Do you take your gear to work with you..?

[Paul Howell]

I work in the Phoenix area so I carry a Mamyia 6, (1950s) and a Chinon CM3 with a couple of lens a few rolls of film in either the trunk of my care or back of my SUV during the cool months, hen the temps top out at over a 100 I just carry a digital SLR. Up untill 2010 or 09 I carried a 4X5 press camera, heavy tirpod and a 35mm kit.

I carry an Olympus Stylus Epic loaded w/ Tri-X on my person whenever I leave the house. My work bag has 2 more Stylus Epics, 1 w/ ASA 100 bw and 1 w/ ASA 3200 bw. I also keep a Fuji Instax Mini and extra pack of film in my desk.

 

[Sirius Glass]

No, we are not allowed to have any cameras or recording equipment at work.

Always. Today it was a Mamiya 645 w/ grip, a 150 f3.5 and an 80 f2.8, some screw-on close-up lenses, a Luna Pro F meter, a Nikon SB-28 flash and an Ikoflex la TLR. Various filters for each camera and a few other accessories. Large (heavy) bag to hold it all and a Bogen tripod in the car. Also always have my Canon G10 with me if I feel lazy.

I rarely go anywhere without either my car or my wife's car.

Each of the cars has a 35mm rangefinder in the trunk ("boot", for those who prefer that term).

My car has my main tripod and a monopod in the trunk. My wife's car has our smaller tripod in its trunk.

When I was working, I nearly always had a camera with me. I did get a few decent shots because of it, but didn't always have time to stop and get a shot that I saw 'cause I was on the way to a scene. I also ended up using it for work on occasion if it wasn't a serious enough case for the official photo crew to be called out. Once though, I was taking the driving class and got to run through the course in my personal car and realized as I was doing the slalom that the thumps I kept hearing were my then brand-new tripod in the trunk flopping back and forth.

I recently bought a Certo Six with 2.8/80mm coated Tessar for that very purpose, to carry it along wherever I go. Great lens, great camera, just a bit slow to operate (but I still have to get used to it).
Previously, I had a Plaubel 67. Sadly, I sold that one

I usually have a camera with me when I go to work, typically my Nikon F3 or my Yashica Lynx 5000e, or an Olympus Stylus if I feel like traveling light. But even if I don't bring one of them, there are cameras at work, too. I'm surrounded by them!

[NedL]

Not into work, but I have a long commute and usually have a camera in my car. Right now there's a foldex 30 loaded with acros hidden under the driver's seat

 

[Clay2]

Always did when working. Retired now and have a camera in car and cell phone on belt just in case.

Best regards,

i take a camera with me whenever I leave the house.

I used to. I haven't carried a camera with me regularly in months though.

 

[Dennis S]

I have a film camera within 10'-15' of me 24/7

 

[dreamingartemis]

I carry either a 35mm or an instax with me everyday to work. Sometimes it's worth it, sometimes it's not but for the days it's not, I just think of it as weight training instead.

Hey, gotta try and see the positive in things

 

[benjiboy]

There's a lot of truth in the old adage "the best camera is the one you have with you".

 

[Thomas Bertilsson]

They don't let cameras through the doors where I work, and for some time they even disabled the cameras on people's company cell phones for the same reason.
I've been known to display a 5x7 camera at my desk anyway, just for fun, and it does catch a lot of attention.

I keep a 35mm in the car though. You just never know if something spectacular is going to rear itself.

 

[drumlin]

Always have a Holga and/or (usually and) a Nikon FE2 kit in the car all the time. I always take one with on a daily walk I take during the lunch hour.

I always take one with on a daily walk I take during the lunch hour.

I wish I had an hour for lunch. Can't get much done in half an hour.


Steve.

 

[bsdunek]

Yes. Usually my Yashica GSN, and in the Summer I add a Holga.

I'm not even allowed to leave the factory!

I took the RB67 to work today.
In Manhattan, an RB67, in a backpack . . .
Perhaps, I should have taken the Minox instead ?

Enjoy The Weekend !

ooops I meant A camera. Yes I need to use "the other one" when time is a factor

 

[mweintraub]

I usually bring a camera with me to work. I sit at a desk and try to go out and take photos at lunch, but don't do that a lot. But I still bring gear with me.

It's where the new cameras cool down until my wife sees photos taken with them
