Including a shoulder bag with other cameras and lenses. :-) Scott would have a Canon with 300 2.8, and another Canon with 400 2.8 and ready to go. I'd have an R with motor, 280, shoulder brace and pistol grip as well as a 400 2.8 on another R camera, it's some sight boarding a plane. But they all fit nicely in the overhead bin above us and we never had any on board hassle and we always arrived with our gear intact. Did we look like clumsy tourists? uuuuuum I don't think so. ;-) Today? well I'm not sure . ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
