Waht do you carry around?

These are my camera bags and their contents.

The only thing missing is the camera I took the picture with. It's a Nikon D50 with a standard Nikon DX 18-55mm lens.

The bag on the left (the Nikon bag) is what I carry my digital in.

The contents are:
  • Nikon Nikkor 70-300mm lens with a Promaster 62mm UV lens filter.
  • Promaster expandable tripod.
  • Olympus Stylus Epic 35mm film camera.
  • Lomography Action Sampler 35mm film camera (the blue one)
  • x2 rolls Kodak 36 shot 400 iso Tri X B&W film
  • x2 rolls Fuji 36 shot 1600 iso superia color film
  • x2 rolls Fuji 36 shot 400 iso superia color film
The bag (Lowepro) on the right is what I carry my 35mm film SLR in.
  • The camera is a Konica Autoreflex A3. It was my grandfather's camera. Weighs a ton. But it's the best camera. It was manufactured in 1974. It's no longer made.
  • The lens on it is a Tamaron SP 35-80mm 62mm macro lens with an aperture of 32-2.8. Great for anytime use.
  • A Konica Hexanon AR 50mm 55mm tapered lens with an aperture of 16-1.7 and a Hoya 55mm UV filter (Skylight 1B).
  • A Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm 67mm macro telephoto lens with an aperture of 16-3.5.
  • A Vivitar 28mm 67mm Wide-Angle lens with an aperture of 16-2.5.
  • A Gossen Luna Pro photometer the thing's totally ancient but works perfectly. In fact, it works better than the photometer in my digital.
  • A Lumix 55mm polarizer lens filter.
  • A Tiffen 67mm UV lens filter (Sky 1A)
  • A Tiffen 62mm Polarizer lens filter
  • A Hoya 55mm Yellow lens filter. (this is especially great when shooting with B&W. It enhances yellows and reds while softening other colors. You can take pictures of sunsets that look totally unreal.)
  • A highliter
  • A ballpoint pen
  • A photo log (to keep track of what roll shot what)
  • A lens cleaner
  • x4 rolls Kodak 36 shot 400 iso Tri X B&W film
  • x4 rolls Fuji 36 shot 400 iso superia color film
The black bag in the center is a 20XPF Film Shield pouch. It's lead-lined so that your more sensitive film (1600+ ISO) won't be fogged by x-ray machines at airports.

And those're my photobags.
 
Post the pictures you take.
 
A lot of my pictures are B&W or color prints and my scanner seems to be dead. I'll see if I can load them somewhere else. Perhaps a friend's place.

Here's one I did a while back.

Very interesting. Any photoshop on that one?
 
No, I printed it as it was on the film. Due to the age of my Konica sometimes (once every 200 shots or so) it doesn't wind the film all the way and I get a double exposure. Where one photo overlaps onto a previous photo. The picture of the girl on top was taken at a studio when I was doing my self-portrait work. We were goofing around and she started doing some ballet poses. The shot below her is of a stairway in Assisi, Italy. The thing was totally random. I printed it with the black border to show that it was a single, unedited exposure. I've got another print somewhere that has the sprocket holes in it.
 
Nice!

I like pictures that you have to take several moments to ask what's going on. That was one of those. Very complex.
