Default Re: The -=Official=- gear-list / Market Feedback / Sig thread

T2i w/32gb card | 28/1.8 | 40/2.8 | 50/1.8 | 85/1.8 | 200/2.8L | 55-250/4-5.6

Ain't it loverly!

LowePro Rezo 170AW... works pretty good but cramped - sits on my shelf.

Sports waist-pack... custom padded - an experiment; works OK - sits on my shelf.

Mesh multi-pocket fishing vest... Columbia CoolCreek <link> - works great, I like having the weight distributed over my body; easy to move around. Everybody recognizes you as a photographer. Over the past basketball season, this vest has been extremely useful. Holds 200mm (or 55-250 outdoors) + 85mm + 40mm. - does not sit on my shelf; it's loaded and hanging in my office ready to go!

Adidas bag... custom padded + lens pouches + body pouch - VERY stealth at games. Useful when I'm traveling - but sitting on the floor otherwise.

Canvas messenger bag + paddy <link to thread> ... Yes, it is stealth on the streets - but because I shoot venues, not streets, it doesn't get used much.

Neat solution is a folding seat-cooler like <this>. I custom-padded the inside, and have room for 3 medium (pouched) lenses + a (pouched) body. This eliminates having to carry separate tripod stool for end of court shooting. Interior is waterproof by design, so I don't have to worry about carrying in rain. This has worked very well! - but not as well as the vest.

Dell Laptop | 2 GoFlex external HDD's | misc SD cards and USB keys
I upload to Skydrive for friends/family/coaches, and sometimes give usb keys of games.

..... AND, a point&shoot with 12x mag.
SX150 IS <review> with CaseLogic belt bag. Having fun with this and posting results <here>.
