What’s in my bag?

Photographers always seem to have a fascination with what other photographers have in their kit. Cameras, lenses, filters, bags and all the paraphernalia that goes along with it. So what’s in my bag, when I leave the studio?

My go-to travel bag

.mgl-tiles { display: none; } #mgl-gallery-63c94c2d5026a { margin: -2.5px; width: calc(100% + 5px); } #mgl-gallery-63c94c2d5026a .mgl-box { padding: 2.5px; } @media screen and (max-width: 768px) { #mgl-gallery-63c94c2d5026a { margin: -2.5px; width: calc(100% + 5px); } #mgl-gallery-63c94c2d5026a .mgl-box { padding: 2.5px; } } @media screen and (max-width: 460px) { #mgl-gallery-63c94c2d5026a { margin: -2.5px; width: calc(100% + 5px); } #mgl-gallery-63c94c2d5026a .mgl-box { padding: 2.5px; } }

When I travel I tend to carry a variety of lenses with me, depending on where I am going.

• Sony a7RIII
• Sony 16-35mm wide-angle
• Sony 90mm Macro
• Tamron 28-75mm (my workhorse)
• Pro-Master Travel Tripod
• MEIKE MK-320S Mini TTL
• ND Filters and filter attachment
• Remote trigger for long exposures — similar to this Vello one

Other things in my bag are spare batteries, a rain poncho, a small hand towel, a lens cleaning kit, and business cards (you never know who you might run into). I have a range of bags, all getting pretty old. But they need to be lightweight and comfortable. I prefer the backpack type myself. Waterproof and has room for everything without being too heavy. My favorite is this old Lowepro sports bag, I think this is similar to mine that is available today.

I also frequently have my second camera (also a Sony a7RIII) on a Black Rapid Metro sling strap.

So, that’s what’s in my bag. What about yours? Share it with us in the comments below!
