Still two pockets at the end for film and a long pocket in the front for .. whatever. Actually, the last time I travelled to the states I got: 1 M with 35, 50, 90, 1 F3 with 24, 50 and 85 and 1 Rolleicord. There wasn't any room to spare, but it worked. Didn't carry it around like that, but I managed to get it all on as carry-on that way. Daniel On 9/5/05, Peter M. C.
