lex_jenkins Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 <p>D2H, 18-70/3.5-4.5 DX or 35-70/2.8D AF Nikkor, depending on what I anticipate encountering. Outdoors and daylight, I'll go for the handy DX Nikkor. I'll usually grab the faster zoom for nighttime and indoor stuff. I like tight framing so the 52.5-105mm equivalent focal range suits my preferences for photographing people.</p> <p>If I don't want to carry a bag I'll stick an extra CF card in a pocket. Sometimes I'll wear cargo jeans and carry an extra card, battery, lens wipes, etc., in the pockets.</p> <p>Ideally, I'd rather have the lighter, smaller D90 and a fast midrange zoom, preferably a lighter one like a Tamron f/2.8 rather than the heavier Nikkor 17-55/2.8. I'm considering swapping/selling a bunch of stuff I'm not using for just that sort of combo.</p> <p>And my truly minimal kit is either an Olympus 35 RC or XA-3 stuffed with Tri-X or Ilford XP2 Super.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwallphoto Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 <p>D300s, 12-24mm, 105mm Micro, 300mm, 1.7X, tripod (for nature photography), and I can sacrifice the 300mm in certain situations, though almost always with a touch of regret.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_sirota1 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 <p>D700, empty card, fresh battery, and one lens. Which lens will vary based on where I'm going, usually a prime between 35 and 105mm. It would have to be a specialized trip to take something wider or longer. Sometimes it'll be a Lensbaby Composer or the 50-135/3.5 AIS. No bag, just the camera over the shoulder.</p> <p>Or, occasionally, it's a Zero Image pinhole camera with a tripod or other support device, plus film and meter. (There will be a bag in this case.)</p> <p>I'm surprised there are "minimal" kits involving a bag full of gear. Don't you ever leave home with just a camera and one lens?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillip_garland Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 <p>If I can't bring my camera bag or backpack with me, I'll be happy with:<br> Nikon D80 (until it was stolen yesterday, anyway...)<br> AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D or 85mm f/1.8D</p> <p>If I do have a bag with me, I'll often carry a Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 (also stolen...), a AF Nikkor 180mm f/2.8D, and a SB-800.</p> <p>I've come to feel that no matter what combination of focal lengths I have with me, I'll never be able to take every picture I wish I could capture; the light changes, people move and their expressions shift. It's more important to anticipate the possibilities I'll have with what I have close at hand.</p> <p>~Phillip</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross nolly Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 <p>D300, Nikkor 24mm f2.8 AF, SB-400 flash. Could travel the world with that list.

bgelfand Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 <p>It depends upon what you mean by "minimal"</p> <p>Absolute minimal - my cell phone - a Samsung Solstice. It take remarkably good images for what it is.</p> <p>Next step up - a Canon PowerShot Pro1 - my only digital (other than the phone). It is capable of very good images, but is one of the most frustrating cameras I have used - including the box cameras I had as a boy. Pre-focusing helps with this camera. </p> <p>My choice - my F100 with Nikkor 35-70 f/2.8D, 50mm f/1.4D, SB-28 flash. Add a 105mm f/2.5 lens for informal portraits. Add a 24mm f/2.8 manual focus if I need wide angle. Of course add film.</p> <p>If I want a challenge, a Bronica s2a with Nikkor 75mm f/2.8 lens, a Vivitar 285 flash, and film.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
