Jens C Krause What's in my bag

I often take my photos on extensive hikes, so I try not to take too much gear into the field in my Computrekker Plus. Nevertheless, a big ballhead is very helpful with my 200mm macro. The D200 offers outstanding image quality in a light package; my 200mm macro with its lens shade is always attached to my camera (see picture). My 105mm is exceptional at infinity and thus also a panorama photography workhorse. The 17-35 with its short minimum focusing distance is very helpful for environmental shots, but also for landscapes and panoramas. A reflector and a diffusor travel in the laptop compartment of my CompuTrekker. I have been using the RRS Groundpod for over a year now---it is exceptionally sturdy and fits neatly in the bottom compartment of my bagpack.
