I
did my first photos in China with
a domestic Nikon 301 with a 28-200 Zoom. I them moved
to a Nikon 801 with a Sigma 75 to 300 and this range of
focal length has been my favorite for about 10 years,
todate I have taken about 98% of my photos this a 75-300.
I
have gradated thro various camera bags form carrying three
801 bodies to Nepal to the bag below that I now have used
for about six years, it will hold a body & three lenses.
The
camera & Lenses with a` special lead lined box to
carry 56 rolls of 36exp, enough for 2016 exposures, it
has been a great system if one ignores the weight of the
film & box

I
moved over to Digital when the cameras were affordable
and were above 6 mil pixels. Also I was getting tired
of putting thye film seprately thro security and since
Sept 11 anything to get thro security easier need to be
considered. It is bad enough to have two steel knees and
the problem that causes. Above could be a days shoot and
it is obvious which anyone would rather carry. Add in
the advantage of editing every night and reusing the cards
it is a "easy vote" I save all my images in
the Raw format.

See
above the lead lining, this is a special product I found
in Chicago where the make products for the Xray business,
I purchased a part sheet. Then out of Perspex I made the
film containers which worked well when Security asked
me to open the box they could not see thro. See the stickers
I used to number the films in the order they were taken.
The total purpose of this box was to get security to do
a hand inspection. If you asked them often the said "Film
safe" and just sent the film thro. With this box
you said nothing and they asked YOU if they could do a
inspection. As soon as the say the lead they were happy,
it is the same as the lead hanging down on the Xray machines,
they hardly looked at the film they way it was presented.

The
EOS 33, 17-35 Sigmar & my 75-300 zoom lens
I
moved over to Canon when I want to improve the sharpness
of my images so I moved to Image Stabilization lenses
which Canon only had, even today they have the best range
of these lenses
|
Alll
of the above fits into the above bag, I have places a
EOS 33 beside the bag to give a idea of size.
