This is a photo of the gear I used for the Ray Johnston photo shoot.
In the messenger bag I have two camera bodies (5D and 20D) , three lenses (50mm 1.8, 17-40mmL, 70-200mm f4L), a 580 EXII flash and a Ray Flash adapter.
In the two bigger boxes I have two Norman LH2500 heads and two Genesis 200 heads, plus all necessary cabling. In the small box, I have two Vivitar 285 flashes, wireless triggers (two Radiopopper transmitters, four receivers) and all cabling and correction gels.
My top secret weapon of storage is the golf bag ($19 at a thrift store) that holds four light stands, plus Quantum batteries for the Viv 285s, my light meter and about a half-dozen umbrellas of various sizes.

Packed like this, I was able to load everything in my car in two trips.
