OK, Denton, I'm coming out of the "gearhead" closet too. Surprised?
Here's what I'm dragging along on my 2 week trip to Hawaii next month:(my
first time there)
Tachihara 4x5 field camera. Kodak ready load holder. About 120 sheets of
ready load film, both B&W and E-6, both Fuji and Kodak. 4x5 lenses, all
Nikkors (cause they're cheaper than the German lenses): 65/4; 90/8; 135/5.6;
210/5.6; 300/8 (Giving a range, in 35mm terms, of appx 24 to 100 mm).
Pentax digital spotmeter. Assorted filters.
Two OM-4Tis; one OM-1 (loaded with Kodak HIE with a #25 filter taped between
the film rails); one OM-2000. Zuiko lenses: 16/3.5 fisheye; 21/2; 28/2;
35-80/2.8; 50/1.2; 90/2 macro; 65-200/4; 180/2.8; 350/2.8; 1.4x; Vivitar
auto tubes (3). F-280, T32, T20, T8 flashes. ounce Grip 2. Two Motor drives,
one winder. Assorted filters. Bunches of slide film, couple HIE, couple SFX
200, some Kodak 400 CN.
One Super trekker backpack, one large Tamrac shoulder bag.
Gitzo carbon fiber pod w/ Arca Swiss B-1 head.
Bogen monopod (for hiking and stalking with the 350/2.8).
11 yr old daughter brings her Stylus Epic, wife brings IS-3. She's drooling
over the B300, so probably that too.
It may be a disease, but the medicine feels good.
Ain't it great!
