If you want to forestall trouble, take the original receipts with you. Film crews use something called a 'carnet' which details every hood and filter. I've come through US customs with Leicas so many times I've lost count and though sometimes they ask about them they've never given me any hassle. - -- Johnny Deadman http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
