Recommended Posts

OK, here goes... you asked for it ;):D

 

Nikon D70 (SLR)

Fuji S1pro (SLR)

Fuji F602s (Compact/Hybrid)

Nikon F5 x2 (SLR)

Nikon F90xpro (SLR)

Nikon FE2 (SLR)

Nikon F501 (SLR)

Nikon F (SLR)

Mamiya 1000s (Medium format)

Various lenses from 17mm to 600mm

Various Nikon and Metz flash also bowens studio lights

...and so much other stuff that it would take about a week to list

 

Forgot to add, 90% of my shooting is on manual and the rest on aperture priority (normally when I'm trying to get someone comming out of court)

David,

 

I take it for granted your a professional then..:) ie you put bread on the table for your family.

 

What image size/resolution do you get from the Mamiya? I dont know anything about the medium or large format cameras.

Fuji M603

 

Has worked very hard the last three years.

Has spent alot of time on beach's and boat's.

Slogs its heart out for ebay.

The XD memory card has seen over 10,000 snaps.

Still going strong, would love to get some thing with a

good optical lens, but this little Fuji just refuses to give up :)

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

What I have right now is.

 

Canon 20D (dslr) + Grip

Canon 300D (dslr) + Grip

 

Lenses: Canon 50mm F1.8, Canon 18-55mm, Canon 28-135mm IS, Canon 17-40mm F4 L, Canon 70-200mm F4 L, Sigma 70-300 APO II Macro, Sigma 20mm F1.8

 

Misc: Canon 550ex Speedlite Flashgun, Tamron Teleconverter 1.4, various filters (Polarizing, ND Grad, Cokin system), Manfrotto 190 Tripod, Slik 300DX Tripod, Velbon telescopic tripod ..... lots and lots and lots of other bits of pieces.

 

Fuji 2800 (Point & Shoot)

Pentax Optio S (Point & Shoot)

 

I usually shoot with the 20D, and either the Sigma 20mm F1.8, Canon 28-135mm IS or Canon 70-200mm F4 L attached, I use the 300D as a backup, or when out fishing with the 18-55mm or Sigma 70-300.

 

Really happy with the copy of the 70-200mm F4 I got, the sharpness and colour of the shots is outstanding ... its my favourite telephoto lens that I have, and for when I need to go wide, or doing landcapes I shoot with my relatively cheap Sigma 20mm F1.8, at 2.8 and above its gives tremendous quality. When doing stuff for Press, its usally my 28-135mm IS (very good quality, and usefull range) or the Sigma 20mm.

Hi Steve,

 

Yes, I'm a pro, mostly press work but I do about 25 weddings a year and quite a few portraits too, along with parties and anything else that people want a picture of.

 

The old Mamiya is a 645 giving a neg of 6cm x 4.5cm, I don't use it much but it's there if I need it. Almost everything is done on digi now, I've done just over 42000 shots on the D70 and it's just over a year old. It will be getting replaced when the D200 is released and saved as a back up.

 

I would love to have a 5"x4" camera, really slows you down and makes great trannies too, also, people stop and talk to you when you're under the hood :)

 

Gillies,

 

Are you a pro too, thats quite a bit of kit you have too.

John - as they say its not the camera, its the person behind it ... and thats so true. Some of my favourite shots Ive taken were taken with point and shoot cameras in auto mode.
