I am hard pressed to afford one set of gear, two sets would be completely out of reach. At my last visit to car racing, one lad had what I think was a Sony... It was a tiny camera, the lad told me it was full frame, he uses it almost exclusively for video. He had a Pele? case full of very fast, top Canon lenses which he uses on the Sony via an adaptor. It appeared to be mirrorless, basically a sensor on the back of the lens. In the building/construction trade lightweight gear is useless/rubbish. I have grown accustomed to working with heavy gear all my life and consider the D3 and a 2.8 Nikkor to be featherweight in comparison with a 90Lb rock drill leaping about trying to do it's own thing, or lifting a half ton beam in by hand on my own. I accept it can get a bit heavy after walking 9 miles back and forth all day round a circuit but it keeps me fit, some people pay thousands of £ to lift weights in a gym, or ride a bike bolted to the floor, which I see as about as pointless as it gets.
