Misunderstood
Nice gadgetry list, however I was expecting tips on shooting on the run while traveling. My bad.
Canon advertisement
The only reason for this article that I can see is to sell Canon product.
Looks like a good list.
I have that vertex bag. It is a sturdy substantial bag, but the suspension is really subpar. I loaded it down and took it on a shoot in Boston. After a few hours my back was killing me. The other drawback is lack of space for anything but camera gear.
Why would you bring a 50mm when you have that nice 24-105?
Don't forget the elephant repellent.
50
Harrington- Yes, the 50 overlaps with the 24-105, but because I've got an idea of the situations we'll be shooting in, I know that having an f/1.2 lens will be a real boon. Many of the dwellings we'll be in will be extremely dark, and since the 24-105 is only an f/4, the 1.2 will give me a few extra stops, affording me faster shutter speeds and, therefore, better handheld shooting. The 24-105 is a great walk-around lens, so I'll only pack the 50 on days when I know we'll be shooting indoors.
As for the bag, I agree that the suspension could be better. Basically, I'm using it for airplane travel, and switching to a smaller bag for local shooting, but more on that later.
