Re. Poor F90x sick after Laos [v04.n290/7]

[Andrew Alexander Malcolm, Dr]

Hi Christoph,

I regularly experience the same thing, great difficulty in removing the
MB-10 (although without loose screws), and in the past have resorted to
hitting the lock wheel with a variety of blunt instruments to free it.

I suspect this is the problem in your case ... the wheel is simply stuck and
a quick knock or gripping it with something which will allow more leverage
than is possible with fingers alone will loosen it up.

I was somewhat surprised to read your comments about the LowePro MiniTrekker
... I have been using this bag to cart an F90x and an F601 plus 6 or 7
lenses and assorted junk around Asia for the past couple of years with no
problems. Mind you I haven't been in Laos yet !!!! Would be interested to
hear your experiences of it as I am considering a visit later this year.

Cheers,
Andy
