Show your bag (with contents)!

You must have a filing system, a warehouse, an assistant, a sherpa, a maintenance service, a backup and emergency protocol, a healthy life style, a good rapport with customers and a keen eye.

So, what are your hobbies?

Define hobby?

@M.V.
Love the orange and grey colour scheme of your bag. Makes it easier to spot stuff than grey on grey.

Here is a F-Stop Medium Slope ICU. I chose the medium slope as the Medium Shallow ICU because I could not find a way to effectively use the space.

My beloved veteran Billingham Hadley Pro. Best camera bag I've owned; so good I recently bought another for my MFT cameras. I like this because the canvas strap is very comfortable, the bag sits naturally on my hip and lets me get to any of the contents with one hand. This one contains:

Fuji X-T1 with Arca-Swiss bracket
Fuji X100T
35mm f1.4
18mm f2
55-200mm f3.5-4.8
Samyang 8mm f2.8 fisheye
Godox 350 flash and trigger
Lee Seven5 filter holder, rings and filters
Four batteries for X-T1
Four batteries for X100T
Cleaning kit

When I need to, it will also hold a MacBook Air and an iPad mini. It's a real TARDIS.

@MichaelSewell Only three lenses?

@MichaelSewell Only three lenses?

I'm covered from 12-150mm at f2.8 with a 25mm f1.2 if needed.
I think I've shot wider tha 24mm on FF on a couple of occasions in 40 years.
I have the 1.4 converter if I need a little more reach.

But if I were to be brutally honest, the 12-40mm is used 98% of the time.

Sorry, cannot resist: went climbing today to field-test the LowePro Whistler bag shown in my previous post. This thing is just great, very comfortable to carry, and fits some food and clothes inside as well. And with some effort I could even pack my Phantom Pro 4 drone setup in (leaving the photo gear at home, of course).

Here's my caving buddy, posing with the bag for the shot.

I'd have to ask the same question if that's an event bag. I have 24-200 f/2.8 & 4 for events just to cover the range with backups.

Events? Phhhht!

My work is commercial, but has been varied across 40yrs, including sports and much more.

And bear in mind, this is only one of my bags.

Pretty much all of my professional work has been events and I learned pretty early on, backups. Worked a wedding as a second and the primary thought "Small simple wedding, I'll just bring a small bag." Start of the reception his flash started giving him problems, he was using Canon and I use Nikon, so no help there. He spent a good hour, hour and half trying to figure out what was wrong. He was even on the net searching. Ended up playing the manual flash settings game, but since it seemed like he hadn't done that before ...... Even as a second I have backups.
