My philosophy is this: it's hard to take a photo with luggage, so stick to cameras. There are a number of slings and straps to make this easier to do if the stock straps won't work for you. It is also harder to concentrate if you have to wonder where your stuff is or who has it. |
Also hard to use a multiple off-camera light setup without carrying in all the lights.
I use a roller bag and a smaller bag that i can carry around, but mainly stickt to two bodies/two lenses for most of the day.
