akochanowski Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Almost never more than one body and one lens. Sometimes it's an OM-4Ti with a 40mm or a 28mm, other times a Contax N1 with a (gasp) 24-85 zoom. What I almost always do is stuff various speed films in my pocket, anything from 100 to 1600 asa.

silent1 Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Sometimes I carry a big sports bag with every working camera I own (last count, around a dozen), and sometimes I narrow it down. Today when I was out, I carried my Spottie in a hard case I got with a non-functioning Ricoh a few months ago, including the 135 mm and 28 mm lenses, flash, etc., and my Moskva-5; the Spottie has two film carriers on the strap, both with 400TX, and I stuck a fresh roll of TMY 120 in a pill tube that fits it to have a spare for the Moskva. I didn't bother to take along the format mask. A few times recently I've gone out with only my Minolta 16, but I probably won't do that again until I find a faster film for it; I'm shooting Imagelink HQ (microfilm) at EI 50, which amounts to a one stop push in the process I'm using, and I tend to underexpose because I don't believe the exposures I calculate from Sunny 16 -- f/4 at 1/30 is a little uncomfortable for the kind of street shooting I can manage, especially with a fixed focus lens and auxiliary diopters.

hendrik Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Either my Rolleiflex OR Contax 645 with waist level finder and 80mm. Both used with cable release. Camera in front of your face just does not let the people relax enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkphoto Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Sometimes I feel like shooting blurred action in a busy square but as I head to the door I look at the tripod and groan-- I'm not concerned about weight but the fact that it doesn't fit into my backpack still deters me. I find I work best when I stick to one lens so it's usually a Nikon FM2 and a 50mm. This fits nicely into a small camera bag which is nicely disclosed inside a backpack. A mini-tripod usually goes along as well and is a great tool at night when a rubbish bin or other structure avails itself to add height. In total: it weighs in at about 800g. What I like about this is that it's not dependent upon me carrying a bag-- I can fit the FM2 into one cargo-trouser pocket, the lens in the other and a few rolls of film too. This usually necesitates me wearing a belt or otherwise hitching my trousers up constantly due to the weight but it means I can usually bypass the "no photography" restrictions in some areas...

dominic_. Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Usually one camera, and one or two lenses, usually 24/2.8 and 50/1.8. That's all I really need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew robertson Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Canon 10D, EF 28-135 IS lens, extra memory card. Great general-purpose lens. Maybe I'll throw the 50mm f/1.8 II in for kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WM Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Most of the time, Voigtlander Bessa R and 35mm f1.7 Ultron lens, sometimes with the Nikkor-SC 5cm f1.4 LTM or my crapshoot Jupiter8 50/2 for fun. Neopan 400, 1600 or Tri-x, sometimes Fuji NPZ 800 for colour. For my masochistic days, the Canon 10d & Canon 70-200/2.8L IS USM monster and 3Gb of CFs that scares little kids ! Even my dog ! Keep on shootin'........Wee-Ming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh_t Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Street shooting calls for the Nikon D70 with a 24mm F2.8 and a 1G Lexar CF. @300 large file, fine quality jpegs. Shoot first, ask questions later, fill the card come home and delete the crap. What was the question anyway??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_. Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 M6/'lux 35/1.4 or a CLE/Elmarit 28/2.8 but never both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
