Photo gear list

Photographic gear englishfil currently uses and / or owns.

No gear has been added yet.

DNP DS-80 Fotolusio
Call yourselves photographers - this is a REAL photo printer
Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W3
Too light and crap ergonomics - so now lives in EXPENSIVE underwater housing
Kenko Teleplus Pro 300 AF 1.4x
The one Nikon should have made - and its very good, if a little slow to auto focus
MC MTO-11CA 1000mm f/10 Maksutov
Low cost and thus surprisingly good alternative to Reflex-Nikkor 1000mm f/11
Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D
Equivalent of £69 working in USA a few years ago - absolute bargain for Nikon's best kept secret
Nikon AF-Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8D ED
My first Nikon SLR lens!! May be selling since the advent of AFS 80-400
Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED VR
Excellent travel companion for D200 and D7000
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR
Rounds off (sic) the low end and 77 mm filter compatible
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
Bought as a present for my D800.
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR
Company lens but currently for my exclusive use. Wow!
Nikon D200
First DSLR and rather good - up to ISO 640 that is. On loan to my daughter .
Nikon D800
My new main camera. No left AF point issue detected (sic).
Nikon D7000
Company camera converted to full spectrum capture by Spencer's
Tamron SP AF 10-24mm F/3.5-4.5 Di II LD Aspherical (IF)
Bought at bargain price for wide coverage on D7000/D200 - not bad, but not a Nikkor

Wish list

Items englishfil has added to their 'Photo gear I want' list.

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.4G
Don't know why but it is calling me - well actually it is probably the bokeh
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR
Likely to get 85 1.4 first, but this is definitely on the list.
Nikon TC 800-1.25e
For above

No gear has been added yet.

Canon A1
Back in my 'Brand C' days
Nikon AF Nikkor 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF
Optically quite good - much too much plastic to really love
Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED-IF
Not bad for a kit lens but not a lens to aspire to own
Nikon F5
My first Nikon SLR - I preferred the handling to Canon EOS
