During the week, I use a Domke bag with Canon 1D or 1DII, 16-35 f/2.8, 24-105
f/4, 50 f/1.8, 70-200 f/2.8 IS, one or two flashes, three camera batteries,
AA's for the flashes, cords, graduated filters, extra CF cards, markers, 
etc. +
I have to haul lighting kits, stands, and a tripod.  Digital is my work 
medium.

When I want to have fun in photography it's got to be film. I participated 
in a
three hour photo shoot-out last weekend.  I think everyone else was shooting
digital: I used my 4x5 Graflex, 120 roll adapter + Verito lens, and my 
Olympus
OM-2n with "Velmar" 135 soft focus lens.  I had a ball.

I feel the same as Doug Nygren:
