What's in your bag?

[hawkaye]

I just wondered what tools of the trade you guys had in your bag?

here's mine, purchased everything since February this year and still learning how to use it all



Whats in yours?

[JD]

ahhhh, You have red bands on your lenses, I'm getting "Lens Envy"

I would take a pic of mine, but in the process of the picture taking, 50% of my gear wouldn't be visible


Christmas, and the Red bands will be mine
