My bag's way too full: Nikon F4 body Nikon F3 body Nikon D-100 Body Nikkor 24 2.8, Non-AF Nikkor 35 2.0, Non-AF Nikkor 35-70 3.3 - 4.5 AF (cheap) Nikkor 105 Micro, AF Nikkor 70-210 4.0 (old style - stays at f4 - great lens) Nikkor 300ED 4.0 AF Sigma 400 5.6, NON-AF Tamron 19-35 3.5 - 4.5 AF Nikon SB25 Flash Pentax Digital Spot Meter Nikon PK11A, PK13 and PN11 extension tubes Nikon 5T and 6T Close-Up Diopters Vivitar 2x Macro Focusing teleconverter (strictly for close-up work) FlashTrax Digital Wallet (30 gig) Micro Apollo Flash Light Tent home-made macro flash assorted reflectors and diffusers table-top tripod (x2) to hold said reflectors Filters (warming, polerizer, UVs when needed, split ND) The Last Grey Card (with crumpled foil on the back - good small reflector) digital stopwatch (for long exposures) small flashlight Swiss Army knife (use the scissors for "selective gardening" and weed removal Small diffusion umbrella (with home-made waterproof additional covering for rain) A cheap shower cap (best thing in the world to snap over a camera on a tripod when shooting in wet situations) Several Nikon cable releases (not being a Nikon snob - but they're the best releases I've found! You can literally tie them into a knot and they still work smooth!) first aid kit small toolkit emergency tent, matches, flares, candles, etc. (have actually had to use the tent once!) All stuffed into a Lowe-Pro Super Trekker Backpack Also Bogen 3020 tripod (center column sawed off) with Bogen 3038 ball Head Benbo (I don't remember the model) tripod with a smaller Bogen ball head (and yes, I actually DO take all this crap with me on a shoot - then scale it down a bit when in a more remote field) Film preference: Fuji Velvia for the vast majority, Fuji Provia for wildlife Well - you asked! :)
