Fridtjof Posted September 4, 2017 Share #1 Posted September 4, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I don't think this has been covered, although we have bag threads, strap and handgrip threads, accessory threads, hood threads (pun unintended), lens cap threads, and others..... I'm not asking about bodies or lenses either. What's in your walkaround kit or bag? (I'm also not referring to your main travel bag or whatever, which probably has charger(s), cables, computer, backup stuff, spare lens cap and body cap, full cleaning kit etc- Thorsten Overgaard's excellent full travel kit is here.) My walkaround kit is: EVF spare SD card microfibre cloth Whibal card circular polariser plastic shower cap for emergency protection (camera, not head) slip of paper with name/address/phone number/email address hat (can double as lens shade) (intangible) insurance In my (day) rucksack (mostly for landscapes): spare (charged) battery tripod cable release more cleaning stuff, though not often used variable ND filter macro adaptor proper dry bag for dire rain events and river crossings (jaapv's suggestion) a small/obsolete SD card with the latest firmware. something like a nylon bag with drawstring (which can be filled with rocks) which can be hung under the centre of the tripod to stabilise it Anything else?

Advertisement Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Hi Fridtjof, Take a look here What's in your bag? (Not a new bag thread!). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
david strachan Posted September 4, 2017 Share #2 Posted September 4, 2017 Used to do the bag thing. Now a camera, one lens and fully charged battery...a fine strap..it becomes part of me. If i see an image way off, or a wide-angle, too bad...not the end of the world. ;-)) ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmars Posted September 4, 2017 Share #3 Posted September 4, 2017 The major thing is the camera with a lens. Take Your camera with Yor favorite lens and go shooting (evtl. with a spare battery ir it lasts a whole day). So do I in these days in the US (LA, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, San Francisco). I bet, Your photos will be better than with a full bag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soden Posted September 4, 2017 Share #5 Posted September 4, 2017 Camera - Check Lens - Check Battery - Check SD Card - Check Good Shoes - Check Hmmm What's in my bag today is similar to this except the shoes... they tend not to be in my bag... I usually wear them. But what is in my bag depends on the environment which I am shooting. Landscapes are different than let's say an event. I can't give you a list because it's too fluid.

Mute-on Posted September 4, 2017 Share #10 Posted September 4, 2017 Travel bag Billingham L2 with shoulder pad/Hakuba backpack with camera compartment and side access M2 with 35 Summaron MP 0.58 with 28 Elmarit M ASPH JCH 5 X 35mm film container + films loaded in each body Sekonic L-308 Cura cleaning fluid and disposable lens wipes Spare batteries for MP - one set Spare AA battery for Sekonic Japanese Tengui cloth - folded under bag lid (Billingham only) Day bag I haven't got one, really. I put one body and mounted lens in a Crumpler Pleasure Dome or Haven, and put that in a carry bag or just drop it in the back seat of the car. I don't use a shoulder strap as I find them unwieldy. This does mean I have to carry a bag, though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nowhereman Posted September 4, 2017 Share #11 Posted September 4, 2017 Yawn. This thread is like starting a posting and saying. "this morning I went out and came back in the evening." Who cares? Post an exciting picture, discuss photographers like Micheal Ackerman, or ask questions on a problem with your camera gear. But this...? If this is what interests you, you'd better worry about the mental health of your spouse or partner. Really? Nothing more interesting in your photography life? _________________ Alone in Bangkok essay on BURN Magazine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

honcho Posted September 4, 2017 Share #18 Posted September 4, 2017 I am being polite: it was a polite yawn, to stave off terminal boredom... Your need to point out your boredom is boring. I found myself clicking on the OP's link to someone's blog and immediately asked myself why I was wasting my life on that crap and closed the page. This stuff is important to some, not to you, not to me, but let's live and let live. I had to look up Michael Ackerman. He is an interesting photographer, so this thread has achieved something beyond boredom. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't disagree, many newbies don't understand that the bag or its contents don't really change between M models. Film vs sd card, is about it, maybe a light meter... so yes this is pretty much a generic question, but so is BEOON thread, and any what is your favorite lens on the M. Mods have not moved them to the appropriate forum (historical and lens forums respectively) so I doubt they will for this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
