What do you bring with you?

  • What do you bring with you when you go out for a day of shooting?

    I now take to much stuff with me,
    today I took over 15 roles of film
    2 :camera: 35mm and a digital camera
    6 lenses and so on....

    Now I did not use 1/2 of it but I had it :roll: and only 2 roles of film :LOL:


  • 15 rolls of film??
    wow nikon, where are u living that you see that much stuff? lol

    i generally take my EOS, 2 or 3 rolls and my digital
    my tripod stays in my car.

    ditto. eos, 2 rolls of film and tripod stays in the car just in case..

  • In a bag I have my camera, 2 sets of fresh batteries and an extra SM card. I also bring with me a USB cable just in case I happen to go to a friends house and use the computer.

    The funnies thing in the bag is an eyepatch. :)

    Yes sometimes I use it. Kinda tiring peeping through the viewfinder for a long time. Gives me a headache.


  • depends on my mood - usually I don't like to haul lots of stuff around... So most of the time my cam with one lens (also depending on my mood :roll: ) a pol filter, sometimes a spare battery and a 2nd memory card... that's it. tripod mostlikely for nightshots only...

  • This thread has been a great read!! I'm a film junkie.... when I am going on location for a real live photo shoot (wherever that me be - tooling around a new city, or in the mountains, etc) I get so pumped I want to have OPTIONS. :mrgreen:

    So I carry:
    *one old Pentax ME which will accept HIE infrared, and #25 red filters for the lenses...

    *my fun new rootiegazootie Pentax MZ-S

    *50mm, 135mm, 80mm and 20mm lens (and I need more...more...MORE!) :shock: Oh, excuse me....

    *2-3 rolls of HIE, maybe a token roll of Ilford SFX if I'm in an infrared state o' mind, 3-4 rolls of color slide film and maybe some good ol' TMax 100 to 400, depending on time of day

    *icky old too-heavy tripod is available if needed.

    All of the above fits neatly but tightly into my photo backback. I'll be happier with a lightweight tripod for the loop thingy. I love having all my stuff with me. Ain't no better way to travel!!

    That Rocks!!!! :lol:


  • usually its a bag of dorito's and a capri sun.

  • I think I speak for all the digital people, when I say that you non-digital'ers are funny! Carting around all those lenses and and rolls of film. Funny Funny Funny (but we won't get this thread side tracked about that will we now :) )

    For me, I'll take my Canon G5, the battery (hopefully obviously), and a 512meg CF Card. Lowepro "something" bag holds it all. and yeah, there you go.


  • Well, here's my gear, I usually put this in a Lowepro Nova 3 bag:

    Canon A-1
    FD 24mm f/2.8
    FD 50mm f/1.8
    FD 100mm f/2.8
    Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm f/2.8-4
    Canon Speedlite 199A
    Various filters and other crap
    Several rolls of film (HP5 Plus and FP4 Plus)

    Personally I'd rather use a 35mm lens than a 50mm lens, it's a better focal length for doing street photography IMO. I haven't had a chance to pick one up yet. I'm also after a Canonet rangefinder at the moment, I'd love to just go out with one little camera sometimes ;).


  • It depends. If I think a 50mm lens is all I need and want to travel light, my x370, 50mm and a roll or two for street stuff is all I take. Most people don't realize how versitale a 50mm is. Before zooms, that's all most people had.


  • I carry my camera bag, which always has the same stuff in it. except for film which changes all the time

    I've got my pentax zx-30 body
    a 28-80 lense
    a 100-300mm lense (both w/ protective filters)
    a flash
    a recently acquired set of close up filters
    and an assortment of film (at the moment I have 2 rolls 100, 1 roll 200, 1 roll 800, 1 roll 400 black and white, and a couple others in the depths of the bag somewhere)


  • Generally I take my 35mm, 3 lenses, digital camera and sometimes the yashicamat.


  • i usually take my digital cam on my neckstrap with the power on and ready to go :D .. wide angle lens (usually mounted on, i prefer wide) , 3 memory cards, and 4 spare batteries ... i never carry a tripod or rarely use it (although we have 3), its too restricting for me :? ...


  • I most always bring a tripod. Unless I know there is going to be plenty of light. I'm only steady enough to hand hold 1/30 shutter speeds with 50mm and less...


  • You film users are just so silly! All that excess baggage, Sheesh!

    For a day out i travel with my Digital (no 35 mm film jobby for me), 3 x XD 64MB memory cards, 4 spare NiMH AA batteries, 1 x tripod, 1 x mini tripod.

    For more than one day add 1 x laptop computer, 1 x USB cable, 1 x battery recharger and car adapter.

    See, there's no need to carry all those rolls of film! :lol:


  • I typically have my digital cam, lots of batteries, 2x128MB media, 1x64 media, 1.85x telephoto lens, a lens cloth, tabletop tripod and cleaning solution.

    For long trips, I pack my laptop, bigger tripod, and the other 1x64 mem card, more batteries and the batt charger.

  • If I have a specific project or job to do then I'll take the appropriate equipment, and maybe some back up stuff. I always take too much film and batteries, because I figure it's easy to carry compared to running to the film store in the middle of the shoot.

    When I'm out wandering around town or at a family get together or party I usually take one camera, my light meter, and plenty of film. I try to go light.

    When I'm out driving around looking for photos I'm usually hauling my landscape rig. This consists of:
    Speed Graphic camera
    150/265mm lens
    90mm lens
    dark cloth
    6 film holders (2 shots each)
    1 Grafmatic film holder (6 shots)
    light meter
    filter wallet, lens hoods, cable release, etc...

    All of this barely fits into a backpack; add a tripod to knock it up to 35 - 40 lbs, and photography isn't just a hobby, it's a workout.

    In addition to the landscape rig, I will usually have several other cameras in the car just in case.... One with color film (I usually shoot BW), and something for shooting handheld when I don't want to set up the Speed Graphic.

    I usually haul a lot more stuff than I really use, but sometimes it pays off. I have driven all day to a location that fires me up more than normal, and I end up shooting all the film I have. You never know, might as well be prepared.


  • I love just shooting with my 50mm lens. When I started it was all about my zoom and 28mm... Then I discovered how sharp and fast my 50mm lens was and it is my favorite (that and the 100mm macro)


  • I'm a sucker for taking as much as i can carry...

    I take it even it there is only the slightest chance i'll use it.

    Just recently i went into the city to take shots and only took 1 film my EOS10 and a tripod. I was regretting it as i missed heaps of oppourtunities and when i went back the next day the wind had picked up and i couldn't get the shots...

    oh well...

    I guess i kinda follow the boy scouts moto - "Be prepared"

    I'm starting to prioritise now, but i still like to be prepared (but me shoulders hurt afterwards)
