You don't say where you're travelling, but don't forget really *really* good insurance. A friend of mine (Tony Sleep, who runs the filmscanner mailing list) knows a pro photographer who has lost *every* piece of photo equipment - mostly lighting kit - packed as hold baggage on each of *three separate* flights out of LHR. This despite locked metal flight cases. Total cost so far is > $15,000. Of course it disappeared on outgoing flights en route to jobs, making the loss far more expensive than just the equipment cost. It's a bloody nightmare. - -- David Morton dmorton@journalist.co.uk "The more opinions you have, the less you see." -- Wim Wenders.
