I do a lot of macros so I work with my mp-e 65 1-5x with sigma me-140 ringflash. Other lenses Canon 70-200 2.8 L, Sigma 24-70 2.8, Tokina 12-24mm 4.0, Sigma 18-200 4-5.6 when i just need I lens, and my kit lens Canon 18-55. Other equipt., Canon 580 EXII and Nissin for Canon flash, Manfrotto 728B and converted to have a Manfrotto ballhead as well; Sekonic lightmeter also. Plan to get a Sigma 150mm 2.5 macro or 180mm 3.2 macro and Canon twinhead flash in the near future. I have 3 canon bodies 450D(which i passed on to my wife), 50D and 5D mk2 which I got 4 months ago.

My list will now be short as I've unloaded all my 35mm and MF gear leaving-- Sigma SD-10 with large battery pack loaded with four Li-Ion batteries that last for months suspended on a Tamrac strap that has moved from body to body over the last two decades. Primary lens is a Sigma 30mm 1.4 EX (absolutely excellent) Second lens is a Sigma 24-70mm HF Aspherical (so so) Third is a Sigma longish zoom, kit quality, seldom used so I don't even remember what it is exactly. Flash is the Sigma 500--not very satisfactory--camera and flash seem to have difficulty communicating. Most work with this camera is natural light art nudes converted to B&W. The 30mm prime lens (50mm equiv on the Sigma) is perfect for nude work as it is sharp through the image and gives human eye perspective to the image. The Foveon is superb for this type of work as the colour information, which is complete at all pixel locations, makes for a smooth transition using B&W algorithms for traditional B&W films. It's a bulky camera, slow to write, slow to shoot but with simple controls and excellent image quality under the right circumstances. My "other" camera is a Canon G11 that replaced a Leica Digilux 1 some time ago. Amazing what can be done with it. A very ecclectic selection here.

Well , I`m a newbie and I wanted to start with some basic equipment , and go slowly towards DSLR . I`m a slow learner so I needed something to start with . Also I want to learn from my mistakes so it will take a while since I rich a moment to need greater equipment .

For lenses I use a Canon 70-200 2.8 IS and I have to say that since I got that lense I have never regret one single minute my purchase....it is just great. I also use a Sigma 24-70 2.8 and I have to say this is a fantastic lense. I also use a 500D macro filter for the 70-200 and boy...that really works !!! I also carry a Metz Flash and a couple of filters for special shots. I just bought me a Gorilla tripod which has resulted very handy at times. Well thats it...of course at home I keep other gear nad stuff I only use at my home studio Cheers from Switzerland Gabriel Hi All,
