Bubblegum Bandit November 13, 2005 Share Bubblegum Bandit Member November 13, 2005 Ok, so the new forum is up, lets make some use of it. I plan on pinning a topic soon that we can use to house links to tutorial and informational sites. Stand by for that. Since I'm getting into Photography, I'll make the first thread about photography. Photography is about 10% camera and 90% timing and eye, nevertheless you gotta have a camera to take the pictures. So, what kind of equipment do you use/own? My arsenal: 35mm: N50 SLR AF Nikkor 35-80mm f/4-/22 lens AF Sigma 70-210mm f/4-/22 lens Digital: D70 SLR AF DX Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-/22 Flash: Nikon SB-600 Media: SanDisk 1.0 GB Ultra II Casio ZX-120 for the drop in your pocket and go convience.

duma November 13, 2005 Share duma Member November 13, 2005 I have the Canon SLR (Rebel). I don't use the Canon lense though, I have a Sigma lense. I think they are much better. I have a crappy flash right now.... but given that I want to buy a DSLR, I'm not spending the cash to replace it. We also have the Canon Power Shot A75, for the easy to carry camera. Also, unfortionatly, it is our only digital camera, so it serves the need for quick pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengence November 14, 2005 Share avengence Member November 14, 2005 I have the same Canon Power Shot A75, it is a very nice camera for some quick pictures. It doesnt do great videos or anything but my mom did get some videos of the hurricane and they looked and sounded pretty good and they gave me a feeling of what it was like there.

Scourge January 22, 2006 Share Scourge Member January 22, 2006 24-70 f/2.8 L70-200 IS f/2.8 L Those suckers get a little heavy eh? I had a 16-35 2.8 and a 24-70 2.8 rented for the new years weekend to shoot my first wedding. Really really nice glass, and massively huge compared to what I'm used to. I also shoot with a Rebel XT. Although my lens selection is rather unsubstantial, lol. Canon 18-55mm F3.5-5.6. Canon 35-135mm F4-5.6. Canon 50mm F1.8 prime(best cheap lens out there). I use a Sigma 500 super flash and I have 2 1gb cf cards(generic scandisk and a fotosource 45x) and 1 512mb card(fotosource 45x). -George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igloo January 30, 2006 Share igloo Member January 30, 2006 Yeah, the 24-70 is a BEAST. And it doesn't balance right with my XT. But it's the money shot lens for a reason! I bought it used for $900... Since my post in Nov, I've picked up a new prime. I wanted a small and fast prime for daily walkaround use. Canon 35mm f/2.0 (sub $200) madison.deviant.de/eric/35MM_1.JPG madison.deviant.de/eric/35MM_1.JPG (I didn't take these photos, but the guy beind the camera is using my lens ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
