What would they do if you hang the heaviest camera with the heaviest lens around your neck?

the 10-1000 F1.0 is available* for rental, but would be over the hand baggage limit, even for an Antonov....
* on advance payment of 1 meeelion dollars in uncut diamonds suitable for fluffy white pussycats.

Arrest you for being a terrorist. That is, if you made it in one piece on the underground.

Smirk, laugh and get the big calculator out....What would they do if you hang the heaviest camera with the heaviest lens around your neck?
Thanks Mike and Gareth for the offer. Understand your needs are greater...
I now have two bodies and several lenses on the living room floor.
Logistics R us. It's either K7 + K10 or K7 + istD?
The K7 will be gripped, the K10 or istD will not be. (that's a 1st for me, not having a gripped body). (Wife laughs and says something derogatory!)

If your just taking 2 lenses then how about the 18-55 WR and also I think you have a 70-200 f2.8?
Maybe take a TC also :
Lenses are (this minute) 10-17mm, 16-50mm, 50-135, 70-200. + 1.4TC and AF1.7TC. Logic says leave the 70-200 and use the 50-135 with the AF1.7 as I have said in other threads, that combination is fast and furious AF compared to SDM.I think I'd take the K7 and the K10. Wow, not having a grip on my GX10, that'd just feel sooooo weird

the grips could be taken off and put in your hold baggage, so that will save a bit of weight... as probably could things like the TC's and other small items. Its only easily-floggable gear that's going to get nicked (i.e. cameras, lenses, jewels..)

K-7 and buy a K-x out there.
My next body was going to be an Alpha 850 (for all the wrong reasons). All of my Minolta glass is FF yet I love my Maxum 7D (same sensor as istD).K-7 and buy a K-x out there.
That suggestion Mike, is tempting?????
Down side is that I have to buy a house, car and microwave first...

I'd be happy with a tent and Aussie Cabernet, but once my beloved arrives.....she would be non too happy and hotel rates are not cheap...
That said, once I acquire the Aussie mind set....s--t happens..
