Do you carry your gear daily.

[Clicker]

So do you walk with your gear daily and everywhere (body and couple of lenses)? I'm going under the assumption you're not a photojournalist

If limited gear please post your walk about setup.




Wasn't sure if to ask here or "General" section, moderator please move if in wrong section, thank you

I almost always have the K200D in the Slingbag with the Sigma 17-70 (attached), DA10-17FE, Tamron 70-300, and FA50. If I'm travelling super light, I'll just carry my Lowepro holster bag with the K200D/17-70 combo and the FA50.

No.

I do, and the kit usually contains 1 longer lens, a TC, wider zoom and a prime.

Typical would be:
K10D
Tamron 28-75 or Da16-45
Sigma 24mm f2.8
Tamron TC 1.4
Sigma 70-200 f2.8 or FA*300mm f4.5

Always have the K20D and a bag of lenses (usually Takumar) alongside me in the truck at work. Very often have one or more of several different film cameras along as well. Typically keep a Konica C35 in a bag that goes back and forth to work with me and will generally take something along with me when I go out. Since most of the time when I go out apart from working it is to take photos that probably really shouldn't count.

Everything in my signature is in my bag and I carry it with me daily.

I have a hard shell case that is in my truck that contains all of the accessories that I might ever need.


Now, if I could just figure out what to do with all of that stuff???

[CheddarGav]

Ed, if ever you get tired of carrying that lot about I'll gladly take the strain for you! Nice gear list!!

I don't take mine everywhere, tho I do carry it about 70% of the time

My Pentax setup is currently only a K100D + DA70, tho I hope to add a DA21 or 15 to that. The beauty of Pentax is that you CAN carry this sort of gear about without feeling like you're breaking your back!

[Gooshin]

90% of the time i bring my camera + 1 lens, which lens depends on my mood

lately its been the FA43, but now with my purchase of the FA50, that thing hasnt left my camera since.

I used to carry everything but lightstands/umbrellas/reflector in a Lowepro Slingbag AW200, but that got to heavy when on assignment.

I now carry a Westiebag, with a lens on my K20D, and two others - the three lenses are usually the Sigma 10-20mm, Sigma 17-70mm and a Tamron 70-300. In the zipper pocket, I keep extra batteries, rocket blower, Gary Fong Puffer for quick pop up fill flash, mem cards, lens cloth, biz cards. When I take my 540FGZ, it goes currently on the camera in my hand or in my pants pocket with a Gary Fong Lightsphere Universal attached. I need to come up with a better storage spot for that - probably a holster (home made) on the Westiebag strap.

Everything else - noted above, goes in a soft duffle bag for now. I'm investigating hard sided/wheeled alternatives, but so far it works for me. =)

I always carry K20, 18-250 and 10-17. I travel around Cornwall daily on my job and do not want to miss any opportunities

I don't. I should. I have missed out on many a good photo op.

[séamuis]

9 times out of 10 I simply carry my MX with smcM 50mm 1.7, PH-S 49mm lens hood and a couple rolls of film. the other times its my K110D smcM 85mm 2. I rarely carry more than one lens.

[acbees]

I drive a truck for a living and take my stuff with me everyday. The K20, 3 Tamron SP Adaptall 2's (35-80mm CF macro, 90mm macro, 300mm tele macro, and 2X converter), Tamron 70-300mm, Super Macro Takumar 50mm, Lester Dine 105mm, ring flash, and tripod are all in the sleeper if I need them. Always take the Panasonic GS250 miniDV camcorder also. Will take the K20 and at least one lens on a trip to town or a drive, just depends where we're going and how long we plan on being gone. Many are the days that I don't do anything more than put them in the truck and take them out at night, but we all know what would happen if I left them at home.

By the way, Hi Mattp9! Haven't seen you on here for a while, neighbor!

Right now, I don't simply because even with a small lens, my k10 is so big. I've got a nice p&s on the way to me that should fit into my purse, so that'll solve that problem. I still want to get a decent street bag (ie--something like a Crumpler) and when I do, I'll probably carry it more.

I walk around (and commute) with a K20D and an FA31; usually there's a few other primes in the bag (a crumpler, which is usually in turn in a messenger bag).
