What's In Your Camera Bag?

[Josh66]

Which one?

I just bought a new one that is currently empty. I sort of plan on keeping it empty and using to put stuff from my other bags into as needed so I don't have to take everything with me every time.

It will be my smallest bag yet, and that was the point of buying it.

I have one bag with all of my Canon 35mm stuff, one with all of my Minolta 35mm stuff, one with all of my medium format stuff, and one with all of my lighting stuff. And now an empty one that I can use to take just a body and a lens or two.

Yeah i have a bag for all my Canon 35mm stuff too, an old Lowepro (The waterproof cover is useful) with my T70, body, lens(fitted, or on top in the bag, if its long) + body cap(s), 2 rolls of film and AA batteries. I generally dont change lenses on the go, but may take a small one on the body and lay a tele across the top of the bag if i need it.

Everything is in the truck. When I leave the truck I generally carry one body c/w lens of choice on a cotton carrier, and flash, filters, spare batteries and cards and perhaps second lens in the pockets of a vest.

What bag I'm using is determined by what I'll be shooting. I currently have six bags right now.

But, since you asked "What's in your bag?", that suggests the present.

I'm driving to Ft. Myers tomorrow to shoot a "global meeting" of a medical instrument company. I'll be leaving the Lowepro backpacks and slings here and will, instead, be using my Tamrac CyberPro Express. It currently contains:

Canon 5D w/grip
Canon 40D w/grip
Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L
Canon 24-70 f/2.8L
Canon 85mm f/1.8
Canon 580 EX II (two of those)
Canon ST-E2 Transmitter
Canon G12
BP-511 Batteries (eight of those)
CF Cards (eight of them, varying from 4GB to 16GB)
Battery charger for BP-511 (two of those)
Battery charger for NB-7L (G12 battery)
Toshiba laptop
Flash drives (six total)
Notebook
Business cards

I'll also drag a tripod around with me...
