Go on, i've shown you mine, what have you got?

M-C-P-M · 19-09-2006, 3:50 PM

I see these fantastic pictures on here on a daily basis, but what len's are you using? i only have 2 others from the kit lens that Jessops sold me the 18-55mm i soon bought the Canon 75-300mm zoom and my latest buy was the Sigma 10-20mm superwide. It's fantastic to be able to change a lens for effect or desired outcome, but i'm guessing you guy's have got some fantastic kit in that bag, go on i've got mine out, show us yours

ps i've only been into DSLR for 4 months so my collection will grow

wabbitt · 19-09-2006, 4:02 PM

Great idea for a thread LOL..

I'll have to try and get a photo this weekend for fun. Bit busy this week but I promise to give it a go.

BTW; what lens did you use to take the photo?

pixelpixel · 19-09-2006, 4:05 PM

cool....Wish I had a lense to post.

I have a p+s and it does the trick. But am looking to get a 350D shortly.!!!

I'd say the 18-55 as it looks as though that has been digitally added. Good job though.

Jazz Monkey Jr · 19-09-2006, 5:42 PM

Here is my kit, just ordered the 24 - 105 L.

(Pic taken with SE k800i)

P.S. Your Sigma looks like it is a L lens.

Pink Fairy · 19-09-2006, 5:51 PM

Only have two lenses at the moment

Any more and I've been told I'll be single... tempting at times

Nikon 600mm f4 AFS and 300mm f2.8 AFS VR

M-C-P-M · 19-09-2006, 6:02 PM

OMG Pink fairy, i've just come over all Unnecessary!!!!!

So is being single worth thinking about?

Does that mean that right now you have more digital cameras than you do lenses?

QuietRiot1983 · 19-09-2006, 6:39 PM

My kit, descriptions can be found in my sig. The pic was taken on my phone, so excuse the god-awful quality! I also have a Nikon SS-10 Flash..but I can't find it

tomson · 19-09-2006, 7:04 PM

Here's mine:

The 2 black L lenses are off to new homes soon, so my collection will be nice and trim.

Thatsnotmynaim · 19-09-2006, 8:14 PM

Just about to slim down a bit, but this is mine for now :-

We took most of it on holiday in two Crumplers, a Geekstar just (literally) fits into those stupid small wooden boxes they have at LHR!!

Out of all of it, 24-105 is my fav, followed by 10-22, 100-400 & 30 f/1.4 for nice arty shots. The other two + 1.4x + 350d will probably go when I get back from the lakes.

wabbitt · 19-09-2006, 8:26 PM

Wow... some serious equipment there!

Here is my meagre equipment!! Excuse the quality but my camera was on the table. This is my camera phone!!!

I didn't put out;

- the portaflash 3 system
- two more tripods in my car
- a butchered Cobra head (used for my smashing bulb shot)
- Rocket blower
- Pec-pads!!! LOL

Radiohead · 19-09-2006, 9:12 PM

A little out of date now:

Old:

New:

I've now added a 135/2L, a 100/2.8 Macro, a grip for the 30D as well and have returned the 70-200/$ in favour of a 70-200/2.8 IS L. I suspect the 85/1.2L or the 50/1.2L will be joining the throng within the next couple of months.

sjameson - let me know if you decide to sell the 1.4x TC as I might have that.

craigizmo2k2 · 19-09-2006, 9:27 PM

RH, why did you swap from Nikon gear to canon?? Nuce gwar though!

sold5 · 19-09-2006, 9:39 PM

Sjameson...

I'm sure I saw your gear on the news last week after they found that arms dump in South Armagh.....

QuietRiot1983 · 19-09-2006, 9:42 PM

I wish i had money.

M-C-P-M · 19-09-2006, 10:01 PM

WOW! and WOW! again No wonder you guys pictures are so bloody good, what a fantastic load of very serious kit.

So how many of you guys are pro or semi pro? surely with that kit you must be? well you have given us mere mortals something to aim for, and by the way Did i Say WOW!

grantsteve · 19-09-2006, 10:08 PM

Some serious kit going on here!

Makes me feel a bit inadequate with my newly (soon to be) acquired D50 from Magslad.

I'd be interested to see how much cash has been spent. Maybe we could keep a running total?!

Canon 20D: £800

Canon 70-200: £500

Getting the right shot at the right time: Priceless

LOL....

No need to feel inadequate Grant, it's a great bit of kit (from a very careful owner

). Will add my pic to this thread when I get a chance, but for now my kit is listed in my signature below.

Tomson, will your 17-55 take over duties of the 28-70? How does it compare? Looks like you may have a gap to fill in there?

I hate the term "semi-pro" myself but yes I do earn from photography. It's not a full-time thing, but I do weddings, PR and some commercial events coverage.

Just for high-ISO performance making the difference at weddings.

Yep the 17-55 is taking over from the 28-70. I was using 3 lenses to cover the range (17-35, 28-70, 80-200 - all 2.8 Ls) but I can now cover it with just the 17-55 & 70-200. The slight gap doesn't worry me - I can always crop.

Image-quailty-wise the 17-55 shines - It really sharp, and nice and contrasty. And it has the obvious benefits of IS. Definitely worth the money.

PaulBoy · 20-09-2006, 9:00 AM

Hi - This thread is a real eye opener

- You're a bunch of lucky bar stewards ...
I was going to ask if someone could pop round & take a picture of my Nikon D200 & Nikon 18-200mm VRII lens for the thread

but then I noticed Radionhead's "Old" & "New" post so this helps me out so here's what I've got ... Paul

Go on, i've shown you mine, what have you got?-nikonkit_2.jpg

I want to go and spend some money, I just don't have any to spend!

I've seen that Pentax are releasing their K10D soon which looks very nice, 10 mega pixel, fully weather sealed, RAW + JPEG capture, advance image processing, image stabilising etc...

I need to spend some time learning how to use my *ist DS, photoshop, lightroom etc... and then I can justify upgrading!

Are there any courses/books people would recommend, I thought about doing a proper course, but I can't commit to a set evening each week as I have to travel with work...

baldrick - there's this free online course which I have heard others recommend if it's of any interest (?)
