jon_martin2 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I normally go out with just the camera and a lens, but if I'm carrying everything . . . ? Nikon FM with 24mm f2.8, 50mm f1.4, and 105mm f2.5 lenses Polarizing , UV(0), Y2, LB1 (?) filters Bogen tripod, bogen ball head, mini tripod cable release, and other stuff I don't like to carry all of that though, so I normally anticipate my needs and pull along the body with film and a single lens.

Matthew Currie Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I have one of those cheap aluminum tool cases the size of an extra-fat attache case, which I carry in the car, though I don't then carry the whole shebang when I go out walking. In the case, fitted with foam, is a Photomic FTn, with a 50 mm F2 lens, a 24/2.8, a 35-105/3.5-4.5 zoom, an 80-200/4 zoom, a Vivitar 20/3.8, a couple of extension tubes, a couple other gadgets and a flash. The case is heavy but compact. Tripod too, of course. A monopod also usually lives in the car, so it's available. Other stuff comes along in separate containers sometimes if I expect to need it: Second F with faster film, 35/2.8PC, 400/5.6, etc. It's too much, of course, but then again, maybe it isn't enough. I think I'd better check out the KEH listings again to find out what I need next! Sometimes I leave it all home and stick either an Olympus XA2 or a Rollei 35 in my pocket.

armando_roldan Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 besides cameras and lenses, I got a short roll of electrical tape, a very small flashlight, at least 3 4-packs of AA batteries,some rubberbands, 2 safety pins, a tiny/jewelers screwdriver kit, a lighter,lens tissues,small tube of sun block,hand sanitizer packet or tiny squeeze bottle, and usually a bottle of water in the one side pockets if don't carry my fanny pack along too....and OCCASIONALLY a pepper spray canister if doing thru a rowdy area at night like walking from a parking area 3-4 blocks from/to a nightclub downtown to shoot a band or something.

vanson Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 It differs from time to time, but lately I carry around a F3/T with MD-4, 20mm/2.8 Ais, 50mm/1.4 Ai, 85mm/1.4 Ais, and a 180mm/2.8 ED Ais. Lots of film, b/w and slide, red filters for all lenses, two polars, and sometimes even a big tripod, when someone else is driving the car that is. At night, or early in the morning before going to work, I grab a lightweight FE with either a noct nikkor or the 20mm/f2.8 Ais. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidoo Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 That's annoying that I can't type the Canon Powershot model designation correctly. Photo.net gives me an error admonition for speculating about new Nikon cameras if I type SD 300 without the space. Silly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn_rahman Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Like many, I have an inexplicable amount of stuff I don't really need anymore. For a Nikon FM3A: 28/2.8 AIS; 50/1.4 AIS; 105/2.5 AIS; SB-30 & Vivitar 2800 flashes. For a F100 & N90S: 24/2.8 AF-D; 35-70/3.3-4.5 AF; 50/1.8 AF-D; 85/1.8 AF-D; 28-105/3.5-4.5 AF-D; 80-200/2.8 AF-D ED; SB-80DX flash. For a D70: 18-70 kit lens, SB-800 flash, and all of the other AF-D lenses above For a Mamiya 645 Pro TL: 120 Back, 80/2.8, 45/2.8, 150/3.5, 2x converter, AE Prism; Vivitar 285HV flash Sekonic 358 Meter, Bogen tripod & pan/tilt head, filters, bags, etc. And daily promises not to buy any more stuff. I only recently acquired the Mamiya system, and use that and the Nikon FM3A almost exclusively now. Sadly the F100, N90S, and D70 are sitting idly. For a while, I've been thinking of donating the N90S with the 35-70/3.3 AF lens to a school somewhere, but it was the first camera I truly loved. Hard to part with good stuff, however redundant.

Robert_Lai Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Film based: F3 with MD4. Whatever lens I happen to be enamoured of at the moment, and another one at the opposite end of the spectrum.<p>Flash - either the SB-17 or the SB-21 ringflash.<p>Some filters: Polarizer, graduated gray 2 stops, B&W filters: yellow, orange, red. These are in a filter stacker. If I'm interested in Macro, I will also bring the 5T and 6T closeup lenses which are in their own 62mm filter stacker.<p>Double-bubble hot shoe level. Cable release. Microfiber cleaning cloth. Hex wrenches for Arca-Swiss plates.<p>Digital: Olympus D540 P&S camera with a 256MB xD card.<p>Film P&S: Canon Sure Shot Tele. If I'm shooting B&W, it will have a yellow or orange filter on it (it has 40.5mm filter threads). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan park Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I hope no thief?s are perusing this forum because you guys have lots of goodies in your bags When I?m following my wife and newborn around or on a trip I usually have: A canon backpack with electrical tape covering the canon tags (cheapest camera backpack I could find). Inside I usually have a D50 and a 24-85 G ED IF Lens and a 75-300 push pull for surf shots. I also have an FE with a 50mm f1.8 manual focus for black and white (used to be my main camera till I got the D50). A Canon Elura minidv to capture funny (at least to my wife and I) baby faces and noises. Last but not least I have a Bronica S2A that I just inherited from my grandfather along with three lenses, 50mm Nikkor, 100mm Bronica and 200mm Nikkor. I?ll be using this along with my tripod for landscapes and maybe some family portraits (or when I want to try and be Ansel Adams?I know, not a chance). Unfortunatly I have a seldom used (since the D50) Olympus OM-4 with 4 lenses. I?ll probably end up Ebaying it or something. I'm not sure what this forums purpose is other than just to see what's under everybodies hood, I guess :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icuneko Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 A small GN 16 (metric) flash, a pack of lens tissues, a bulb blower/brush, a couple of rolls of whatever film, and either a Konica Hexar Silver AF with 35mm f2 lens or a Nikon FM2N with 85mm f2 AI lens both fitted with UV filters. The KISS approach to photograhy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurie_m Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Hmm...depends on where I'm going and what I'll be shooting. If I'm loading up for the unexpected... D2X + D70 12-24mm, 18-70, 70-300 (lightweight zoom), 80-400 VR, 50mm 1.8, 105mm Micro, Kenko extension tubes. SB800, flash bracket, flash cord, mini diffuser Polarizers for each lens, Grad ND, Warming filter, IR filter 40GB portable hard drive, Spare battery for each camera, spare batteries for flash, lens pen, rocket blower, nut driver for tripod legs, small flashlight, sunscreen, insect repellent, small notepad, pens, model release, property release, extra quick release plate, extra CF cards (usually take 5GB with me), Camera manual, a few moist towelettes (to clean insect repellent off my hands because it wrecks the finish on my lenses), a handful of tissue because you never know when nature will call, a handtowel to wipe salt spray off my gear because I frequently shoot on the beach. All packed in a Tamrac Expedition backpack (I have two smaller packs for carrying lighter loads) Of course, a very sturdy tripod. I wear a baseball cap because it comes in handy as a lens hood when needed. If rain is in the forecast, I'll also have a slicker handy. Water bottles as needed. I will rarely hike much distance with this load. It's about 28lbs. and I'm a whimp. If I'm going more than 3 or 4 miles, I'll whittle things down considerably. I might split things into two packs and beg my husband to carry a bit of the load. If I'm shooting mostly from my car, I might take along a Holga or one of my film bodies. I also have a Nikonos that I keep planning on using while snorkeling in the springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
