Thanks DaDue,

If I'm not mistaken that's the filter thread/cap size - not the hood.

Do you know the diameter of the hoods?

Cheers.

For both lenses it's 72mm.

I have the PM 1 downloaded to an ipad. Images linked and can be viewed.
However, that's where I am stuck.... What next? No help pages.
I assumed at this point I would have tools to edit the images?

Help anyone?

Good evening all,

Can anyone advise what the diameter of the lens hoods are for these 2 lenses?

Many thanks.

Kind regards,

Also in Europe you will be required to show your camera as well as phone, computer, laptop etc through the scan check. Make sure they're easy to get out.

NEVER check cameras through luggage (personal cameras) as the airline won't take responsibility both nationally and internationally. I've been purchasing an additional seat and carry at 35L bag that has held the X2D with 4 lenses, "stuff", and a tripod on several trips. It actually fits in the overhead on larger planes with no issues. I have, in the past, used Pelican cases and saw the baggage handlers just whip them on to the loading belt.

On top of that, if I am not mistaken, batteries are not accepted in checked-in luggage anymore, for safety reasons.

Any delicate equipment such as cameras & lenses plus laptops are advisable to be brought to the plane rather to cargo hold to avoid rough handling that may cause internal misalignment, damages etc.

X1D/X2D Cameras / Checking luggage
Last post by mjhillsc - Today at 02:26:01 AM
I haven't checked cameras and lenses for years, but am about to do a trip where it would allow me to travel with a bit more (useful) gear. Anybody have recent experience with the XCV system being checked through as luggage (in the proper case)? I'm a bit worried about the X2D IBIS and the shutters in the lenses.
