Equipment

Here’s my equipment.  I’m going to leave everything in plural in hopes of expansion.  But money has been short lately.

• My cameras:
  • Canon 40D – A great camera for the serious amateur.

• My lenses:
  • Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras – I use this when I know I’m going to be taking pictures of things very close or far away.
  • Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens – I use this portrait lens when I’m with my friends. They look great with this lens!

• My bags:
  • Canon 100DG Bag for Canon SLR Cameras – a great bag that can hold a lot of different things including my camera and all my lenses.  At one point I was carrying my 40D digital and my N80 film cameras and their respective lenses in this bag at the same time!

• Tripod and Head:
  • Manfrotto 190XB 3 Section Aluminum Tripod – a great sturdy, well-built tripod.  Each leg can move independently and can lock in at 3 different angles.
  • Manfrotto 128RC Micro Fluid Head – a great smooth moving head that has easily adjustable pivot resistance.  Also great for video!

• Future Equipment:
  • I’d like to get a backpack camera bag for easier carrying.
  • I think my next lenses will be a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras and a Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras.
