No guarantees that anything that we could say will automatically get you and your lens on a plane, Ryan - <g>. Besides, since you've got one of the ~green~ big A* lenses, any security person who has seen only ~white~ big A* lenses in print is gonna be suspicious - <g>. Seriously, I would try to carry it on, but be willing to have it hand inspected as well as x-rayed if necessary. Maybe you should make sure that the the aperture is already set wide open, so that a security person could easily look through the lens from one end to the other with the two caps off (to see that it's nothing but air and beautiful SMC glass from one end to the other). That's about all I can think of, except maybe to smile a lot. ;-) Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
