Since my last posting , have I become the proud and Immensely Happy owner of the PC-E Nikkor 19 f4.0 ....only 3mnths. old and bought for 1/3 of price,it is a Humdinger of a lens , in Optical Quality and Handling incl. Weight and Size...and with last X-mas there was the IRIX Blackstone 11mm f4.0 ( also a HeavyWeight ) under the tree accompanied by a Lenovo Legion loaded with Win. 10, which I will have to learn how to use !!) and I am preparing to Leave for Far East in Ten days !!!

Airline weight restrictions are now a major headache as my PC-E Nikkors are Hefty pieces of Glass... :doh:

The 11 f4.0 and the PC-E 19..Will come along ( even tho` they can n`t take filters )...but of the others I`m Not sure yet..altho`PC-E 24 ..PC 28..PC35 and PC-E Micro 85 do take Cokin P filters.

I wish I could take the 14-24 and the 70-210 f4.0 for those times when having to be quick about it..tho` that does Not seem likely..

I would also like to take Both the D3s and the D3X...as I will have Two bags ,..a Lowepro slingbag and a TENBA roller/backpack ...but those weight restrictions...

There are some of us here who also travel with heavy gear by airliner...if I dare Ask , Graham Whistler has recently been to Africa and showed some Fantastic images from there..shot with a 200-500 even ( Big and Heavy bugger ) how did you manage that,...did you pay overprice for the X-tra weight ?...

Looking forward to Pointers and Solutions.
