Backpacked through a few countries in Europe with a 5D2 and 35L. Great choice not to bring more lenses or a zoom. Wish I could shove the 5D2 sensor into a leica M9 body and use tiny leica lenses with it to reduce the size of my kit even further.
Taken with a Canon 6D and the 40mm F/2.8 pancake- no flash or other mess, and straight out of the camera using the Canon EOS app and Flikr Android app, while eating lunch in the museum cafeteria .

OK, shot just a couple of hours ago with one camera, no flash or other special lighting, hand held. That's minimalist, right?
Not really I don't think most people here know what minimalist really is. Only a small portion of the practicing photographers use this site to begin with, and it is a disproportionate (not representative) group that do.

My post was actually intended to be tongue in cheek. I assumed that Jefferson started this thread as a joking response to the thread asking photogs to describe their minimalist gear. I take the idea of a minimalist kit to be something simple to use and easy to carry. Minimalist art is of course a different concept. A simple blue shape on a yellow background with little texture might be called minimalism, regardless of what gear was used to record the image.

I think 40D + 50mm f/1.8 MkI can be considered a fairly "minimal" setup.
For going after BIF that would certainly be minimal, and your "pijun" is pulled off without compromise.

Well, okay, to be serious about minimalist kit - this was done with my first digital camera, the Canon G1. Yeah, it has a zoom lens and an articulated LCD. It's not a Diana or a Shur Shot, but compared to almost any current digicam...let alone a DSLR...
I'm grainy even at ISO 50, especially with contrast boosted.
