That sounds rather far from "traveling light" to me. :-) - I only carry backup bodies/lenses if I'm traveling on a paid shoot.
- Traveling light to me is one body, one to three small prime lenses. For years that's been some approximation of 21-28, 35-50, and 90-135 mm equivalent FoV in terms of lens choices. - If I want to carry a film body in addition, it's either a body that can be used with the same lenses, a Polaroid (either SX-70 or Spectra), or something specialist like the Hassy SWC. But that immediately puts me out of the 'traveling light' domain. - I often carry a tripod or at least my favorite ball head to use with borrowed legs. My littlest travel set stays in the traveling light mode, but the larger set moves me out of that zone. Godfrey On Sep 2, 2014, at 9:29 AM, "P.J.
