The problem, as I see it, is that when you pack too much gear along
with you, the tendency is to over analyse everything.
As often as possible, I will go out with one camera and one lens.
Sometimes it'a wide angle, sometimes a normal, sometimes a
telephoto, but always just one lens.
I find it to be a good exercise in seeing.
Been doing that forever. On my trip, I carried six lenses so that I'd
have the options ... but I don't think I ever went out with more than
three of them at a time. And I much more normally carry the camera
with one lens fitted and one in a different range in the bag, to
accommodate possible change of mood while I'm out taking pictures.
