What is your camera?

piotrek · Sep 14, 2005

Hi,

I couldn't find any place where you say what is your equipment, or am I just too tired today and my eye play games with me? If so, then sorry :hail: .

I know it doesn't matter that much what is your camera, it matters what you have in your head, even having not high-tech camera one can take brilliant photos.

But still I am curious what you use?

I start:

You can say I had no choice with the lack of founds, but I became a fan of old cameras. So I take pics with over 20 years old Zenit TTL, quite nice, and usefull in self defence, so called 'Russian Tank' :lol:

:shock: :?:

Then stop reading because what is really shocking I have borrowed a camera from my friend which is really old (50 years or smth), polish Start 66. I'm about to clean it and start hunting

Your turn!

My camera.... or better yet... camera(s) You'll notice quite a few people in this forum use a variety of cameras....

Cameras I use on a frequent basis:

Pentax ME ( carry with me all the time cuz its small )
Pentax 645 with 120 back
Canon 10d
Canon 1v

I don't carry all of that stuff at any one time.... just take whatever I feel like using.

Welcome to the forum!

Well
1. Canon G5; Canon Speedlite 420EX
2. Minolta D5D
3. Pentagram Photon 643 - idiot cammera ;-)

And little stuff like filters, memory cards, Lowepro Computrekker AW, Velbon Sherpa 600R etc. etc.

Probably about 1-2 weeks I'll have Fujifilm S3 ;-)

Hmm,

I guess it shows I'm rather an amateur with my 1 camera... I enjoy taking photos, I only wish others enjoyed my photos as much as I do

Just kidding

...well, at least about enjoying my photos, most of it is rubbish...

Anyway, my photo-guru, whose name cannot be mentioned

, says that the more proffesional one gets the less equipment he carries. And not only because one becomes that good, it's because one becomes that lazy :lol:

and still knows he can manage with just what he has...

Looking forward to hearing from other users about their cameras

Usayit -thanks for the welcomes

This month the rotation has mostly been between a Canon 20D, a Widelux, and an Ansco Titan (6x6 folder). I've started carrying both the Widelux and the Titan at the same time. Both cameras, a light meter, and film fits into a small, insulated lunch bag. I like combining the square with the long rectangle.

I have a few...
1. Canon Rebel 2000 (35mm)
2. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20 (digi)
3. Canon 1968 TL/QL (35mm)

As many say, the glass is what really matters for the quality.
I use a Canon 50mm f/1.4 as my main lens.

Oh, also... I am going to upgrade my Rebel to a Canon EOS 1n soon. :thumbup:

That's because they've got assistants and interns to do the hauling.

Pentax KM, with it ive got a 50mm f1.8 pentax lens, sigma 70-210mm, tokina 35-70mm, a 12" cable release, a vivitar 3500 flash, and a quantaray tripod.

Well.. I started off 2 years ago with a 1970 Pentax, which was running like a charm, until the shutter started to slow down just a bit, and I entirely forgot to get it fixed until a year later. Then I picked myself up:

1. Canon Rebel XT (350D)
2. Using an 20 year old 70-210mm lens (I think)
3. The kit lens which was an 18-55mm (Like, but I need to get the focusing calibrated again. I do believe it may be a tiny bit off)
3. Canon 70-300mm IS USM (Works like a charm, my current favourite lens)
4. Borrowing/thinking of buying a Canon 100mm Macro lens (If that goes through, this should be fun.

)

The world of photography is addicting
