Current Photography Equipment & Reviews
Here's a list of all the equipment we've used & travelled with. Links
will open in a new window. I'm hoping to update my camera equipment to include
Canon's EOS 10D digital camera body, and at least a 2 or 4gb card.
Canon System
- Canon EOS 1n 35mm film body
- Canon
Rebel G2 film body - This sucker is super lightweight and very easy to
use! When you don't want or need to lug around heavy equipment, the G2 is
an affordable, ultralight savior.
- Canon 24-85 USM zoom
- Canon 70-200 L f4 zoom (with Canon tripod collar)
- Canon 35-80 lens
- Acratech Ultimate Ballhead,
camera & lens plates
- SLIK 713 Carbon Fiber Tripod (very lightweight with the Acratech head!!!)
- Lowepro Trekker (beaten to death, still alive!)
- Tiffen Polarizers for all lenses (cheap $$ but good results)
Minolta System
- Minolta
Maxxum 5 film body - This lightweight camera takes awesome
pics! The focus is extremely fast and very very quiet compared to all the
other bodies I have used. So far, the only feature that I've missed on this
body is mirror lockup for taking landscapes... but other than that... Definitely
recommended!
- Minolta 28-80 D lens
- Minolta 75-300 D lens
- Bogen 3001 Tripod - This tripod has served me very well, and taken tons
of pictures, but its time is just about up. Even though the 3001 weighs a
good deal less than the 3021s, it's just lacking in stability, especially
when compared with a SLIK or Gitzo carbon fiber model. Carbon fiber is definitely
where it's at, especially when lightweight is critical.
- Acratech Ultimate Ballhead,
camera plate
- Tiffen Polarizer
- Lowepro
Topload Zoom Bag
- Sigma 28-200 lens - good zoom range, decent quality for the price, a nice
all around lens to use.
Film
- Fuji
Velvia 50 slide film - by far the best film to use for landscape
photography.
- Fuji
Provia 100 slide film - similar qualities to Velvia, not quite
as much color saturation, but very nice when an extra stop of speed is needed.
- Kodak Elitechrome 200 - a decent film to use when you
run out of the good stuff... avaliable at Wal Mart and fairly cheap.
- AGFA Optima Prestige 100 - a nice print film to use,
very nice color saturation compared to standard Kodak print films
