Just walking around I carry either my Yashica Electro 35 GSN or more likely, my Olympus trip 35 (with both I have a GAF memolite)

I've posted this pic before, the only change is I now carry a D3 and D1X or D300 w/grip instead of 2 D1X's. The case is a Pelican 1600.

Lenses generally include:
35-70 AF D f/2.8
14 AF D f/2.8
20 AF f/2.8
55 Micro MF f/2.8
35 AF D f/2.0
50 AF D f/1.4
85 MF f/2.0
105 MF f/2.5
15 MF f/2.8 full frame fish-eye
24-120 pre-VR non-G zoom
either 80-200 AF D f/2.8 or 300 AF-S f/4.0
2 batteries each camera
2 to 4 SB-800 speedlights
8 2 gig Extreme III CF cards
SC-29 cable
Gossin digital flash meter

Misc stuff: rechargeable AA batteries, polarizer filters each size for lenses carried, cross-hatch (starburst) filters, cable release, Tylenol, Bizz cards, exposure target card, earplugs, lens wipes, artist brush, and whatever else I think to cram in there.

Depending on the venue I may have another case of speedlights, batteries and cyclers and a third with Super-Clamps, cables, flash brackets and other misc. hardware.

And I couldn't forget the folding 2-wheeler to transport everything. Obviously, this is not my everyday rig. It's used for live performance venues where I may need to let a roadie schlep my gear in and out depending on the venue's union contract. For day to day I like a medium size Tamrac shoulder bag with most of the same, but only one body and most the MF glass left behind.
