But it is just a question of volume and weight - as of now I carry 2 D300 bodies with 17-55, 70-200, 200-400, Leica R 100mm Macro (with Leitax adaptation), 1.4x & 1.7x teleconverters, a couple of extension tubes, misc sundry items, a laptop and a Nikon Binoculars in hand baggage when I go to shoot wildlife - luckily Nikon's bag for the 200-400 is very good and comfortable to carry, and the rest goes into a Lowepro Rolling CompuTrekker. I am now in the process of selling one of the D300 bodies with some of the DX lenses in order to go full frame, in which case I will probably need a 600mm lens. How am I supposed to accommodate all this as carry on baggage? The very thought of carrying all that weight leaves me horrified.
