Evan,
You don't realize how easy you've got it! When I got my first job as a
college school photographer, I used a Mamiya C3 with 180 and 65mm lenses and
a hand-held meter. My flash was a Singer lead-acid contraption that must
have weighed 10 lbs. by itself, guide # was likely ~150. Carried the whole
setup to classes as well as my books. Ugh!

Actually, I don't have the Grip 2. All I have is the T20. I have been
looking into it, but I'm afraid with the winder 2 and an 80-200 lens (both
of
which I DO have) it'd be too heavy to comfortably cart around. The OM
bodies
are some of the lightest, but once you add all that other stuff, plus a ton
of batteries (C's in the case of the BG2) it seems like it would get a
little
weighty. As it is, its kind of tiring to hold my system up to my eye for
too
long (waiting for that speaker to make some interesting hand gesture.)
Thanks for all the advice from everyone!
