I now have almost as many bags and backpacks as I do cameras! That said, I’ve broken down it down by bag used, destination and/or purpose.
For my general walks around local parks I like to carry
- Tamrac Derechoe 8 Shoulder Bag (Iron)
- Nikon D750
- Nikon SB-800 Speedlight with stand
- Nikon AF FX Micro-NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8D Fixed Zoom Lens
- Nikon 70-200mm f/4G ED VR Nikkor Zoom Lens
- Nikon AF NIKKOR 35mm f/2D Lens
- Benro A-150EXU Digital Tripod Kit (Black)
- Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8G ED Fixed Zoom Lens
These all fit nicely in my Tamrac Derechoe 8 Shoulder Bag (Iron). I hang the tripod off the bare strap.
