No trouble at any check-in or security gate, not one single image lost and i never, ever, worried that my batteries were low. so much for progress. c trentelman In a message dated 7/22/04 4:09:19 AM, lug-request@leica-users.org writes: > Shooting digital, means you've got to carry a > >>>> computer as well, and that bag weighs around 17 lbs.?
