Would you let me know the model of the hard case you purchased and if you still feel about traveling with 24xl dismounted in a separate case, not on a camera?
Is there a hard case/adequate box that Rodenstock/Shneider makes for their LF Digital lenses?

Danijela,
I have two hard cases now. The biggest one ia an Amabilia, I am not sure what model it is. You can see the Amabilia cases at: [a href=\"http://www.amabilia.it/products/index.php3]http://www.amabilia.it/products/index.php3[/url]
I use the Amabilia case when I travel with the Alpas and my 6008 and lenses. The case is indestructible and heavy (about 5-6 kilo). Unfortunately the case does not have a laptop compartment.
I have a smaller case. It is a cheap Chinese Vangard plastic thing. It is light with foam inserts. It takes my 12 SWA, TC and three lenses. I have a 35mm digitar mounted on the TC, with the back. The 12 SWA goes separate, than two other lenses in the plastic boxes, the viewfinder, the expodisc and filters and a box of e-Wipe.
I usually put the plastic case in my Lancel overnighter, alongside my ibook or a powerbook. So I do not look as a pro travelling ( and I am not). I usually have lighter old ibook with me because I use Brumbaer eMotionReader on my ibook to upload images from the back or cards.
After the disaster with the 24mm, I built two plastic cases for my lens (11 x11 x 18 for the helvetar, and 11 x 11 x 14 for the 35mm) and put some foam inside to absorb shock . I have not seen any profesionaly made cases for lenses.
Tripod: I had some problems with the airlines when thaveling with my tripod / monopod. They do not let to have a tripod or even a monopod on board with the handluggage.
