Fly lighter. Less camera gear, less laptops.

Hand-carry. The only way to travel with expensive equipment.

I didnt know that canon makes a 30mm f1.4? Shouldn't that be a sigma since canon is 35mm?

ALSo the 50mm 1.4 is not an L lens

@Lotso: No, its a Sigma 30/1.4. And I know the 50/1.4 canon isn't a L lens. I just have a preference to L lenses, if they do exist in the size I'm after. BTW, tried the 50/1.2, cannot justify the extra cost for the extra stop. (and I hate the feeling of going to the store to want to buy it and returning home empty handed).

Only benefit? Same filter size as the other L lenses.

Do I really care? Nope, since I have an investment in filters for the 50mm anyway (I use them for colour infrared)

@Hub, Gen: Yes, it seems like the only way is to hand carry stuff, and fly lighter. Or just not take gear to the US...

The problem is not specific to the US. I would *NOT* trust *ANY* airline with valuables in the checked-in luggages.
