFX set, but I never travel with my whole set. I will take the GFX and 63mm + 100F to the London-Brighton Veteran car run in November. I am booked on one of the open-deck buses following the cars down. I may be able to get away with my Hadley Pro bag for that. The next trip after that to Bergen will definitely have the Peli in action.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      The backslashes you are referring are just symbols denoting path.  Once you import into these LUTS into Davinci Resolve those backslashes are removed by default and you only see is the true file name which has no backslashes.  Convince yourself of this by opening the LUT folder from the Davinci Resolve Project Settings.  Do you see any backslashes in those LUT names? Of course not.  The only name you see is the one that has the underscores and the periods. These LUTS work as designed without having to change any path names.  However, they need to be set up properly through CSTs and by what is supported in Davinci Resolve.  Hence, the FLog2C film simulation LUTS cannot be used because Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut color space and the FLog2C gamut. Alternatively, Davinci Resolve does support Flog2 film simulation LUTS because the color space for FLog2 is Rec 2020 and there is an FLog2 gamut. If all you are doing is changing the path names then you are not getting the correct results.

      I found the reddit topic i refere to :  https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/1pc3f1e/cant_apply_new_fujifilm_gfx_55_lut/ "Update for y'all, It's just like what @ExpBalSat said, it's because of the backslashes in the names break them. I changed the file name and it works now. "   For me it was the solution. Realy annoying if it doesn’t work for you 😕

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!
