We're leaving for New York tomorrow morning. I'm struggling, trying to lock down on my camera lineup. This is always the hardest part for me. Choosing clothes to bring is easy. Choosing cameras takes days of weighing options, and very literally weighing cameras.
I've been thinking it would be easier if I brought the Great Wall rather than the Kiev but the the weight difference is only just under 2 pounds if I don't bring the second back. If I bring the second back I'm hitting around 5 pounds. It doesn't sound like much until you add more cameras, film, accessories, the bag, and days of walking with gear in tow. Although I'll be doing a lot of work and possibly less walking, but even still I can't underestimate a little problem I have called Can't Not Overdo It.
