Camera(s) ..Lenses...Chargers...Batteries..mini-computer...and the like on my back , does make me take a Good Hard Look at how to...it takes me several weeks to assemble my long Haul outfit, I kid you Not !
Although I carefully plan meticulously, still, I encounter situations Unthought of, 11/2 year ago in the Philippines , I zip-lined...climbed a small mountain..got lost in a Large Dark Eerie neighborhood , while having my d3s with 55 f1.2...pc28 f3.5...20 f2.8... two flashes...Bessa L with Heliar f4.5...Charger ..4 en-EL4a...paraphernalia ( film..two flashes....Lunasix F ..etc. )...all in a LowePro AW slingback..., smartphone in shirt pocket...moving about in 30 C plus.
Although it was to be a Photo Safari , I can Assure you that it was not always what I had in mind...
Every gram counts,...Nikon coming out with something that is Different and yet the Same will only add to items adding Weight and Craving space , and will drive some photogs to other makes...I for one, have found stuff to Replace some of my photographic Nikon Equipment , actually already , most of my photo`s are taken with non-nikon equipment, Not that I have given up on Nikon, it`s Application is just Delegated to Special jobs.
I have just Invested in a TENBA roller/backback to Hold my D3x or D3s ...Angle Finder...PC-E 24 f3.5...pc 28 f3.5 ...PC-E micro 85 f2.8...55 f1.2..TC201...TC16B...mebbe the 14-24 f2.8 or 20 f2.8 ( undecided yet )...MH21...four en-el4...Bessa L & Heliar 15 f4.5..
That`s for now, in a day or so the outfit could be different....
