What gear do you have?

[Halle Terry]

Figured this would be a bit of fun to see what everyone on here rocks. I've only been into photography for about a month but I've really been enjoying it.

I have:

Canon 600D
Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 + Hoya CIR POL Pro 1 filter
Canon 50mm f1.8 + Hoya UV filter (thanks Mitchy!)
Canon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 + Hoya CIR POL filter
Speedlite 580exii + flash bounce reflector

Slowly finding my feet, been enjoying taking photos of people more than anything else.

Not sure if serious, Don't the Hasselblads cost about as much as a small brand new car?

he's serious.

Dont know much about them, but yes, some of them run ~$40K

and the latest one is 200 megapixels

I also own a pair of shaky hands which I would love to upgrade, but a easier upgrade in the future is a better tripod and better/more filters. Eventually I will add a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM to the arsenal. That will be more than enough for my limited talent.

[thommo]

come to a photo walk, all the other guys that came last time have heaps of gear and good advice

[Halle Terry]

Best advice Corbin ever gave me was: "Gear is pretty irrelevant if you've got the skill to do what you want" Or something along those lines. I'd agree, besides trying to take a picture of something really far away, my little kit has served me well :)

[thrtytwo]

Never worry what anyone else has haha. It's the photos that matter!

[YOUR MATE]

Just sold of most my old stuff and replaced it with this

Canon 7D
Canon 17-55 F2.8 IS USM
Youngnuo 580 copy (chinaaaaa!)
Hoya HD filters
Manfrotto tripod with ball head.

Tripod doesnt like the weighty camera and lens, so need to upgrade. Also planning to get a genuine 580 flash.

what tripod you got? I have a manfrotto and it doesn't mind 5d2 with heavy lens on it

Have you used the yongnuo much? from what I've read they are pretty decent. Will definitely get some of them when I decide to experiment with multiple flashes :D

[YOUR MATE]

Yeah I have. I like it. And for $70 or whatever it was you can't go wrong.The only thing it doesn't do is flash to focus on. So the other night when I was trying to take pics at a party with next to no light it was impossible, had to use the built in.

I have the 785B which only has a 1kg limit on it apparently.

[thrtytwo]

I have the 785B which only has a 1kg limit on it apparently.

just googled it, hella pencil legs :P

One thing I read over and over when I was researching tripods was get one with the least leg segments you can (that one has heaps! like 5), and the thickest legs you can. Without getting a big heavy beast obviously. But less leg sections = less vibration. And obviously thicker legs means sturdier.

I have the 055CXPRO3, its carbon fibre so its nice and light, but they do alu versions of the exact same style too, the 055XPROB

There are heaps of china ones out there that are a fair bit cheaper and also meant to be pretty good, but there was too many brands for me to be bothered finding out which ones were worth buying and which weren't, so I just went with a name I knew.

[_S9_]

might as well jump in

Canon 400D
Sigma 17-70 2.8
50mm 1.8
70-300 shitty kit lens
Speedlite 430 EX II
Yongnuo YN-560 (slave duties)
Manfrotto Ball-head tripod


accessories - 2x180W strobes, 6x lighting stands, bags of radio triggers, 4x different umbrellas, sound-activated shutter (arduino controlled) loads of flash gels, battery grip, flash mounts/clips, a few remote controls, an intervalometer - and a blackrapid strap.

I have the most fun just messing with strobes/playing around

Moving up to 60D + 17-55 2.8 before I travel around USA at the end of the year :)

[thrtytwo]

sounds like some cool gear! no examples to show off :) ?
I want to start messing around with strobes, can get some really awesome effects!

[Magic]

Just sold all my Canon gear and going Micro 4/3 with Leica/Voigtlander glass.

[thrtytwo]

Leica/Voigtlander glass

might have to sell more than your old gear :P

[Magic]

Nope pretty much a straight swap for a good 4/3 Body and a 24 Lux plus another lens. I had a bit of gear. Sold some other stabilising and sliders I don't use as well. Just waiting for the new model GH3 to be announced. But I'm not buying them for a few months, I don't need it just yet.

[SLYDR_SAM]

Canon EOS 550D with 18-50mm and 55-250mm kit lenses.
First camera I have owned and only just getting into it

[ELUSIV]

Best advice Corbin ever gave me was: "Gear is pretty irrelevant if you've got the skill to do what you want" Or something along those lines. I'd agree, besides trying to take a picture of something really far away, my little kit has served me well :)

Good advice, I used an old (i mean circa 1980's) 35-70 f2.8 (push-pull), 50mm f1.4 prime and a SB800 flash for a couple of years before I got to the point where I "needed" more gear. Since then have slowly built a collection based on things I want to shoot that I genuinely lack the equipment to do, i.e. last purchase was Tokina 11-16 f2.8 because I wanted to start doing some landscapes!

[tmz_99]

I've got a canon setup also,
1D mk Iv and 7D, altho looking to replace the 7D with a 5DIII soon (smaller form factor makes it an easier 'travel cam').
Have an assortment of mostly Sigma lenses and some canons, manfrotto tripods, pocket wizards, Nissin flashes, china-spec lights and other accessories....
I'd agree with most that gear doesn't make much of a difference, however, I tend to shoot a lot of photos at night (clubs/bars, nothing fancy, but I get drunk a lot) and a camera with low noise / high iso is brilliant when shooting without a flash (good for a natural look). But definately seen awesome photos with more ''base spec'' setups, the missus uses a 450d with canon/tamron lenses and gets some awesome shots.. :)

[benjamino]

It seems Nikon fans are few and far between! :P
I'm using:
D700
24-70 2.8
50mm 1.8D
10.5mm Fisheye (possibly for sale)
Also have D5000 which im trying to sell with the 18-55mm kit lens.
SB600 with 2 other Nissin Di622mkII's.
Lightsphere for clubs+social etc,
Pentax mz-60
Polaroid Sun600 LMS

My next couple on the list are
16-35mm f4
70-200 f2.8

[benjamino]

"Gear is pretty irrelevant if you've got the skill to do what you want"

Ah, so very true.

[DRKWRX]

yeah depends what you shoot and your style though I guess.

[adrenalin]

Got a 2nd hand Tokina 12-24mm at the shop that I can do for $499 and 3 month warranty.

[DT95WA]

Thanks Magic, will stick with Sigma or Canon though.

I have the same, a great piece of kit and my primary lens when shooting in cities & Landscapes

[Halle Terry]

I recently bought a Fujifilm X100.

So far I'm really impressed, I love taking photos but carrying my DSLR everywhere was a massive hassle - especially considering I travel everywhere on the bike/bus. I also find I'm shooting more 'lifestyle' shit, as in shooting stuff as it happens rather then going out specifically to capture something. Fantastic little camera, overpriced for sure - but a cool addition. The DSLR is now being relegated to proper shoot duties whilst I carry my X100 everywhere with me.

[DT95WA]

Order placed for Canon 10-22mm f3.5-4.5. wont see it till i fly back in. cant wait to try it out in the city.

[kizzer]

Just purchased
Canon 60D
Canon 24-105mm f4L
Hoya uv


It's my first dslr setup so pretty excited!
My bros gonna update his 7d in a few months so more then likely get his hand me downs

[duste]

[Kerelm]

60d
18-200
50 1.8

filters, tripod, remote shutter, IR shutter, battery grip.

Picked up a Blackrapid strap recently too, was def worth the spend. 4 hour walk the other day was comfy as tits.

[Autopilot]

Canon 50d
Canon EF-S 17-55mm f2.8
Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-5.6
Canon 50mm f1.8
Canon EF-S 60mm f2.8 macro
Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 macro
Sigma 70-200 f2.8 Macro

Bag, tripod and filters not worth mentioning. Probably going to get rid of the Canon lenses as they hardly ever get used. I find I that I'm more prone to getting out the 24-70 and 70-200 and I've gotten so use to the zoom ring rotating the 'Sigma' way that when on occasion I do use my canon lenses I'm a bit clumsy. I guess I just need to get the Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 to complete my collection.

For my happy snap duties I use an old but dependable Canon proshot Pro 1 although I'll probably get the new EOS M when they become a bit cheaper and available.

What is that?

[thrtytwo]

Looks like a video camera (not consumer) with an EF lens mount.

[duste]

Looks like something that could film some relatively high quality pornos.

Plenty of sluts in Perth, make it happen.

lol at above, not wrong though. It's the new Sony NEX-FS700 with Metabones Electronic EF adapter. I've only done one quick test video so far because I've been flat out since I've been back. Would love to take it out to Barbs one day for some motorsport action. I'm doing some music events with it soon.

[2LMILK]

instead of creating a new thread thought id ask here.

Need a camera that can capture the gf when she has karate, fast moving type stuff...

Was thinking a canon 60d, but not sure what lens etc

Thanks in advance

[Autopilot]

Karate aye? Is that what we are calling it? What's your budget? that'll have a great factor in what lens to recommend.

[2LMILK]

i was hoping to get away with 2K.

and yes karate, national champ actually, i dont even pick on her

[MattyP]

Sweet pick up on the FS-700.

Well to add to my original post, dropped some coin to pretty much complete my freelance kit this week. (all second hand gear)

2 x Canon 1D Mk4
400mm f/2.8L IS USM
16-35mm f/2.8L USM II

Cheers, I picked up a second hand Voigtlander 35mm F1.2 for it last week. The two are a great combo! 400MM 2.8 is dope, what you using that for?

[MattyP]

400 for sport, long distance stuff that the 70-200 can't do, occasional portrait etc
Will grab either a 2x or 1.4x Extender III if I need.
Contemplating a 2nd hand 600mm non IS depending on price.
