whats ever 1 using?

i have got a Nikon d40x with an sb800 flash

about to get a new lens its going 2 be a 18-200mm vr

i am real happy with my gear and am taking some ok photos. But it cost so much 2 take it 2 the new level tho!

Canon 10D & Grip
50mm F1.8
70-200mm L F2.8 IS
Ex580 II

Looking at either the 17-40mm L or a wide sigma

Canon 350D
10-22 wide angle very cool
24-105 Zoom, phat lens good all round
B+W ND110 Neutral Density Filter
50mm 1.4 Focus ring is broken though =(
Also got a macro that i'm trying to sell just dont use it...

How do you guys take yours up the mountain?
Like if you bail, how do you keep you lens safe?
Also what about moisture when you go from the cold snow to a warm house?

i have got a camera bag that got some good padding
but i have not bailed big yet when riding hard with my gear.

also looking at getting a new lens the two are
the new fish eye Nikon lens
or the 10-20mm Sigma
just got to make my mind up on witch one I want

The wide angles are seriously cool, they put such a crazy perspective on the photos..
