‘I can’t afford summer holidays now, but when I used to go on them I would take two bodies (colour and b&w), a tripod, two or three lenses and a good supply of slide film.’ ‘Only what would fit into a small bag. In my case that’s three bodies and three lenses. Them there GM5s are tiny!’ ‘I voted for a camera, three to four lenses and tripod, though I’ve recently tried cutting down. When I went to La Palma last year it was just a Fujifilm X-T1, kit 18-55mm and my 90mm f/2 Summicron R with adapter. This year I may stump up for a tracking camera mount, and add my ZWO ASI1600mm, narrow-band filters and the 180mm f/ 3.4 APO-Telyt-R in addition to my normal kit.’ ‘It all depends. There’s no way I’ll take everything I own on holiday and I have a CSC “travel pack”. But if I intend anything other than snaps I’ll also take an SLR and appropriat­e lenses.’ Join the debate on the AP forum
