Holiday Bag Setup

This is how I've set up my Think Tank Streetwalker backpack for the next couple of months.

Left out are the RF 85mm and 50mm lenses in favor of the 430EX II flash unit and batteries.

Update 12/19/22:  That didn't last long. I decided it made no sense to leave out the 85mm f/2 lens this time of year so I substituted the smaller. 270EX II flash for the 430EX II, removed the closeup filter and moved some things around to make room for the lens. Here is how it looks now, sans labels.

Another Update 1/9/23: The addition of a new lens made a reorganization of the bag necessary. Here is the new setup.
