A Possible Pelican Case For the 16x20 Chamonix

Here is another possible ULF case, a bit smaller than the previous cases. It is a Pelican 1690NF. Hugo from Chamonix uses one for his 16x20. I like the fact I can get free shipping on it from B&H, that it has wheels (very handy), one big handle instead of 2 side handles and that it is a Pelican. I do not think I can get all my 16x20 gear in it thou, the other earlier blogged bag which measured an inside depth of 18 inches versus 15 inches might have allowed for that.
