None! ><

My family has a Nikon digital camera. I can't remember what type atm.

I know it's a few years old and it's not too good.

[Yusecki]

I have a really cheapy camera that I borrow..

I plan on getting a camera on one of those 'pay weekly' deals.

[Trigona]

Hmm, equipment... that would be nice to have...
Atm I got an analog one (Canon AE-1) older than most things in an average museum + some lenses.
Hmm, I got my cam in my cell phone too :P
I'm trying to save up for a Canon EOS 10D, not the newest dslr around, but enough. will prolly buy it through ebay.com or so ^^
would be happy to get some comments about the 10D too!

Cameras:
Yashica Twin Lens Reflex - Medium format
Fuji Finbepix S7000
Canon EOS Digital Rebel

Tripods/Monopods:
Benbo Trekker tripod w/ generic ball head
Bogen/Manfrotto monopod with Bogen 3 way axis head

Lighting:
Samigon Halo-Ring light (Macro photography)

Numerous lenses (Wide angle, fisheye, multiple macros, and telephotos) for both the Fuji and Yashica cameras. Just the standard lens for the Canon, but looking for a good super telephoto for wildlife photography (open to recommendations).

Miscellaneous stuff:
Cable releases, remote shutter release for the Canon, Lowepro Photo Trekker Classic Backpack to carry it all in. (Not all of it fits!)

That is my equipment off the top of my head.

Ok I haven't had my camera out for some time, I moved house recently and its been up in the attic for a while. Anyways I got it down today here's the specs

Cameras
Nikon FA (this is a pretty old SLR it's not even on the Nikon website anymore)
Sony Cybershot (this isn't really mine, it's my brothers I use it from time to time if I need a picture for the web or something)

Lenses
Zoom-Nikkor 35-105mm
That was fitted on my camera when I found it. The rest of my lenses are elsewhere but I think I have another zoom lens, one wide angle, a macro and one other that came with the camera.

Lighting
Nikon Speedlight SB-16

Acessories
I have polarizes for all my lenses (I think) I've got a few coloured filters, lens hoods and a trusty light meter

I really need to get a good quality scanner so I can stick some of my prints on my PC.

Dust that puppy off onbrid.....I'm itching to see some of your pictures!! This months photo topic might be a good place to show off some of your photos. Some places where you get your film developed will put them on CD for you if you ask., that might solve your scanner problem for your future photos.

I'm going to have to get it all cleaned up first. I'm not sure if I should do it myself or get a specialist to do it for me, I think I should be ok since it's film, I don't think I'd dare clean DSLR sensor. Ah well no point beating about the bush I quess I've got to get myself aome cleaning fluid .

The Canon 300MM F4 USM IS L is a good lens, its a prime so of course will be much sharper than normal telephoto, It works well with the 1.4x Mkii and 2x Mkii 'L' teleconverterss.

Joe.

Edit: Also look at the Canon 135MM F2 L, expensive but the best prime lens I've ever used.

Yelp! I feel almost bad for not posting anywhere near enough on these boards, but here goes... my main photography stash:

Camera
-Canon EOS 20D

Optics
-Opteka 19-35mm f/3.5-4.5
-Canon EF 28mm f/2.8
-Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
-Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 USM III,
-Canon EF 100mm f/2.0 USM

Stuff
-256 megs CF-card
-LowePro Mini Trekker campack
-Manfrotto 390B tripod

I'm also contemplating a battery grip for the 20D. Not that I really need one, as the battery life is completely and utterly insane with the single batt that came with the cam, but a battery grip is great on Canons cameras. The D60 I used to have was just fitted with one, and I tried it out... just to almost fall over with envy. My pinky finger got a home! The one drawback with Canon; the grip is always inferior to Nikon... the D70, despite being a lower class camera (as it's a Nikon) is much, much more pleasant to hold.

Anyway. The more practical feat is naturally twice as long battery life - ie., I'd die before my camera did. The 20D's grip, whatever teh designation was again, is also able to eat standard AA batteries, very fun if shooting near a convenience store :P

Cheers.

That's just nasty, buying an L-series lens How much you have to part with for it? They're usually bloody costly, but I'm in the market for some of those. The this is that frankly, I've got no idea how much there is to save from buying second hand rather than new. Also, I feel much safer buying from a store than from a person.

[muffins]

i got it second hand last week in an ebay auction for a little under $500 USD. it should be coming in the mail next week. i cant wait
In my opinion, ebay is fairly safe. over the past 3 years i have bought close to 50 items via ebay and have never recieved something i wasnt happy with.

I use a box with an imp inside that paints the picture really quick. He's so cute and detailed in his pictures.


Actually I have yet to get a sweet ass piece of sexy digi-cam equipment, but when I do you all will pay...muahahahahaha...now where's my wine cooler?
