What's in your camera bag?

bluezed · 02-21-2012, 07:11 PM

A noob in photography. I thought I'll be able to find enough time to really dabble in photography but never did.

Inside my bag (at least what I can remember):

Nikon D90
Nikkor 50mm f/1.8
Nikkor 18-200mm VR (first version)
Nikkor 12-24mm f/4
Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control
Hoya CPL 72mm
Hoya CPL 77mm

and other misc items

My Bag:
Nikon D700
Nikon D300
Canon G12
Lenses: 11-18mm, 60mm macro, 50mm 1.4, 24-124 zoom, 70-300mm zoom.
I still have a great bag of 35mm stuff too, two Nikon FA's with motordrives, and many Nikkor lenses. My Vehicle plate is "ISO 3200" which is the fastest ISO on my D300. D700 gose up to ISO 6400, but I didn't have it when I got the plate (no one did) and it's a sexier number anyway.

Okay i'll bite...

Canon EOS 450D - XSI

EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS
EF 50mm f/1.4

58mm Circular Polarizer - Hoya
58mm UV Filter - Hoya

Any suggestions for possibly upgrading? I'm sort of at a loss as to what's next. Or maybe that's a good sign to stop

HKYStormFront · 04-20-2012, 03:45 PM

used 50 or 60D would be a good start.

ordered my pelican 1510 w/ lid organizer yesterday, should be here monday! i'm going to be traveling with bkleeman's race team so having a carry on case is a must. no way i want to trust the airline not to loose my camera bag.

Why is an Ex-Pro using a crap 18-200 lens? I realize all in one is kinda nice... but ewww.

He's probably come to the realization that you don't need to spend tons of $$$ to achieve truly great photos.

I did industrial/oilfield work typically. Nothing fancy or glamourous

The lens cost me $25 more than the body alone... no brainer

I am actually quite impressed with the basic lenses. I really do miss my Zeiss and Leicaflex lenses, not to mention my old Mamiyas.... but those days are gone for me!
