Regards Darrell Wood <<<<<<<<<<<< Dear Darrell, your equipment really does look very heavy. I think you've got too much stuff. I have two olympus moooos I'd be happy to swap for your kit which should bring the weight down nicely while keeping the slide/bw flexibility you want. You can carry one in each pocket. Bestest, Rob.
