the main problem... is not so much to know what to take with you ... but to
find the good bag...
not to photolike (for thieves), big enough, small enough...
I usually take a nova mini or nova 1 (lowepro)
with om3 or 4 depending on light an flash need
with 21/35/100
or 24/55/100
covers almost all needs...
I just discovered the new lowepro omni extremes serie... very intelligent
concept... the sport or extreme models are fine... access is simple and
quick... but a little bit bigger than the small nova's... means you end up
heavier...
What are the other solutions... (the market of photobags in Belgium is
almost Lowepro only...) ?
