Thanks, it works for me.
BTW - the Sony focuses down to 2cm.

When I'm out and about I go small these days.
1. Nikon Z fc with SmallRig grip and Peak Design Leash strap
2. At least three spare Nikon batteries in addition to one in the camera.
3. One 128GB SD card in camera and one extra, just in case.
4. For cleaning, one Giotto Q-Ball compact blower, one LensPen, and several Zeiss lens wipes.
5. Voigtlander Z mount D23mm f/1.2 Nokton MF lens
6. Voigtlander Z mount D35mm f/1.2 Nokton MF lens
7. TTArtisan Z mount 28mm f/2.8 AF lens.
8. ThinkTank Mirrorless Mover 20 case - 4.53 x 6.1 x 5.31 inches and 8.8 ounces.
This is a very compact and small kit. Everything fits into this very small case and when completely loaded it weighs around 3 lbs, including all three very small metal and glass prime lenses.
On occasion I also take along my Peak Design Travel tripod, which weighs 2.8 pounds. As a result the heaviest kit I ever carry weighs around six pounds

Lately, general carry-around: a Lumix GX7 with a Sigma 30mm 2.8 Art.
However, I just acquired two new to me Nikon lenses -
Nikkor S 50mm f1.4 (non Ai - now modified)
Nikkor O 35mm f2.0 (a bit more complicated to Ai, so be taking that one to get modded)
These are to be used with a D7100 and various m43 bodies singly as carry-arounds.

Just read your answer to “what’s in your camera bag”?
I’ve been wanting to find a (best) review of the Nikon 7500.
I’ve been using my brothers D3400 since my Nikon lost its abilities to [Auto-focus] with any of my lenes.
So, my eye has been on the Nikon 7500.
I want to keep using my old lenes on the new D7500, as they cost so much $$ now.
Still trying to find the lowest prices. (Instead, the prices are going up)!
Hoping the “tilting view screen” is as good as it seems.
Post some good news.

Nope. I shoot mostly indoors in lower light and where flash photography is usually not allowed. The Z fc has a pretty decent low light sensor and the Voigtlanders are very fast f/1.2 lens.

I have many camera bags. The only thing in them are padded dividers, straps, covers, or other accessories for the bag. When I'm going to take pictures, I select a bag that will hold what I need, and then what goes in depends entirely on what I'm doing with my camera(s).

So now we're getting into processing or talking about the cameras themselves?????

I was just responding to the OP's question asking why my kit did not contain any lighting. I deleted the image and modified the post.

I used to have a number of bags in different sizes with the largest able to hold a Canon 7D Mark II and 6 large and heavy lenses. Since I 've gone minimalist I now have 3 bags, small, smaller, and smallest!
The smallest one, a ThinkTank Mirrorless Mover 10, which I will occasionally use, will hold one small camera like my Nikon Z fc, one small mounted lens, a narrow shoulder strap like the Peak Design Leash, and a couple of spare batteries. It is a glorious feeling not lugging around heavy bags anymore. To me it is worth the compromises I have to make and has altered my shooting style.
