I figured I might as well let the cat out of the bag. In November, I will be facing a major logistical challenge regarding air transport of equipment. The occasion is a photographer's cruise to Antarctic waters. Much like the one Michael Reichmann of Luminous Landscape fame did some time ago. The itinerary includes flights through Europe to Argentina, and a domestic flight from Buenos Aires to Puerto Madryn. We'll get another domestic flight from Ushuaia to Buenos Aires on the return, and then the long haul back.
So the challenge is what to pack and how. I'd dearly love to bring the 600/4, but that alone nearly fills the hand luggage quota for cattle class. As I understand it, Argentinian weight limits are stricter than both USA and Europa. Any and all serious suggestions would be most appreciated. My priority list so far is: K20D with grip K10D without grip (or possibly K-7 if it materialises in the market before then) FA*600/4 DA*300/4 DA*60-250/4 DA*16-50/2.8 DA14/2.8 Sachtler tripod with RRS 55mm ballhead and Wimberley Sidekick 15" laptop 2 portable harddrives for backup. -- http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/ http://alunfoto.blogspot.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
