It's funny that photographers ditched their Speed-Graphics for a Nikon F or M3 with maybe three or four lenses because it was so much lighter. Now they are still using 35mm sized cameras but take everything except the kitchen sink. Maybe the could take a lead from Ansel Adams and invest in a good pack-mule to carry their equipment.
