Portraiture Photography
Just for interest sake, what camera and lens equipment do you own? and what type of photography do you do?
I own a Nikon D60, with 18 – 55 mm lens.
A Manfrotto tripod and camera bag.
I plan to buy a Nikon D90, flash to mount, with a zoom lens, wide angled lens and a macro lens.
I want to shoot portraiture, and events with the occasional landscape and wild life shot.

Lenses
Lots and lots, I’m not at home so can’t recall them all right now. Most are fixed length prime manual focus lenses. I think I own only 3 zooms, Canon 35-135mm, 70-200mm and a Sigma 39-80mm in M42 mount. I have about 7-8 prime lenses in M42 that I use for my SLR’s and also on my 40D with an adapter. I also have a few Canon FD lenses including a 50mm f/1.4 and Vivitar 200mm f/3.5… Most of the cameras I prefer to use have a fixed lens and is not interchangeable, such as the Zuiko 40mm f/2.8 on the Olympus Trip 35.
Other equipment includes…
Various external flashes (which I never use)
Camera shoulder bag
Tripod
Filters
Lens hoods
Grey Card
Computer software
Film (Fuji X-Tra 400 is a current favourite)
etc……
Nearly all of my digital equipment is unused these days, I prefer to have a small 35mm rangefinder or zone focus camera with a fast prime lens which I can carry in my pocket, rather than have to lug around a DSLR.
My favourite style of shooting is street photography, hence my preference for small, quiet, unobtrusive cameras.
