And I agree: 35 lbs. is not heavy. When I crossed the country my bike and gear weighed 90 lbs. The bike was aluminum, so it was relatively light. A lot of the weight came from the film camera equipment, including a medium format camera with three lenses, that I was toting.
Mamma Mamiya you were nuts! ;-)
Im sure Ive told you that already when this has come up before.
Heck, back in the day, I never even took a 35mm body and one lens, not wanting the weight and worry of equipment.
And I worked in commercial photography for decades, just didnt want the hassle, so took a pt and shoot with a good lens, fixed 35mm pt and shoot (Contax)
