this is what I currently bring :
d3
d300
f370-200 2.8 main lens for d300
28-70 2.8 – main lens for d3
105 macro – used for details and some portraits
85 1.4 – dark churches + some portraits
12-24 f4 – interiors and large groups if needed.sb800 * 2
su800light modifiers, batteries, memory and such.
Too much really. I’m hoping to move to a one body + 2 lens approach ASAP.
My bag(s) would be very similar to EAS
D3 with 24-70 F2.8
D200 * 2 – One with 80-200 F2.8, The other with 85 F1.8
Sigma 12-24 wide angle
SB800 * 2 & SB600
Two light stands, one white brolly, one silver brolly, two GF lightspheres
Plenty of AA batteries & approx 24gb in CF cards
Copy of public liability insurance cert – just in case of any “jobsworths”Most of the above would never be used – have worked out that 80% + of my shots would be with the D3 & 24-70 and occasional bounced flash. Although did a wedding in Slane Castle the other week and most of my shots were internal due to our “sunny” weather so the stands and off camera flashes used for quite a lot of shots.
Had planned to cut to one backup – D700 with 80-200 f2.8 – but current recession has dictated otherwise !!
