Equipment

  • Canon 20D, now in retirement
  • Canon 40D
  • 300mm f4 IS L. The IS failed after about a year, but still a great lens, super sharp
  • 300m f2.8 L. 18 years old, and very beat up, but still very sharp and fast
  • 70-200 f4 L. Great portable telezoom
  • 100mm f2.8 macro. 5*
  • 85mm f1.8. Great lens, you have to love the boken it produces
  • 50mm f1.8 mk I. Great lens, couldn't find a replacement after I dropped it into Sydney harbour
  • 50mm f1.4. Some people say this isn't a sharp lens, mine proves them wrong
  • 17-40mm f4 L. Great alround lens
  • x1.4 extender mkII. Great, very little impact on image quaility
  • x2 extender mkII. Ok, but requires luck to get a good image. It was fine on the 40D with the liveview. Unfortunately it fell of the car roof. Not on the top of my list from replacement.
  • Mecablitz 54 MZ-4. Works ok, the buttons are loose and compatability with the Canon bodies is patchy. I want to replace it with a Canon some time soon
  • Gitzo. Aluminium solid tripod, the flanges are going, I feel the need for Carbon.
  • Markins M10 A great ball head, still perfect after 4 years.
