Walter,
I hear you on this! I have often started to pack up for a day's shooting
only to realize I am taking way too much in the way of gear. Less is
often better. Lately, I have been limiting myself to an M, either a
Tri-Elmar 28-35-50 or one or two primes, and maybe a DSLR for long-focus
work if I'm too lazy to load up with the SL or R7.
And you're right, when you drag so much gear along, you wind up using
less than half the equipment.
Jeff
