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.

Well you didnt ask for it but I am green envious!  19mm f4.0 PCE.

Hope your trip is OK and the decisions as to which equipment to take.

I think for me it is a D3X as it will give you the most from the lenses you take.
What type of images do you expect to make?  That dictates the lens choice.

Well J K , mostly \" scapes \"...and then some, as I will be overthere for half a year, yes, the 19 was something I was convinced to be made of Unobtemium..but then, a videographer who used it for One project and then decided it was somewhat cumbersome...when I showed-up for its purchase , he did n`t really know how to explain to use it,..but when he noticed the PC 28 on the D3X his face brightened considerably...

And yes, the D3X would be the preference, last time it was the D3s,...Yet, I would really like to take Both with me, for my base is a flat in K L malaysia,..so I can make-up a \" Rig for the day \"...but the weight restrictions....how did You do all those travels , I remember Hong Kong was a steady diet for you some time ago...and you seem to scutle back and forth between England and Spain...do you pay overprice..???

No I carry the Fuji equipment which is much lighter than my Nikons.
