Thank you,

I posted earlier about this because I have not flown with heavy cameras
and film.  The last two trips out of country have been with digital gear
and an iBook, and I'm used to having my iBook taken apart.

What I do not know about is what I can expect with my M6, FE2, lenses,
and film: i.e., should I bag the film separately, in a large baggie?
should I not put film in the cameras? etc.  This may be old hat for some
of you, but it is not for me.  I've invested a lot of money in my Leica
gear, and I don't want to take chances with it.

I need the experience of you folk to help me plan for my upcoming
flight.

If there is a handy website which will answer my questions, please point
me.

TIA,

Ken Frazier
