For Sale FS: Nanuk 945 Hard Case (Canada Only)

[Ari]

Here is a handsome fellow that needs a new home; I will be replacing it with a rolling case for an upcoming trip.


This is a very tough and solid case, though it is quite the featherweight.


Waterproof, four strong latches and original foam padding.


Here are some specs: http://www.henrys.com/59097-NANUK-945-1001-CASE-BLACK-W-FOAM.aspx


I have been using it for a Toyo 810M, four mounted lenses, accessories, and, on occasion, some extra film holders; it holds all of that very well.


Foam and dividers are available from most retailers if you want to go that route; this would also make an excellent storage case, just add a desiccant.




It has exterior scratches, but it is very clean inside and out. If you look closely from a certain angle, you will see a Montreal Canadiens logo carved into the lid; it's not a deep carving, but it's there (sorry, Leaf fans).


I bought this new just six months ago, and would love to keep it, but finances are what they are.


Limited to Canada because of shipping size.


Asking $175 including shipping to Canada; yes, that's in Canadian dollars.


Thank you

In response to a question about how these compare to Pelican cases:
These are lighter than Pelicans of comparable size; my Pelican 1510 weighs about 7kg, this case, larger and deeper, weighs 2,5 kg less.
I could stand on the Nanuk and not worry about it, and I really like the latches: also lightweight, very tough, and quick and easy to close securely.
Like the Peli, it has an automatic pressure valve, and I find the Nanuk handle slightly better-built and a tad more robust.
The Nanuk is waterproof and crush-proof.
Overall, despite its size, and the heavy stuff I put in it, it's a very comfortable case to carry around.
