At a wedding you can see me bolting about with a 500cm/Justrite bracket/Radio Slave/Q-flash/usually with a 60mm (carry 150 on my Lightware belt with 2 other backs/Turbo/Softars/and Canon 50mm1.4 with LTM-M adapter/90 Tele-elmarit/meter)in the bag have an 80 (never used) and an older 40mm for the "Oh wow" shots- bouncing off my chest is the M6/Rapidwinder/Softie, usually with 35 Summilux (non-ASPH)mounted; usually loaded with Delta 3200 or XP2. I look like 'Batman' on a really bad day. Or to use Peter K's expression as seen in a recent article about Kinesis belts- The "Dork Factor" is about an 11 on a scale of 1-10!! And at the end of the day- my back hurts!
