Photo Luggage … All I need is a Sherpa
This weekend, I’m going on a business trip to the UK, Germany and France for about 17 days, and getting my photo gear ready. I’ve picked up a few new pieces of glass and needed a larger bag, so I went with a roller carry-on for it all and will put my clothes in checked luggage. The photo luggage I went with is a Manfrotto Roller Bag 70 that I got at Unique Photo in Fairfield, NJ – it fits all the assorted crap I am going to be taking with me:
- Nikon d610 body
- Tamron 28-300 f/3.5-6.3 Di VC PZD – main walk about
- Nikon 50mm f/1.4G — nifty fifty
- Nikon 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G
- Nikon 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G
- Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 II DG HSM
- Sigma 15mm f/2.8 EX DG Fisheye
- Personal Macbook Pro
- Work MS Surface
- External Hard Drive(s)
- AC converters
- Lens cleaner and cloths
- Assorted cords, chargers, wall plugs, batteries, tape, etc
- Giottos Vitruvian Tripod / Monopod strapped on the front of the bag
While I’m taking the latter two Nikon lenses this go ’round, I am probably going to be using the Tamron as my main this trip to test it out and compare it to the other two… The Sigmas are for some specific uses that I hope work out … fingers crossed.
Fully packed, the gear bag looks pretty good:
If I could get my ‘normal’ luggage as organized as my photo luggage, I’d be golden!
