Lydia .. I now use Nikon D3 bodies which have 2 CF card slots each. It’s my smallest camera .. so I don’t have a camera without dual card slots on a professional shoot. That dual slot brings some peace of mind.

Each camera also has an 8Gb SanDisk SD card in them. (I use the SD cards to record medium JPGs on, as a safeguard against any of the CF cards failing." Neil, I gather that your Canon cameras have extra slots for the back-up SD cards - What do you do for back-ups when you use your Nikon D200, for instance? “Each wallet contains four 8Gb SanDisk CF cards, and four 4Gb SanDisk CF cards.

I read that photographers who did not want to check their $$ gear bag were allowed an additional carry on. Do you know if this is still true? Thanks Hi Neil ~

Hi there Stephen …

Nope, it is a roll of white seamless paper, as used in any studio.

Since you’ve been to my home and seen that it is relatively small, I know you’re now wondering where on earth do I keep this ? ;)

Do you use white poster board and lay the pieces out? Dear Neil,
Where do you get the white background to do these photos? Do you use white poster board and lay the pieces out?

It comes with a 15" laptop sleeve, so you carry your laptop too. It's a backpack, not a roller. Think Tank is highly recommended, no matter what product you buy.
