So I had an experimental walkabout indoors with a loaded Mini Trekker.
First, load up your pack.
YashicaMat 124, OM1n, OM2n; Zuikos 24/2.8, 35/2, 50/1.8, 85/2, 135/2.8,
300/4.5; Ten rolls of film for 35mm, 5 for 120; Manfrotto 055NAT2 tripod
with 222NAT head.
Hmm, not bad. Quite light without the 'pod, which significantly increases
the load in the hand.
On the back, though, it feels great; well-balanced and easy to carry.
Without the 'pod it's an insignificant load.
An hour or so going about normal business was little trouble, though you
tend to forget about that tripod in a tight corner...
Definitely an important addition to my armoury.
Huge Visa bill this month, though. Other goodies will have to wait.
Donald.
