A few decades ago, when I worked for a newspaper, I normally carried a Nikon F2 with a 35mm f/2, an 85mm f/1.8, and a 180mm f/2.8. I carried these items plus a Vivitar 283 flash, a handheld light meter, and a few rolls of b&w film in a small army surplus bag on a 650cc BSA motorcycle. https://flic.kr/p/bFzfjZ |

It was better for me because I needed the extra light gathering of the f/1.4 and I needed the 50mm focal length because 55mm was too long for my shooting style.

Jeff,
It also shifts.
By the way, I looked at your Flickr photostream and was very impressed with the quality and variety of your photographs. https://flic.kr/p/ahCiMp |

Here in Chicago, typical overcast skies reduce the light enough to allow shooting ISO 400 film at f/16 and 1/250th second. Wish we had more of your Queensland sunshine. https://flic.kr/p/9ykQzo |

Over the Easter/Passover holiday, my 92-year old aunt gave me her Ansco Standard Speedex 90mm f/4.5 120 medium format roll film folder. https://flic.kr/p/rH3XYR |
