In another recent setup is a small Tamrac bag (model 3535) I have Nikon 6006, AF Nikkor 24mm, UV filter, and 2 extra rolls of film. Basically my P&S setup.

My bag contents change over the course of the week. Today I packed my Canon 7D along with my Canon F-1 (original), Minolta SR-T 102 with a 58/1.4, and a Konica Auto S2. Who knows what tomorrow will call for...

Back pocket: 35mm film 4 rolls of HP5+ 3 rolls of FP4 and various rolls of fujicolor 200asa which is expired and I got for nothing and 120mm two rolls of HP5+ and one Ilford Delta 3200. cleaning cloths, blower, a few cable releases and some plastic cases for exposed 120 film.

Central section:strangely my two stalwarts are on the shelf and it's firstly a Nikon F75 (my back up body) with 24mm f/2.8D lens and sporting a light blue graduated cromofilter and holding expired colour film. Secondly Konica Auto S3 rangefinder with dark yellow filter, hood and HP5+

Very strange. This thread briefly turned into a rabbit hole. Might be okay now.

When I'm on the move doing street photography I usually just carry my Pentax 67 with 75 f/2.8 attached. For a long journey I usually take all the following in a shoulder bag/carry on luggage piece
P67II Body w/ 75 f/2.8
Either 45 f/4 or 55 f/4
165 f/2.8
Canon EOS rebel, 50 1.8
Hoya 81A (82mm for the 45)
R72 for infrared with the EOS
Plus-X or FP4, a roll of Tri-X, some Velvia, and some old film that probably is discontinued.
If I have extra room I take my little digisnapper, but usually I use my phone as my digicam

The usual, everyday Crumpler bag:

Black Nikon F2 Photomic with a Nikkor-H 50/2, yellow filter, loaded with HP5+ mostly. An AR-2 cable release and an extra roll or two in the outer pocket. That's it and that's that. Let's go photograph something! :smile:

I have my Holga, Trip 35, a Canon flash, off-shoe cable, a light meter, some lenses and a camera and some accessories I will not mention here...

Just got my new bag and upgraded my setup a bit. I carry this in my bag at the moment:

Canon EOS 5D Mark II (evil, digital friend)
Canon 24-105 f/4L
Canon 85 mm F/1.8
Canon 580 EX II speedlite
Canon 450 EX II speedlite
Off-camera flash cord
Lightmeter
Holga 120N
2 Gary Fong diffusors for the flashguns (great things!)
Manfrotto 055XPROB and 498RC2 tripod and head
Memory cards
Batteries
120 B/W film (mainly Tri-X or other ISO320-400 film)
A laptop and portable harddrive.
My Canon EOS 30 (Elan 7E) is sometimes included as well

Not awfully analog anymore, but the Holga is always with me.

These first two bags I nearly always keep at home:

Bag #1:
Canon 15mm Fisheye

Canon 50mm F1.2L
Canon 85mm F1.8

Canon 16-35L F2.8
Canon 24-70L F2.8

This bag I take on shoots:
Canon EOS 5D Mark I DSLR, 8gb card

Never more then three total lenses, and which lenses I take are dependent upon what I'll be shooting. Nine times out of ten I bring just 2 primes.

My main camera bag (a store-brand photo backpack) was becoming a catch-all. It took me longer to UNLOAD all the gear I didn't want to carry that day, so I stopped carrying a bag and would only carry one camera body and one lens.

Now I've switched everything into a wheeled toolchest, the red metal kind with the shallow drawers. Now all my gear is organized and accessible, and all my camera bags are empty.

That backpack is still my most-used bag, and I typically load it with an MZ-S, a K10D, a Sigma 24-135, Pentax 50/1.4, Sigma 24/2.8, Nikon SB-26 and SB-28, flash bracket, a roll of Ektar 100, Arista II (APX 400) and Superia 400, extra K10D batteries, circ pol for the 24-135 and 50, yellow filter for the 50.

I normally use a billingham f4.5 bag with my Rolleicord Vb, lens-shade, several filters for bw and a gossen sixtomat lightmeter. For certain purposes I have a bilora bag with an Rolleicord Va, lens-shade and a hama selenium lightmeter.

Do Canon lenses tend to reproduce themselves if you keep two or more together?
