What type of camera bag and lenses are recommended for traveling in Iraq?

Question

Accepted Answer

Discreet daypacks or casual shoulder bags are recommended over tactical backpacks, camouflage patterns, or military-style pouches that look like combat or press gear. Compact prime lenses (such as 35mm or 50mm) or all-in-one zooms are best because large telephoto lenses draw unnecessary attention at road stops and market squares.
