...Oh, how I miss metal lenses, aperture rings, and DOF markings...

One of the cameras that I enjoyed the most was the Hasselblad 500C. It took me back to the manual photography basics and WOW the quality of the photos.

I took it to a camera shop to sell on my behalf when I sold my Canon 10D. It was not in a good condition and they decided to get everything fixed (500C, 80mm & 150mm, prism viewfinder, extension tubes, etc.). It cost them quite a few bucks and they never sold it. It think I should go an collect it. Problem is the money spent to fix it :mecryr :naughty: with and then :nana:.

Hi All! Let's put some more life into this new forum!

post a list of the photography/photography related equipment you own!


I'll start out with mine(sorta my parents, too):

Canon Digital Rebel XTi
18-55mm stock lens
Canon 28-80mm Ultrasonic (rescued from a junk pile :O)
Canon 55-250mm EF-S IS Lens
Quantaray 70-300mm Lens
Canon Speedlite 177A (rescued from junk pile :O)
Velbon CX200 Tripod
Quantaray QSX 9002D Tripod

Canon SD1000 point and shoot

You need a EF 50 f1.8, it far exceeds those consumer zooms in contrast and sharpness and is great for handheld photography in low light and portraits for less than a hundred bucks.

I just sold an EF 85 f1.8 USM and it was extremly sharp and contrasty and had very good bokeh, but is a bit pricy.

I am still shooting film with a Canon Elan 7 body and EF 28-105 f3.5-4.5 USM, 100-300 f3.5-4.5 USM and the 50 f1.8 mostly.

 

[Tom_123]

Ok, here's my stuff.

Still working but rarely used:

Nikon F4
Nikon F80

Some low and mid priced Nikkor and Sigma lenses

Digital:

Canon 350D (this should be Rebel XT IIRC?)
Canon G10

Sigma 1:3.5-5.6 / 18-125 DC
Canon 1:4 / 70-200L (nonIS)

Nikkor 1:2.8 / 24
Nikkor 1:1.8 / 50
(with adapter)

Flash:

Metz 45CT-1
Metz 54 MZ-3
NISSIN Di 466
some cheap studio flashes with a softbox.

Tripods:

Manfrotto 055pro with 486RC2 ballhead
several cheap tripods

Post Processing:

PC (WinXP) with Photoshop CS and Canon software.

 

[McGizmo]

2- Nikon D70's
2- Nikon D300's
Few Nikon lenses: 16, 20, 50, 80, 300 mm fixed focal length
A Subal housing for D70 & D300 (I have back up bodies for these because the housings cost more than the cameras and lenses and become obsolete quickly!!)
Couple Olympus Stylus rugged and ultimately disposable point and shoots.

Most important: PhotoShop CS4 !

I love your underwater photos. I wish I have one, but right now I cannot justify spending so much to get the underwater housing which cost a few times more than the camera itself since I don't scuba dive frequently enough. One of these days I'll retire and live in Hawaii

You need a EF 50 f1.8

Going from film to digital, I switched to a Macro lens to do all the stuff the 50 does + portraits + macro.
It does all three jobs superbly and at least compared to the L, is small and light.

Canon EOS 620
Canon EOS 20D
Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L
Canon EF-S 60mm Macro


I think of the L as my magic lens. Everything it 'sees' turns out simply

And today's most recent macro shot:

 

[csshih]

nice shots!

one of lenses I'll have to get someday is a macro.. absolutely no money makes it a problem!.

EF 50 f1.8? nope, no money :mecry:

lol.. I gotta start digging up junk piles more.. I got lucky at my high school when journalism decided to toss out some old film gear... I think I'll be grabbing that Canon Rebel film camera

 

[D.B.]

I have a ridiculous amount photographic equipment that I've acquired through my job, but I've been trying a more minimalistic approach. What I currently use mostly is:

Canon 50D
Canon 20D as backup

BG-E2 grip on each body

Canon 10-22mm
Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS
Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8

Canon 580EX
Canon 430EX

Sigma 28-80mm macro (just for the macro)

 

[Narcosynthesis]

I use a few different cameras/systems depending on what I am wanting to do - Mostly my digital SLR for speed and convenience, but also a digital P&S, and a few older film cameras that get brought out for certain tasks.

Some of the gear I use regularly:
Canon 400d with grip
Canon 10-22mm
Canon 35mm f2
Canon 70-210mm f4
Canon 18-55mm
Canon 430exII
Tamron 200-400mm f5.6

Panasonic FX37

Nikon FM with 50mm f1.8 (loaded with B&W film)

Olympus XA2 (film varies, usually either slide for cross processing or redscale)

Assorted tripods, gorillapods and other bits and pieces

The 400d is without doubt my main camera, for the speed and convenience of digital versus film, so is where I have the most money invested. The Panasonic I just got recently, intended as a smaller pocket camera for when I am going out and would like some form of camera, but can't be bothered carting the SLR.
The FM gets the title of my favourite camera though, I love how the aperture ring and shutter speed clicks nicely into place and the focus just glides smoothly around, and enjoy working with the limits of film - sadly film costs and the speed and ease of digital makes for a more practical camera a lot of the time.

It took me back to the manual photography basics and WOW the quality of the photos.

Every now and then, I'll take out my old Rodenstock loupe and look at my landscape slides on a light table. Although inconvenient by today's standards, it's quite simply the purest most awe-inspiring way to experience a photo. The images are just alive and appear almost 3-D. There is a certain zen to inspecting slides through a loupe (I even used to use a Leica stereomicroscope for close detail inspection). And the coolest thing is that that actual piece of slide film was what was in the camera at the moment the picture was captured. Magic!

You need a EF 50 f1.8, it far exceeds those consumer zooms in contrast and sharpness and is great for handheld photography in low light and portraits for less than a hundred bucks..

I just went digging again.. found one who's focus didn't work.. is this it?
