Thom must have just bought a Mack Truck for his daily carry. LOL.
I'll stick to my M6 and Voighty 35/2.5 lens.😀😀

Thom is obviously a bigger and stronger dude than I am, or he has a mule just like Ansel.

I'm just carrying my FED-2 so no strain in my life either 🙂

Just because he owns it all doesnt mean he carries it all at once.

Go back & read the note, but for a pro on assignment that's not too much gear is it?

As for what I'm carrying day to day as a struggling artist 😉 It's my Bessa R & CV35/2.5 plus a few rolls of b&w film.

Um, interesting, but does it really matter what HE is carrying?

 

[bgb]

It doesn't matter what he is carrying ... it just seems like a lot of stuff to us ordinary folk 🙂

 

[kbg32]

Don't sell yourself short. He's "ordinary folk" too.

Greg,

Depends on the assignment. I've done so large events in the past, and never needed that many cameras and lenses for a shoot, but often had several boxes of studio strobes and light modifiers for them (softboxes, umbrellas, etc.). Usually I had a 35mm or digital body with 24, 28, 35, 50, and 85mm lenses. Sometimes I'd take medium format, depending on the job. I've done many shoots where your Bessa and 35/2.5 would have been the only thing needed, and I carried something similar (an OM-4T and 35mm or 50mm Zuiko). Just depends.
