My equipment

Hi Brian, are you in competition with JESSUPS? !! with al your camera equipment, do you belong to the digital camera club, as you like Macro did you see the pictures in the library. Yes Ken told me he had spoken to you, Actually Ken and Ray take some of the pictures on my site.

What about taking pictures of wild flowers in nthe summer, it is really interesting especially as you like Macro, I have found about 200 in the last two years. Keep up the good work.

I have used a variety of cameras over the last few years, A fuji finepix 2800zoom which I think is about a 3 million pixel camera, then a casio with 4 million pixels, then onto a casio with 6 milloin pixels, and finally my current camera a fuji finepix with 7.1 million pixels and the feature that I love most about it is its 10x optical zoom, very handy when you just can't get very close to the subject. No expensive equipment really but I have been very pleased with the results on the whole.

I don't still have all four camera's (Just the last two). but the nice thing is you can always sell the last one to help fund the new camera (Good old Ebay!). 

Untill two years ago, I used 35mm cameras. Then I got a small Minalta digtal bridge camera. I loved the ease of using it. I now have a Konica Minalta Dynax 7D. DSLR. Minalta 18 to 70mm zoom, Sigma 70 to 300mm, Sigma 24 to 70mm, Sigma 50 to 90mm and 5300hs ProgramD flashgun. also 2 tripods.

I still have my 35mm gear and 6 lenses, which I use occasionaly. But digital is cheaper and easier to manipulate in a light room.

I use Canon 1D Mark II and mainly 24-105 f4L. for my landscapes.

Talking of macro, I do quite a lot of it, so please do have a look at my galleries.

Nice camera Gemm, i can only dream.  Saying that your photos are superb.

I use a Nikon D40, with the bog standard 18-55mm and a 55-200mm lens, with a polarising filter. And i have photoshop elements 5.

I have a modest Nikon D50, with a 28mm-70mm Nikon lens that has superb focusing speed, a Sigma 24-70mm macro that is about the same weight as a house brick and too big for the onboard camera flash, slow to focus, but superb at portraits and landscapes. I also have a Sigma 70mm-300mm macro for wildlife and bug shots. The flash is an SB600, and the tripod comes from Manfrotto.

I still have my old Nikon F65 film camera and a SB50DX flash. The lenses are interchangable between them both.

I carry everything in a Lowepro Rover Plus AW because it doesn't shout camera equipmentto everyone on the planet, and can hold all my bad weather clothes and a 7 litre flask to boot. The tripod sleeps in a beat up old Jessops tripod bag to try and stop anyone thinking "mug him".

35mm----Nikon EM, FE, F65, F3

Digital currently used---Nikon D1, D70s, D200.  Canon EOS 30D & A85 compact.

Various Nikkor & Sigma lenses. This started off one day some years back buying my first camera; a Zenith B 35mm SLR & Sangmo Weston light meter which kicked off my love of photography that has lasted 37 years todate.
