'Excuse me sir, is this your photographic equipment?' - 'Yes hofficer' 'Did you buy it in this country?' - 'Yes hofficer' (well, it was a former colony so that's close enough) Used photo gear rarely attracts attention unless it looks expensive. A 300mm 2.8 in a flight case looks and is expensive. An A*85mm 1.4 doesn't but is. I'll take a few Sears decals just in case... I've travelled out and back (USA amongst other destinations) with �30K worth of film gear (carnet) and they're not interested. Drugs, drugs, drugs - if you look like you're carrying, they'll pull you and search. If you look like a photo geek (I do) they're not interested. I pay my taxes (oh boy do I!) and am a patriotic bloke but coughing up tax on stuff that already has had tax paid on it already is too painful to think about... > >BTW, did anyone mention the M50/1.2? I saw one on eBay UK a month ago, >but only at a glimpse, I think it made �300 on Buy it now. My next project (not even completed the previous one yet!) involves just such a lens. I've been eyeing up K mounts and EOS mounts. It is physically possible with no loss of infinity focus. Everest ---> climb :-) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _____________________________ Free UK Mac Ads www.macads.co.uk
