[pct-l] DSLR Camera

[ned at mountaineducation.org]

This will probably be of no surprise to anyone who knows me as the "heavy 
trucker" that I commonly am, but on my 1974 thru I carried two Nikon F2 
bodies with three heavy lenses. I ran Kodachrome 24 slide film in one and 
B&W bulk roll film in the other. Sold the color prints up and down the west 
coast in photo galleries for a few years thereafter.

I got used to the weight and the only trouble was keeping the cameras from 
falling off the top of my Kelty Tioga (one fell into and over a waterfall 
near the Rubicon during a creek crossing!).
