What photographic equipment you usually bring when traveling?

mardock · Jan 19, 2013

my maiden voyage with my dslr setup in June.
should be as follows.

Nikon D300 with MB-D10
Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8
2 x 4GB CF

Hopefully I can get a UWA DX lens before I go.

All carried in a Lowepro bag.

I travel in a 38' motorhome so space is not a problem. I usually have 2 Yashica TLRs, 3 Pentax SLR bodies (2 autofocus) 2 28-80, a 70-300, 400 tele + 2X converter, a couple of tripods, a monopod, fisheye adapter for the 28mm, at least 1 prime 50 & 28. Then I also carry an Olympus water resistant 7.1 MP digital and a Fuji 14 MP. I also have a refrigerator and freezer for my film. That is a long way from "all I have". I have everything I need handy.

Depends on where & how I'm travelling, and what the purpose of the travel is. Bare minimum is: Two bodies, 16-200mm coverage, one speedlight, CPOL, ND & G-NDs, tripod, rain cover, remote release.

Just for a day out, whatever I can fit in the diaper bag. (aka, not much)

For a bigger trip - when it's worth it to pack a separate bag just for the gear ...
D40
Spare battery, and charger
Couple memory cards
18-55 kit lens
70-200 lens
2x and .5x converters
macro converters
polarizing filter
speedlite
IR remote (occasionally I want to be IN the shot too!)
Laptop w/card reader
The gear bag, and a backpack as well

Oh, and our P&S with its charger and memory card too.

I don't take tripod (or mono either). On family trips, no one wants to wait around for me to do my thing in one spot ... it's shoot on the fly, or not at all. Plus they take up a lot of space in our limited checked-bag allowance.
