Basically everything I can fit. The Lowepro Nova 5 doesn't fit nearly as
much "junk" as the Compact AW but I can usually fit what I need. Generally
I'll take:
- Several rolls of film (of course),
- All my film "cards" (those little flaps off film boxes that I put on the back of
my K2 bodies to tell me what kind of film is in them),
- A small blower brush,
- My light meter if I'm using the RB67,
- A screwdriver and a pair of pliers,
- Cable releases (1x mechanical, 1x electronic),
- Filters (polarisers and 81A warming filters) which rarely get used,
- Lens hoods as applicable (one for 35mm/50mm and one for the 135mm),
- At least one Manfrotto hexagonal quick-release plate if applicable (the other
tends to live on the RB67),
- A couple of black (Kodak) film cannisters for used film,
- A couple of "mini-M&M's" containers for used 120 if applicable,
- A flash if applicable (not often),
- Spare battery for the Z-1p, and one for a K2 if I get around to buying it,
- A super-fine-tip permanent marker pen for writing on film cannisters,
- I will take a 2xAA maglite if I'm working in the dark,
- I like to actually remember my dark bag when I'm shooting panoramic
(unless I don't mind not being able to change the film),
- And whatever I've forgotten to list here :)
Cheers,
- Dave
