A bit dated by now, but it should give an indication of do's and don'ts: http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/x-ray.htm Doesn't seem as if your requirements get you to either size or weight- limit though. (hint: a full-packed PhotoTrekker can easily top 15kg; but cheating is easy, just have some additional smaller (shopping) bags at hand while at the check-counter (and if they ask you to put it on the scale)....explain that this one full bag was just for carrying convience, and that you will repack and split your stuff among your co-travellers, after tax-free shopping. (especially if you also pack all your films inside, it can look quite frightingly large....:)) -- Bye, Willem-Jan Markerink The desire to understand is sometimes far less intelligent than the inability to understand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [note: 'a-one' & 'en-el'!] * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
