The Gear List (For My Fellow Camera Nerds)

For those of you who get excited about camera gear (no judgment, we're all friends here), I was lugging around quite the collection. My trusty Canon R5 Mark II was doing the heavy lifting, along with enough lenses to make my chiropractor wince. The full list is rather impressive - or concerning, depending on whether you're asking me or my bank manager.
