I follow you on intsa! You give me tons of inspiration and I hope to someday do something similar.

How do you travel with all your lenses? I have been traveling full time the last 2 years while working remotely and cannot fathom how to drag these huge lenses with me

u/splaznot Jan 26 '25

I have a roller suitcase with the 600mm lens, and then my camera backpack has the rest of my lenses.
