Over the years I have honed it down.

1Ds MkIII + two batteries and charger and RRS L-Plate.
35 f2 IS.
11-24 f4.
100 f2.8 IS L Macro.
Acratech GP head.
Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 or a tiny Giottos MT9240.
Canon Selphy CP 910 printer.
iPad Pro with CCK, this acts as backup and additional storage and now LR Mobile does RAW edits it is even more efficient, truthfully no need for a laptop now.

You travel with a printer? Is the Canon Selphy CP 910 tiny and light?
But why? Giving prints to people along the way? That's the first time I've seen a printer on anyone's travel kit list. :)

Yep, it is small and light :)

And yes it is so I can give prints away. I find it gets me places and shots I wouldn't get otherwise, it also means my footprint has some value for the subjects, which is something I have become very sensitive to. Seeing a busload of tourists overwhelm an isolated village sold to them as an 'authentic' excursion normally hurts everybody but the tour operators.

My first love is travel portraiture, it makes me very little money but is what I enjoy most in my photography, being able to give a little value for what I take makes me feel the interaction holds some return for the subject as well as me. People are overwhelmingly enthusiastic when they see those little prints pop out of the printer!

Thanks PBD, what a fantastic and now obvious idea! That immediate flowback is so important for both parties.

And yes, pretty compact:
Dimensions (W xDx H)
178.0 x 127.0 x 60.5 mm
Weight
Approx. 810g
