Shel,

        Shooting for me is a two stage effort.  My main camera bag contains
just about everything I need.  It is the one that I know I just need to put
camera and lenses into and I can travel internationally.  I tend to have a
fanny pack that I cart the cameras and lenses for going around.  The only
additionals in that one are pens and paper for getting peoples names who may
want copies, batteries and film.  The lens cloth is always on my person.

        As for my camera bag, it contains:

        Spare batteries (camera and flash)
        Light meter - with manual and accessories
        Kodak Grey card
        Cable release
        Pens and pencils
        Note pad or small slips of paper
        Small flashlight
        Swiss Army knife
        Leatherman knife
        Compass
        Assorted mints and gum
        Ear plugs (for travelling on puddle-jumpers)
        Standby lens cloth (main one [Pentax] always on me)
        Coins for battery slot (Belizean quarter and Honduran 50 cent piece
at the moment)
        Lumiquest attachment for flash - can't recall last time I used it
        Blower brush
        Battery tester
        GPS (when I travel outside the country)
        Ends of different types of film boxes since I usually carry film
outside their boxes

        This is all from memory, I may have forgotten a thing or two.  One
thing I tend to do whenever I travel internationally, I tend to have a
reasonable change of clothing and a toothbrush in it in case my luggage gets
delayed.

                        No wonder I don't cart my Tamrac bag around too
much,

                                                C�sar Matamoros II
                                                Panama City, Florida
