My bag

20091207_eibergen_005Even 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).
