The weight does come from the long glass for sure (Sigma 50-500, Tamaron 7-200) and the Tripod. I may get a CF tripod at some point - right now unfortunatley my day job gets in the way to take as many photographic trips as I would like. Some day though that is how I plan to spend my days and by then I will defintley lighten the load.

I take the whole kit and kabootle with me a lot of the times , however I usually go where I can park the car and then head out and come back to the car if need be. If I am in some situations where I am treking into the bush I may take it all. Also I may take it all if I am going somewhere exotic I have not been before.

I don't find it that bad actually (I am sure at some point I will :D ). But there ae way more times I just go out wth the body and maybe a couple of lenses.

I was just curious how many Kilos / pounds you largest bag fully loaded would weigh. I was guessing mine was 50 and it tunred out to be 36 - surpised me.

I went out this morning to shoot some shots and decided to load up. I am planning a week in the Mountains with some friends in mid September so I wanted to get a feel for carrying what I think I will be bringing. I may lighen the load but in all likleyhood not. At a minimun I will bring it all with me I may not carry it all depending on what the day's activities are then again it's the mountains so you have to be prepared for stunning landscapes and wildlife at any given moment :D

This a Lowepro Computreker AW Plus


IMGP0881 by DaveYDaacon, on Flickr

Inside are:

DA 10-17
DA 12-24
DA 35 LTD
SMC 50
DA* 16-50
DA* 50-135
Sigma 105 Macro
Sigma 50-500
Tamrom 70-200
Pentax 1.7x Teleconverter
K20D BG4 Battery Grip
Culman 42000 Ball Head
540FGZ Flash
Extra Batteries , Timer, Pen Light, Fliters

Strapped on the outside is (still don't like those straps - going to get something else)

ManFrotto 055XPROB with a Manfrotto 322RC2 pistol grip

I always joked around that I was slugging 50lbs on my back so today I actually weighed it. A reasonable 36lbs.

With the Lowepro CompuTreker aw plus, it has the waist straps which takes a surprising amount of weight off the shoulders.

I carried this around today for about 1.5 - 2 hours and I felt fine.

There are a couple of lenses left out (Sigma 17-70 and DA 55-300) trivial extra weight the bag has room for them. (I think ;) )

And here I am today carrying the load - ahh the things we go through to get a shot :D
