Leaving on a trip Saturday morning. I will be bringing:
1. Canon kit - F-1, FTb, AE-1P (x2), 17/4.0, 28/2.0, 50/1.4, 55/1.2, 200/2.8 (It all fits in the Haliburton suitcase, so why not? The seemingly ridiculous redundancy has saved me in the past, and almost totally eliminates lens changes)
2. Nikon kit - F, 24/2.8, 35/2.0, 135/3.5 (FLs I don't have for Canon)
3. Blackbird, Fly (just in case - is small, weighs nothing, and fits in my Canon 35 case)
4. Nikonos, 35/2.5 (I hear that you can actually go jump in a lake in Michigan...and I also fully expect to run into some summer rainstorms at some point along the way.)
4. M645 kit - 2 bodies (1 plain, one 1000S), 55mm, 80mm (for hand held color)
5. RZ kit - 2 bodies, 65, 110, 210 APO (For tripod shots. I was unexpectedly offered the second body, the 65, and the 210 by a friend last night, so what the hell!)
6. Mamiya Press kit - Super 23/6x9, Universal/Polaroid (only bringing these to loan them to a friend in Chi Town)
I pack light.
In the past, the *only* items I have brought but not used on such trips have been 1. My Sunpak, and 2. The Blackbird, Fly. Everything else gets used...or else I just would not bring it.
