[QUOTE="Bill16, post: 447833, member: 15356"] OK so when carrying the D800 and the D700 using the black rapid double harness for walk around shooting, what would you recommend in camera positions, and lens choice for each camera? I have a Rokinon 14 mm that is my widest lens but it's manual focus, and the I have 20,24,28,35,50,105 mm Nikkor af-d prime lenses and the 80-400mm zoom that is also af-d lens! I also have a Tamron zoom 35-300mm I think, though I'm not positive since I haven't really used it since I bought it from my buddy [USER=986]@Eduard[/USER] a short time back! Anyway, what side would you put each Nikon and what lens would you put on each to take advantage of their best features? Landscapes, flowers, maybe squirrels or even the lake and such that I might run across during a walk will be my subjects! I will likely really wish I had a filter or two to capture shots of the lake when I get around to it, but as of yet I don't have any of those type of filters so far. Just for reference here is a shot from the listing of my harness that hasn't arrived yet! :) I've just come to think that I should limit each walk to 1 or 2 subject types to accommodate the prime lenses I have instead of zooms! I don't think 2 of my lenses will work very well for too many different types of subjects! I don't want to change lenses during the walks, and I'm not adding more lenses to my collection at this time! [img]http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/1/5/3/5/6/_57_702456.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
