Joel:

Assume for a moment that space was limited, so limited in fact that you
could take only one camera body and one lens. The only other camera
attachments were two filters in addition to the one mounted on the lens, a
spare charged battery [assuming you are going digital] and one spare memory
card [assuming you are going digital]. Assume that the only other piece of
equipment allowed was a tripod. If you were to go all film, one addition
roll of 36 exposure of your choice of film would be allowed.

Which camera and lens would you take?
