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."

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 ? ;)
