Common questions

Yes. There is no limit on the number of lenses you can carry. Use a padded lens pouch or camera bag to protect them.

Large lenses can appear unusual on X-ray. Have your lens caps on and be prepared to remove lenses from your bag for additional inspection.

For international travel, you may want to carry receipts or a customs declaration form for expensive lenses to prove they were purchased before travel and avoid paying import duties on return.
