Did not know about the rosewood box, but the silver box could have use some polish. The 'sliver' flaked off quite a bit.
But no matter.... it is all window dressing, anyway.
Started weighing my camera equipment today. My 2 camera bodies are almost 3 lbs. My big lens is 3 lbs. My computer is at least 4 lbs (need to weigh it). and let us not forget about the bag, itself. (or my other lenses).
What is a lens lad (tm) to do? Clearly, I will be over 11 lbs in my carry-on. Equally as clear, I would rather not place my valuable gear in checked baggage.
The always lovely Andrea came up with a solution!.
WEAR IT!
On ROAR 2, in Hermanus, I bought a great vest with lots of pockets. I shall wear it stuffed with heavy expensive goodies! I suggest that the rest of you check out clothing that can hold your 'stuff'.
Security screening should be interesting. & I will have to check my books in my regular bags due to the weight.
Of course, the critters won't care.
Can't wait, Doug
