If you upgrade, are you planning on selling the 7000? Still on the hunt for a decent shooter for my post Afghanistan road trip
What do you shoot with?
- Thread starter The EVP
- Start date
Film: Leica Minilux, Nikon FM2, Rolleiflex 2.8F Planar, Hasselblad 503CM (I don't shoot film anymore so they are all in dry storage)
DSLR: Nikon D800
Nikon Glass: 20/2.8 AFD, 28/2.8 AIS (love this gem), 35/1.4 AFS, 50/1.4 AFD, 85/1.4 AIS, 135/2 DC, 70-200/2.8 VRII, TC-14E II
Zeiss: 100/2 ZF.2 Makro-Planar
Of all the glass I own, I use the 50mm the most, followed by the 135 and then the 100. If I'm doing street people photography (or on nature hikes), I use the gun 70-200 (not discreet, but it suits my style of shooting). I really love the D800. It was a huge step up from the D700 in terms of image resolution. I am truly amazed by it. The 35mm sits mostly as I shoot a lot of portraits (family) of late. Not a big fan of that angle on faces, though can be used to great effect. Great travel lens. That 28 I mentioned is amazing. You can get within an inch or two of your subject and at such a wide angle affords some pretty cool imagery. Can be had pretty cheap on the used market.
I used to shoot a lot of film and loved the Rolleiflex. Really cool camera and the Zeiss glass is amazing! The Hassie was fun too, but was used more for landscapes and tripod use.
Curious to know what others like in terms of glass... It really is the key to great photography, aside from the users' input!

I rented one of those when I went down to the Dover race to shoot for the track and fell in love with it! Pictures were clear and even race cars going 180 were so clear that you could read "Goodyear Eagle" on them and no blur whatsoever. Two weeks later, I went and bought one (with the wife's blessing of course). My next lens is a 24-70 f/2.8 for concert photography.
Sony 70-200 f/28
Sony 18-135 f/3.5
Sony 55-300 F/4.5
Sony 18-70 f/3.5
The next addition will be a 24-70 f/2.8 or thereabouts for concert photography. Currently I use the 18-135 for that but need a flash which tends to piss off some of the acts even though I put my hand in front of it as much as possible to diffuse as much of the light as I can.

Big Gulps, huh?
Back when I was shooting heavily, I was using a 1D Mark II and a 70-200 f/2.8 Non-IS. Had to sell it all to keep a roof over my head, but now I'm at the point where when I get back into it, I'm going to get a Mark IV for a body, 70-200 again and probably a 24L or a 35L.
My main go-to camera is a Sony A-65 and I have a variety of lenses (prime and zoom) that takes me from 18mm - 300mm in focal length. I am a mirrorless camera evangelist and I think hybrid photography (combining of stills, audio, video, transitions) is the next iteration of photography, so that's what I've been focusing on lately (pun not really intended, but I'll take credit). Most of my work is commercial but I also spend a lot of time in the studio doing fine art (mostly still life setups).
Some of their video camera are just unreal!!! I used to work for them on the wireless mobile side as a product rep and the store gave me a price on the A65 that I just couldn't turn down. Would love to get the A99 eventually.
Used to shoot Minolta, then Sony. Had all the top glass (Ziess) but switched last year to Canon.
Now I shoot with a 5D Mk3, 70-200/2.8L IS II, 24-135/4L IS, 85/1.8.
While I still prefer the Sony for portrait work I prefer the Canon for low light and action, which is more of what I do now.
