My primary camera is the Canon 5D an 12.8 mega-pixel digital full-frame SLR with the BG-E4 grip. I’m always setting my camera on manual mode to control the depth of field and motion blur. Full-frame gives me a true 24mm wide angle when I have a 24mm lens.
For a back-up camera I use the Canon 20D an 8.2 mega-pixel digital SLR with the BG-E2 grip. Because this sensor has a 1.6X crop I tend to use this body along with the 70-200mm lens to get an effective 320mm lens for great close-ups during wedding ceremonies.
This 24-70mm f/2.8 L lens is on my camera for most portrait work.
That last lens is heavy, so I steady it with a Bogen monopod.
Precision metering is with the Sekonic L358 equipped with wireless control for the PocketWizard units.
My sturdy Bogen 3020 tripod is used both in studio and on location and has served me well since 1982.
Proper white balance is achieved with the Kodak grey card.
Sandisk is my compact flash card.

If I need fill flash outside or want to trigger my studio lights
Outdoors and indoors I use Photoflex reflectors.
Studio lighting is powered by White Lightning X800 mono lights.
All of my studio lighting equipment fits neatly into this Callaway golf bag.
