Actually, your revised carry-on load was heavier by the amount of the
weight of the new bag you bought for your 500...

Also, I believe it was Rob Studdert that questioned the weight of
my new
carry on 500mm lens-holding rolling camera bag. Well, just
because it fits
in the carry on luggage rack doesn't mean you can bring it on a
Qantas
flight. I got dinged on it today. They allow 7kg per carry on.
Mine with
500m lens, 300mm lens, body, flash etc weight 15kg. Oops. I had
to buy a
special bag just for the 500/4...
How did they work it out? Normally they don't put hand luggage on
the scales ;-(
The Qantas check-in lady at LAX made a serious point about measuring
and weighing the hand luggage. Plus at the gate they were adamant
about measuring and weighing again. My Thinktank bag fits fine in
the sizer thingy it was just the weight they had an issue with so i
bought a separate bag for the 500/4. The stupid thing is that
between the 3 of us and the original 5 carry-ons we had the same
weight as with the now 6 carry-ons. It defies logic. They should
just do a maximum weight between 2 bags per person or whatever.
