I have gotten so used to a loaded pack that anything less seems so light...
My bag usually consists of an *ist D, maybe an LX, and a 20mm., maybe a 17mm, a 24mm, a 31mm, a 50mm, a 77 or 85mm.
Of course an external flash and meter is required along with batteries, film, and cards...
After a weekend of carting I am really limber,

Who is going to carry all this stuff ? I don't want to have heavy load on my back the whole day. It is too heavy as it is.
What I have in the bag right now:
*ist D Pentax 16-45/4 - my "normal" lens Pentax 70-210/4-5.6 - squirrels and chipmunks Tamron SP90/2.8 - macro and portraits Pentax F50/1.7, for bugs, using stacked with Tamron Set of extension tubes - using with Tamron and F50/1.7 for bugs AF360FGZ flash - for bugs and to get rid of shadows in daylight 3 sets of batteries just in case. the rest of the stuff is light.
I will probably replace 70-210 with DA50-200 when it comes out but only if it is better optically. I am trying to have light and optically great at the same time, I can live with f5.6 in exchange for less weight, D has ISO200 minimum so that is much better than the film I was using before Velvia 50 at 40 and Astia 100 at 80.
I would like to have 400/5.6 in my bag for birds but I think that would be too heavy to carry all the time.

G'day David,
That just goes against the philosophy of enablement :-)
If it doesn't fit in the bag, get a bigger bag. If the bigger bag has to much empty space, get more stuff to fill it with.
It's a vicious cycle . <g>

I have Tamrac expedition 5 and everything has to fit inside. If it does not fit it is time to get rid of something. :)

I am as susceptible to gear lust as anyone, I suppose, but I can't get anything else because there is no more room in the bag! Larf!
