This is the great thing about this list, it lets us understand how the other guy (and gal) does it. I never stop learning here. FWIW, here are my combinations, going from least amount carried, through to most. (only 1 body here until I sell my other kidney). 1. Camera+lens attached, wrist strap. Plain artist's canvas shoulder bag that takes same. Ideal for about town. 2. As above but with shoulder strap, and maybe an extra lens in vest pocket. Short country walk. 3. As above but minus canvas bag, Marmot Walkabout bumbag on a shoulder strap instead with 2 or three lenses aboard. Longer jaunts. 4. LowePro Reporter 600 with camera and 2 lenses, flash, Powerbook and accessories aboard. Out every day. 5. Lowepro Stealth backpack with camera and three or four lenses, flash, Powerbook and accessories. Day trip with computer access required. 6. Lowepro Mini-Trekker with camera and 6 lenses, 2 flash, accessories, mono or tripod. Day trip with no computer access required. 7. Longer trip - a week or more - combining number 4 or 5 with number 6 (two bags), with options on numbers 1, 2, and 3. <reads above> I need to get a life.
