How much does your every day camera equipment weigh?

I'm talking about the stuff you carry around on regular basis? LOL I weighed my bag yesterday and it was 28lbs. Now I'm not talking about loading up your camera bag with everything you own, just what you normally would carry with you for what ever you are shooting.

So post weigh up and post up!

I don't need no stink'in Signature! ha ha ha

Those estimates are about right, until you are about an hour into a hike, then it increases to about 2 tons :whistle:

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

That's how much your gear weighs? :)


Mine is around 15-16 pounds.

I have a Think Tank Retrospective 20. It's a great bag... just not made for carrying a D3s with 24-70 and a SB-900 on the side... though it fits no problem, I hurt my back with it, cool story (bro) below):

I just started carrying my camera around with me again today. I wondered how I got a sore back between my right shoulder blade and spine. Turns out that's the part when my bag's strap fits and I suppose carrying too heavy a load in that bag put too much pressure on that area and did something to the muscles/tendons/nerves or something.

I'll have to remember to always use a backpack from now on (when carrying heavy gear).
