LARGE photos under this cut.
9mm asked for a photo and description of all my photo gear, so here it is.
most of it.



Ok, so here we have my equipment that's in Boston.
Each square is a different set.
lists will be left to right, bottom row first.

In the red square: Canon Digital Rebel with 18-55mm kit lens Mounted on it, vertical grip with double battery compartment. 1gb CF card and infrared remote trigger Canon 28-135mm f3.5-5.6, USM IS (the shiny lens) Sigma EF-500 DG Super flash some crappy tiny tripod with spider legs

In the blue square: a magenta square containing my cameraphone. ^_^ Miranda Sensorex w/50mm f1.8 lens Vivitar 285HV Zoom Thyristor flash with "Vari Power" two polarizing filters (for the 50 and the wide) Super-macro Bellows cheapo tiny tripod with stiff legs 21mm 3.8f wide angle Soligor lens 2x teleconverter for Miranda 90-230mm 4.5f Telezoom Soligor lens

And in the green square: Minolta Maxxum 7000 with 50mm lens f1.7 Minolta Maxxum 2800 AF Flash Minolta Maxxum 100-300mm Zoom xi lens w/macro, f4.5-5.6

Across the top: crumpler camera bag (sweetness. http://www.crumplerusa.com ) generic camera bag from 30 years ago (or so) And on the right: New Benbo Tripod. (love these so much)

Next!
This is my paternal grandfather's old photo gear that no one else wanted when he died. I couldn't bear to let it go to the estate auction, so it's mine now.


I don't have all this in front of me, so the specs will be from memory as best I can.

Bottom left to top left: Canon FTb Body Some remote thing for I don't know what Canon 2x teleconverter In small orange box: a clockwork time-delay shutter-release. Very cool little thingy. a plain old cable-release Canon A1 Body Large rubber lens shade for the medium sized lens A sliding side flash mount An old Kodak Disk-film camera.

Lenses (all FD mount): 100-300mm telezoom, f5.6 35-105mm (I think), f3.5 50mm f1.8 Bottom Right: two small square flashes in cases Polarizing and UV filters T4 adapter for the zoom lenses

And there you have it.
Mostly.
I have some non-functional stuff too, that's real purty but can't count as cameras at the moment. ^_^

i love crumpler bags! they had them for sale when i went to the giftshop at the eastman house like 3 years ago, and i'm still drooling over them.

they're so expensive though!

yeah, they're not cheap, but damn are they wonderful. I have the photo bag and I also have a shoulder laptop bag that I carry to work everyday.

Lifetime warranty too, makes the price a little easier to bear. If a buckle breaks, or if the strap breaks, or the velcro wears out, they'll fix it free, forever. Pretty cool. I plan to carry mine for a good chunk of forever.

Ahhh I see you know the wisdom of the vertical grip as well. Very nice sir. Although Im amused that you included your camera phone.

Disc film = BAD STAB KILL

Checking out these Crumpler bags now....

[inahandbasket]

vertical grip 4 t3h win!
Crumplers can be hard to find, but they're awesome, sturdy, padded bags.

If you do get one, get a slightly larger one than you think you'll need. They're so padded it kill some of the space available.

If I could navigate their SITE!!!! Christ its like trying to go through the BooBah web page!

[inahandbasket]

oh yeah, the flash site sucks.
do some googling on "crumpler bags", you'll find some resellers with far easier pages.
