Even though the quality of the pictures is largely determined by the photographer, people always want to know “what’s in the bag”.
I’m a Canon-user. Not because Canon is better (it could be cheaper though…), but mainly because my second SLR was a Canon 300 (the first one was a Ricoh). As I already had some Canon lenses, it was for me the easiest choice to get a Canon dSLR (EOS 350D) when I changed to digital. And so far I haven’t regretted it.
This is what’s in the bag at the moment:
- Canon EOS 1D mark IV
- Canon EOS 5D mark III
- Canon EOS c100 mark II (video camera)
- (Canon EOS 5D mark II)
- (Canon EOS 40D)
- Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM
- Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM
- (Canon EF 300mm f/4.0 IS USM)
- (Sigma 180mm f/3.5 macro)
- Canon EF 100mm L f/2.8 IS Macro
- Canon EF 17-40mm L f/4.0 USM
- Canon EF 8-15mm L f/4.0 USM
- Canon EF-s 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM
- Canon 1.4x convertor type II
- Canon 2.0x converter type III
- a 5-in-1 reflector
- Lee filter set (ND grad and big stopper)
- Swarovski 10×42 binoculars
- Atomos Blade
- Røde Stereo Video mic
- Røde Video mic pro
- Zoom H4n sound recorder
- heaps of memory cards
- spare batteries
- spare food
- a small bottle of vodka (for the cold moments, or to celebrate good pictures)
And outside the bag:
- Gitzo GT2220 explorer tripod with a GH2750QR off-centre ballhead
- Gitzo GT3542LS carbon tripod with a G2380 fluid head
- Manfrotto 679B monopod
- a beanbag filled with rice
And the bag itself is a Gura Gear Kiboko 30L backpack (though the pictures shows my old Lowepro Vertex 200AW backpack).
