[Leica] About ready to give it up...

[jplaurel at spectare.com (Jim Laurel)]

Well, for sure people carry some ridiculously large/heavy hand carry 
bags.  But my original point was that with a single decent digital SLR 
and the three most common zooms for it, you are over the limit by 25%, 
not to mention the computer you've got to have to download images.  And 
mind you, this kit is made up of tenuous and delicate electronic stuff. 
  i have no redundancy at all.  no backups.  if one thing in my kit 
fails...no more picture taking.
