All I can say is some people carry a lot! When I go out usually carry just
one body, 1-3 lenses, one on the camera and the others in my pockets or a
small case, an extra roll of film or two, and a few filters. If you count
what is usually in my pockets, there is some money, a keychain light, a
small swiss army knife, and car keys (good for prying things). Of course,
if I was doing this as a job I would definently change my tune - atleast 2
bodies, most of my lenses, flash, lens cleaning cloth, extra batteries,
etc. If I'm going on vacation or something like that I will bring most, if
not all, of my equipment with me on the trip, but when I actually go out
shooting I'm not going to haul it all around.
