Hi Fellow Contaxians,
If you're wondering what my cryptic heading is about; I am refering to the weight allowance on flights for hand baggage.
Has anybody ever had a problem with the weight of their camera equipment when checking onto flights?
I'm off to Switzerland soon (anybody have any tips for taking pictures in Switzerland?) and I want to take a 645 body, two backs, the 80mm, the 45mm and the 210mm, the camera bag it-self, spare batteries, meter, filters and film (and psossibly an NX with a NAM adaptor). I reckon this will take me over the limit, but I'm never sure how lenient (or stringent) the airliners can be.
Also does anybody have a recommendation for a bag to carry this stuff in - I don't want a ruck-sack as I'll be using one for other stuff, so I'm looking for a shoulder bag that is compact but large enough at the same time (sorry if that sounds like an oxymoron!!).
Any thoughts would be welcomed.
Thanks in advance, Saras
