I'd almost certainly make the same choice, if it ever occurred to me.<br /><br />My idea of minimalism is pretty flexible, but it generally involved picking a smaller camera bag and then trying to stuff just as much into it. My limitation really comes down to practicalities; I don't drive so I need to stay within what I can carry with me. It's just the details that change.Matthew Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04134787874718415563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12906299.post-80838539825657582212010-03-14T23:40:19.249-04:002010-03-14T23:40:19.249-04:00>> Swapping the 14-35 for a 12-60 and leavin...>> Swapping the 14-35 for a 12-60 and leaving behind the lights<br /><br />I think that's what he did.<br /><br />My idea of minimalism would be the E-P2 and the RFT 14-54 f/2.8-3.5 Mk II with the MMF-1 adapter. I'd use the Mk II because it's been tweaked to work with CDAF (specifically the E-30). No flash, extra batteries and SD cards. And maybe the ZD 50mm.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749942763035029635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12906299.post-56984861206961218162010-03-14T22:31:31.946-04:002010-03-14T22:31:31.946-04:00Is it hockey season?

I'm not a fan of the double-spaces after each sentence, but otherwise I really like what and how he writes. <br /><br />I know Kirk had a rough bit on his blog, and can't imagine what being a self-employed photographer and writer must have been like these past couple of years. He's certainly earned a solo vacation. But it also sounds like his idea of minimalism isn't all that light. Swapping the 14-35 for a 12-60 and leaving behind the lights could easily count. <br /><br />(Perhaps I'm projecting, since my lens count for my next road trip continues to climb.)<br /><br />I'm looking forward to the end of the week, when KT's back and lets us know how it went.Matthew Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04134787874718415563noreply@blogger.com
