Flew out of New York's LaGuardia today...my 'travel' camera is my battered M3 that I bought from a fellow Lugger in Denmark - missing vulcanite bits, doinked top, scratches, etc. But that camera with a collapsible M mount Elmar and a beat-up Canon lens cap is as compact as anything and of course takes great photos. It lives in the side bag of my briefcase. Upon occasion it will cause a bit of consternation at Xray...today was such a day. Operator stops the belt, pokes the guy next to him and say in the finest Brooklyn accent, "What da hell izzat?" Other guy, same accent, replies, "It's a clip." First guy stares at him. Second guy says, "You know - for ammunition." Needless to say, they hand inspected my bag...young lady doing the inspection was perplexed, especially when I extended the lens and told here the camera was 47 years old. No film was in it, I opened the back, showed her, and was on my way. - -- Craig Zeni - REPLY TO -->> clzeni at mindspring dot com http://www.trainweb.org/zeniphotos/zenihome.html http://www.mindspring.com/~clzeni/index.html The Sixties ain't over till the Fat Lady gets high. - J.
