Hello again Michael.
I have a small(ish) camera bag which goes underneath an airliner's seat.
In it I can get two S1 bodies, 22-80mm, 80-240mm, 50mm macro and 400mm
lenses, 3500xi flashgun plus a GPS and a small radio.
That's all in the main compartment.
In the side pockets we have perhaps 12-15 APS films (so much smaller than
35mm), spare batteries, remote control and a very small table tripod.
Glad I'm not the only one who likes the compactness of the Vectis system.
Regards, ian.
