I have lightened my bag significantly by removing (selling off) one body and
two lenses. I sat and cogitated on it, and kept the better body and the two
most important lenses to me and let the rest of it go. Sure, I have narrowed my
options, but not a lot, and I'm actually more willing to grab the bag and head
out because it's so much lighter.
It's a tough call. Time to forego being able to cope with any and all
eventualities anytime and anywhere.
