Body+18-200vr+10.5mm+50mm 1.8)+SB600+Manfrotto 055CL+ Gitzo ballhead+2 spare batteries & charger+8 AA batteries & charger+ Laptop+GFLS2+Cleaning kit.
not sure, but with my current setup most probably only:
d50 + Tokina 12-24 + Tamron 28-75 and 2x TC <~ very useful for close up when used with 28-75.
interesting.
thanks for the reply.
plz if possible include your reasons
Just back from my China holiday, this is what I carried:
1. Backpack - Lowepro minitrekker
2. Camera - Nikon D100
3. Lens - main AFD20-35 & AFD85, seldom used 16mm & 105mm
4. Photo accessory - Manfrotto tripod, Nikon SB80DX flash, 6x 1GB CF cards, 3x camera battery, CPL filter, 4x AA battery, battery charger, lens tissue, airblower
5. Non-photo accessory - Swiss army knife, Bandaid, tissue, pen, small paper pad, small plastic bag, gloves
No laptop, no handgrip, no telezoom, these heavy weights are just too heavy for a holiday.

guys, you all travel along or with family? dun you all find your gears some wat heavy?
at when travelling, would ppl wait for you all to shoot? or do you all not setup at all?

it's not really heavy.. main thing is to get a backpack with good back support... balances the weight on both shoulders...and get a lighter tripod...
i travel to see the world and i want to capture it at it's best.. if i'm not going to bring my gear i might as well not buy it in the first place... i don't have the time and money to go on pure photography trips so i have no choice but to lug my gear during holidays with my family..
i travel with family (occasionally friends).. and sure they don't mind waiting for me to shoot.. coz they know i'll give them a copy of the photos... the rest of my travelling group usually use really compact pns that are really hard to use esp at night... so i kinda end up being the main photog.. the downside? u see everybody else's face but yours in the photos....
setting up also can be quite fast, if u don't need a tripod, just turn on the cam and shoot..
if u do, setting up a tripod is just a matter of seconds, esp if u practise enough... getting the RRS L plates also help, so u don't have to adjust the tripod head when shooting portraits.. just turn the camera..
well, my other lens is 80-200, which is a little too big/heavy to really bring it for oversea. so a compromise would be 28-75 with a 2x TC which fortunately gave me a way to go into close close-up (1:1.85)... only thing is have to stop down to f4 or f5.6 onwards for sharp result.
a recent take (f2.8, f5.6 effectively with TC)
and of cos when stopped down
example <~ all taken with that 28-75 and 2x TC (stopped down) ;p
basically just like that, until I got the $ to get new lens...
Well those tons of stuff are TOO heavy for a cheerful holiday isn't it?
I'll be going holiday this month, just planning to bring 30D and 28-135, 2 x 2G, 2 batt, Charger & that's it.
Not going for War :bsmilie:

Going Melbourne end of March, lugging my 300D + kit + 50mm + CPL + 500 DG + spare batts + cleaning it. Reason for choice of equipments? Coz that's all i have :bsmilie:
Anyway the range suffice and if budget permits BBB, i'll get a 17-40 f4L to replace the kit :sweatsm:
and then the 24- 105 f4L, 70 -200 F4 L, 30D....
:lovegrin:

i see most of the ppl here are very healthy and strong. lol.
i would agree to bring basic items.
for me i would bring 30D + 16-35 +50/26-75 + 580EX
i would for go the tele because i currently dun hold one and it would really be too heavy.
