Good grief, I have a closet of Halliburton cases and most recently have acquired another closet of Lightware cases. Next on my list are Pelican cases. (My spouse is not amused, but that's another story). If you're traveling with a small set of M cameras CARRY them ON the plane. This past weekend I traveled with the following in my J803 Domke--2 M bodies, 2 lenses, 3 pairs of glasses, wallet, datebook, notepad, sport earphones, iPod, small radio, film, earplugs -- you get the idea. Alot of stuff in one "purse" sized bag. Two-body/four-lens M6 set up would easily have fit minus some of my personal items. Luggage gets lost, stolen, misdirected. Frankly, not very often, but you want to land where you're going ready to shoot. BTW, I've been feeding my bag into the security machine and have yet to have anybody inspect it afterwards. At DFW they did have to feed it thru three times to check it out but no hand inspection. I carry my film in a plastic ziplock bag and hand inspections (in USA) haven't been a problem.
