I'm travelling to Japan for a 3 week holiday in a week and it just occurred to me that it might be worthwhile bringing back another Tak for portable imaging/visual use.

Is it worthwhile buying there as opposed to here? Would a TSA120 fit as carry on baggage (JAL), what about one of the FC100 models? Have not looked through the FC's what are they like?

cheers

The TSA120 with its focuser removed is still 630mm long.
JAL cabin baggage limit is one bag 55x40x20 and 10kg.
TSA120 duty free from Kyoei-Sangyo is 393000 JPY or about $4715 Ozzie $.
if you get asked to pay GST then $5200 and no warranty service in Australia...
