Camera Bag What's in my Camera Bag unpacked view > My
Bag 2What's in My Camera bag < packed View > So What's in My Camera
bag ? Well First off the bag . A LowePro Photo Trekker AW and what's inside
(1) F5 body with a MF-28 Databack which give me the option of data
imprinting on and between frames , Bracketing and a dozen other options
and of course a Clock.. I use the NM-30 Battery Packs + I always
carry a spare AA holder with Lithium's for back up .. Lenses : Nikkor 16 mm f2.8 Fisheye.
Great and Unusual 180 degree view .. Nikkor 24 mm f2.8 Wide
angle A Nice Lens for Landscape work.. Nikkor 28-70 f2.8 AFS zoom
- This is my all time Favorite lens in the whole bag Also the sharpest
Lens i Own . Nikkor 50 mm f1.4 - The
All around Lens for General Shooting .. Nikkor 105 mm f2.8 micro
- This Lens Will Reproduce a exact 1:1 ratio in size Great for Close up
Work Where Detail is a must .. Nikkor 80-200 f2.8 AFS
zoom My 2nd Favorite Lens in the bag , No its not any faster than The 2
Touch 80-200mm But it does have MUCH better glass and is much Sharper With
the Extra Ed Glass This Lens has Over the Last Models . Nikkor 400 mm f2.8 This
Lens is a beast and it is Huge. Weighs in at a "light" 15 lbs with The
F5 attached it comes in at just over 16 Lbs .Overall Sharpness is Great
even with the Tc-14e or the Tc-20e Attached , Combining the Tc-14e &
the Tc-20e together Image quality does suffer to a point . This works out
to 1360 mm f9.6 the camera will only read this at f5.6 . I
Modified the Tc-14e to couple to the Tc-20e , you do have to go to
the A mode to use this or to full Manual , BTW : the Autofocus does still
work quite well in Bright Light , Of course a Tripod is a must as well
along with a remote cord like the Mc-20 at this focal length any movement
will show up as camera shake .. Strobes / Flashes are a
SB-26 and a SB-28 a SD-8a Power pack , and the SU-4 TTL remote . Tripods are Bogen .. Film : Fuji Ms 100/1000
slide, Velvia 100 slide and Agfa ultra 50 , Agfa 100, 400 Print, Kodak P3200-6400 B&W
great for low light / night shooting , and Kodak C-41 Process B&W . Not shown in the
Picture .. and Used for Most of the Camera pictures. The Very Impressive
