Out with a Domke f6
75mm, 35mm, 21mm, M8
Moleskin notebook, extra sd
3 camera batteries
Microfiber cloth
Pen, water bottle, earplugs in case I get into loud music, large plastic bag 
folded up.
That's all I can remember, because I'm in the airport to pick up someone and 
I just have the camera and 21mm with me.
