Mirrorless on board (airplane)
#1
I think the latest time I took an airplane was in 2011/2012, and I started the mirrorless conversion in 2013: so I've never flied with my mirrorless system. The point is that the constraints about baggage were becoming so painful that I always preferred to use other means. This of course works for the continental Europe and my most frequent destinations (north/centre Italy, Switzerland, southern France, etc...).

Now I have to go to Cagliari, Sardinia, for business reasons. I'll enjoy a free weekend and of course I want to have most of my photographic equipment. As I expected, constraints have worsened since my latest flight. Not much a problem with checked-in baggage (it's just a matter to pay more for more weight), but with on-board stuff: in particular, 20cm of max. thickness. Nevertheless, I've been able to pack three camera bodies, three zoom lenses from 10mm to 200mm and one Nikkor prime used as a macro lens with the extension tube. I think that this is one camera body and one lens more than I'd been able to do with my previous DSLRs.

Too bad for the 150-600mm: it would fit for what concerns space, but it goes beyond the weight limit. Too bad because Cagliari has got coastal lakes packed with birds...
