I am a professional photographer, for my tour next year along the Wisconsin coastline I will bring the following: one d7k without my grip, my 50 14, and my 18-105. My tripod is a heavy PITA so I will leave it at home. That said, I am very comfortable handholding on some very low light, along with having a 1.4 lens. For selfies I often just find a stranger and ask them to be my carbon based voice activated tripod.
