What's in my Camera Bag (2020)? Less is More! 

“Less is more, which is why I always carry around 4-5 different camera bodies wherever I go...”

Kai: “Gear doesn’t matter.” Also Kai: Pulls out LEICA

Does Kai age? He seems to look the same like in the olden Digitalrev days.

"Sometimes 28mm is too wide" Next lens - 12mm

Digital rev with you guys were like top gear for cameras. I hope you two bring the old formula back. Look at Fortnine, the production quality is insane.

Hoping everyone and their family are safe & healthy..let's kick this f***ing Co-vid curve in the c**k together!

That stack of lenses really made uncomfortable!

I can't believe that I live down the road from you and haven't seen you in the wild lmao. Try and take it in the least creepy way possible. Love your work

LOL that Marie kondo bit was brilliant " Canni Kon .. " hahaha

There is one thing I've learned in this lockdown, there is only so many times you can take photographs of your back garden..

“If Your Pictures Aren't Good Enough, You're Not Close Enough.” Kai, you’re gonna have to be literally inside of people’s faces with that 12mm LMFAO

Kai’s blend of humour and very perceptive insights into the minds of us photo dudes is brilliant! I can hardly bear to watch most other online reviews as they’re so dull and boring - yours Kai are bang on - don’t ever change!

Interesting to see the Sony 24-70 f4. I've seen a lot of hate for it on accounts of it just being 'okay' & not 'amazing', especially for its launch price of $1200+. But when I was trying to downsize my bag before my second trip to Tanzania earlier this year (2020) & wanted an 'okay' lens that would let me shoot both stills & videos on my A7 ii without having to carry extra weight & bother with swapping lenses, a used 24-70 in perfect condition for £459 turned out to be the perfect idea! I think a lot of people get caught up on chasing 'the best' & fail to appreciate that they honestly just need 'good enough'.

Kai: "I've just got too many 50mm lenses" Me: good thing I only have 7. 😂

I simplified my photo gear I sold it all. Whats in my bag ? dividers. 😆

A friend and I used to have 'Prime days' where we'd only go out with a single prime lens to practice shooting just with that. Was a lot of fun.

"Wongflix" lol

Well jeez, I'll take a camera off your hands. Literally any of them.

How Kai isn’t in massive camera debt, I will never know

Haven’t laughed that hard in a while 😂 Especially with Lok in the skit, the “dead cat” in the cage, and the random goose flying overhead.

Kai: What’s in my bag? Me: more gear than I own

The Canni Kon bit had me busting out laughing 😂. Love your content Kai and Lok!

your videos give me this very particular type of joy that i can't explain....

9:08 he's flexing on us with that toilet paper

Photography is interesting because not a lot of photographers study the history of photography. It’s humbling to see what photos were taken with manual film cameras (some of the greatest of all time!!) and compare that to contemporary photographers, who - one might say - put too much weight on the newest and greatest specs, as opposed to the simplest things like composition, lighting, and subject.

You guys are too funny. Was that a Canadian goose flying by at the end there? Lol.

You hit the nail right on the head Kai. Great gear does not improve so many other factors that come into great photography or creative work. So many people needed to hear these gems you're dropping in this video.

I use my 1ds Mk III and Tamron 15-30mm 95% of the time over the last few years. Old school ftw!

Always a joy

I sold my Oly kit and a bag of primes for a X100V. Loving the simplicity of a tiny bag. So far the only thing I miss from the old kit is the MFT Laowa 7.5 rectilinear lens. I didn’t realize how often I used that ultra wide.

I was wondering why Lok was acting weird, then it clicked... I was laughing in hysterics 😂😂😂. Lok does a great Marie Kondo impression, I couldn't believe you guys committed to that segment.

It's so nice to have someone with a great influence here on RU-vid to tell us the things we don't want to hear but we know to be true. I've got 8 different 50mm lenses so.. felt kinda bad after this video haha

just talking like that sparks joy

YES more film! I care little about digital. But I still watch you, because you are just that damn good. Having more film would be icing on the cake.

Great opening comments and entertaining content for those of us sheltered at home. Thank you!

Classic Kai humor.

Kai and Lok, such a perfect team. Well done 👍

“I’m just waiting for the subtitles” LOL

The Diane Kruger effect is spot on! Haha brilliant

That Leica MP costs almost half of my entire photo gear ownership, which includes two Canons. Maybe next lifetime.

more like this one! like the banter and script and just fun

Kai has sussed it, while we're on lockdown, get Lok down....... You two keep us all smiling through this virus crap, keep safe the both of you :)

All my photographer friends are all out and about shooting, while I’m being mandated for overtime in my hospital’s ER smh Stay safe and stay home everyone!

Water bottle placement with camera bag: OG perv move!

Always a joy to watch Kai’s stuff.

I got rid of a lot of old gear I had sitting around. My old Rebel T3i that I learned on went to a family member who needed a camera and couldn't afford one when their old SL died. Finally sold my old Sony A6000 that I never used. Was just sitting in a drawer collecting dust. For my personal work, I use my EOS R with a couple EF lenses (either my Sigma Art 35/50 or my EF 24-70). When I go out to shoot street or travel, I bring my Leica M240 with me with only 35mm and 50mm Summarit-M lenses and occasionally when traveling, the 90mm Elmarit-M. It's perfect for that. I have an EOS 80D that I keep for backup but never take out with me anymore. Keep it around for the rare instance I want to shoot sports or wildlife. Then I've got two film cameras - a Canon A-1 with the FD 50mm f/1.4 and a new-ish to me Leica IIIf with a 5cm Summarit f/1.5 lens. Never swap lenses on the film cameras. I love working with the 50mm focal length on film. Use the Canon when I need to shoot quickly and the Leica when shooting slower. I'm happy with only a couple cameras now and only having the lenses I need.

I genuinely chuckled at the Wongflix skit🤣. Gold

Just started watching you again. You do not disappoint, Kai!

“And its full frame”!

😂😂😅. awesome episode. Presence of Lok makes it even better👌

When someone opens my camera bag, they always be like "dude you camera dont have a screen. And wait why is the back is open? Dude your camera broke, and what is this little tubes?"

thanks Kai

Kai if you wanna get rid of stuff you should just give it all to me 😂

The best Kai video

Kai is fun to watch, like Gene Nagata, aka Potato Jet.

Can’t wait for storage locker to be auction. Hahahaha.

Love the Geese flying over

Kai W, the best place to learn a ton of cameras and get cringes. hahaha jokes aside, I love your content. Keep it up!

Nasty, nutty surprises.

THANK U KAI

If by chance Kai,you decide to give any of your "crap" away i would be more than happy to take some off your hands lol as i am just starting out on my photography journey & would be very very appreciative of you.Keep the vids coming too Kai.

I’m actually starting to loathe square space ads ! They pretty much ruin every post . I see people plugging their shit at least 2-3 a day . Over it ! I don’t want my own website ! I’m a nobody ! Why the hell would anyone look for my shit !! Love you Kai ! Sick post btw ! ✌🏼

3m56s Amazing Lok’s impression on 6PO

The Kondo parody was on point. gg

1:50 could not agree more! That's why it's a real surprise Kai has a camera in his bag, since he literally can't shoot.

next up after Canni Kon, the one and only... Lok Down!

Is Lok self isolating in your garage?

Hilarious thanks for cheering us up, both of you should be nominated for Oscars. Fun aside burglars are running out of jobs due to all of us being at home. Hope they don’t know where your garage is, get extra insurance!!!

Love that mirror up 20mm on the Nikon F !

Stuck on a desert island Kai , one camera and one lens....what's your choice

Are we gonna just ignore that Ken Rockwell reference at the end? lmao.

Ive been using a 50mm 2.0 Meike on a Lumix GX7 for 2 years now. A little over 85% of my shots were taken with this combo. :) I enjoy the tight fov and its range, enough to really distance myself from the subject and compact enough to not be noticed much. This is what i bring all day everyday whenever i leave the house. Less is more because its all i could afford at the moment... Lol

Lok is hilarious

Best bog roll add ever!

2:46 using curtain as deflector is big brain move ngl

A 'Wongflix production...' priceless.

Happy to see you with a haircut. Nice video. 😊Thx.

less is more. shows his garage full of things

We all luv gear here 😉

That Nikon F shaking on the bottom right is unnerving

Great video, love the humor you add into your videos! Hope you are doing well with the quarantine and lockdown situation,

No comments regarding "25th" frame at 5:02 ? Now it makes me wonder how many viewers haven't noticed it.

I have 3 cameras in 2020. Sony A7R2, Sony A5100, and a Nikon FA film camera from 1983 (for when I feel the urge). Might up/downgrade the A7R2 to a A7IV when it comes out depending on the spec. I would definitely upgrade the A5100 if Sony ever made something that small in their APS-C line again (fits in a jacket pocket when skiing). I am yearning for a Leica Q2.... maybe in a few years....

Well done Kai. I’ve been watching your stuff for years and while you’ve always been helpful this is the first video of yours I genuinely laughed at. Please take that as a compliment 😉

Cannot wait to see Wongflix 😂

I want to see Bokeh Brothers using ZOOOOMMMMM!

It's easy not to change/upgrade your gear when you have so much variety on hand.. I still struggle my really old d90, with bad sensor but a 35mm 1.8.. I used to take photographs with my not so smart smartphone which is now just a coaster on my coffee table.. I, for sure, need an upgrade..

lmao i love the "necessary" translations

Very cool! I find myself on the side of "I carry a few lenses because I don't want to miss anything" but I would certainly love to switch to a lightweight 1-lens workflow. I typically don't mind the extra weight and with a sling bag I just swing around, it's not too hard to swap lenses quick.

Kai W, the funniest guy in photo business.

That was some quality content. Kai has a great camera presence.

I'm so glad I was inebriated watching this! ...WOW, that ending was funny or maybe I'm just high.

3:55 Lok being like Marie Kondo 🤣

You guys are crazy ! The only problem is I like it.

I love mess too

The David Burnett combo camera is still the best thing I ever had in my camera bag! Now I just need something that will do a similar job but is a bit smaller :D

In 2019 the only lens I shot with was the Nikon 50mm F/1.8 on a Nikon D7100. I only do street photography at the moment but I highly recommend forcing yourself to shoot with only ones lens. It doesn't have to be a whole year but maybe a month or two. I believe you gain a whole new perspective doing so. Great content as always Kai !

Funny and fun for sure but always helpful to us lesser mortals 👍 Definitely thinking GR1 now for film photography. Thanks Kai (and your spiritual guru Lok 🙏) ✨

This was hilarious. @Translator. Thanks for that laugh.

I mean...my favorite 50mm lens is the Tamron 45mm f/1.8...because 50mm is just too constricting...there I said it...plus the 28mm focal length is freaking SWEET!!!
