So
I said I was going to do a bag dump, with a little explanation.
Here
goes....
I
have several different kinds of 'kits', or variations on such,
depending on the situation or the job.
I
used to carry about 3-400 pounds of equipment that took 5+ trips to
the truck to bring in and cart around. YUCK! The past few years
have seen BIG changes in technology and cameras. I used to carry the
Nikon pro cameras, with their lenses, and all the trimmings.
Although I still love the Nikons, I have switched my pro use cameras
to the Sony Alpha series. Presently I use the Sony A7II and the Sony
A6000. INCREDIBLE cameras, but more of a review later...
