Answer 1

Film?

Answer 2

Right.

I carry seven Nikon D3's, four D300s, a dozen Leicas, a 1200 f2.8, a 2mm f0.2, an Ansel Adams signed Horseman, 78 rolls of Ektachrome, 300 4Gb cards, a complete set of Alien Bees lights and a lens I stole off the Hubble Telescope.

And you tell young people this and they won't believe you.

Answer 3

depends i dont take out the D5 much nowadays.......only for top jobs, had gear stolen awhile ago and the excess on my insurance is terrible now, so my top gear sits in a lock up now

ok i carry 2 digi bodies, 1 film body, a 17-35mm 2.8, a 400mm, a 50mm, a 18-55 kit thing, and a 75-300 kit thing, a 12-24mm

filters-----ND , polarisers -linear and circular, two flashes , a flash bracket, sync cables, micro fibre clothes, blower brushs, compressed air, close up filters, benbo or slik tripod, yellow filter, red filter, blue filter, 2x teleconvertor

serveral rolls of tranparencies, memory cards, spare batteries - for flash and digi + film bodies

other stuff on occasions, the laptop is in the car

they fit into one of my Lowepro backpacks

often i take lights to shoots also - and the gels etc

my bronica got stolen so now i hire mediums if needed, most jobs a simple tool will do it for me.........


EDIT: as some clients (like magazines) require transparencies i would be a fool to throw my film gear away.....film is about the "look"
