I only have one camera a Nikon D810 that I traded my D7200 in on. I only have 4 lens's. A Tamron 45mm 1.8, a Tamron 24-70 2.8 G2 a Tamron 70=200 2,8 G2 and a Sigma 150-600C. When I had film camera's I did have two. Slide film in one and print in the other. Both were Olympus.

It's a Photography forum, Dude. Most Togs I have met face-to-face love to talk gear and compare. Just go with it, even if it IS Chris.


I doubt that it is ChrisT. He would have been presenting obsure, inane arguments by now!

I will start with Film. Nikkormat, Nikon F2, Mint Nikon S2 Rangefinder, Yashica Electro 35, Yashica May 124, Mamiya C330. All in full working order and I Do use them. I like the S2 the best. It is like a fine piece of Jewelry. Photos are excellent.

Yes, I'm bored too. Nikon D300, my go to, Nikon D80, my back up, Nikon Coolpix, old but still used when small and easy are the operative words and a Canon EOS film SLR used to gather dust (on the case) in the closet.

If people envy your gear, that's worth something, isn't it?

Great question for a lock down day at home, plenty of time to reply!!

I'll go about listing my gear and also what/how I use them.

1. Nikon F3 hp with a Tamron Novoflex 60~300 pistol grip follow focus lens - used very rarely now.
2. Canon AT - with a bunch of lenses - showcased - not used since 1995.
3. Nikon D60 with a kit 18~55 lens and a 55~200 DX lens - Its used to teach/introduce children to photography.
4. Nikon D7200 fitted with the Nikon AF Nikkor 200mm F/4D Micro - use it for Macro work, normally tripod mounted, but also use it with a gun butt support for hand held use. I have attached an image below.
5. Nikon D810 with the Nikkor 200~500 - only used for shooting video. I like that I can use the AF-ON back button to Auto focus. I have attached an image of the rig below.
6. Nikon D500 fitted with my second Nikkor 200~500 lens, I use it for when I require a zoom for subjects that might get close enough to require doing so.
7. Nikon D500 (second body) fitted with the Nikkor 500 f5.6, I use this most the time for my bird photography.
8. Nikon D850 fitted with the 300 f4E and TC 1.4E III, This set up is by my side when I drive anywhere, I like that I have a Perceived Angle of View from 300mm (sans the TC), otherwise 420mm in FX, through 4 other modes of sensor size crop up to to 630mm in DX mode.

As a rule, I seldom, if ever, remove the lens from the body to keep the debris out. Each specific set up has an advantage, the D7200 with the 200mm Micro for Macro work is great, I can shoot from a distance so's not to disturb the subject and also the DX crop down gets a perceived reach of 300mm and 400mm in the 1.3 mode. Its a great set up.

I hope this hasn't been a bore, thank you for giving me something to think about and do.

Canon EOS Elan 7E Don't use, but thinking about it!
Canon 20D Don't use
Canon 40D Use with a Tamron 28-300 on it.
Canon 5Dlll Use with a Canon 24-105 F4L on it
Sony DSC-W830 Use when I want a pocket camera
Kodak Poloroid I have no idea what happened to this.
Canon T-90 I traded this on the Elan 7E which I have always regretted, it was so cool.
I have the 5D lll set up on a copy stand, I am copying minutes of our Lodge meetings which date back to 1845, so far i have 1947 to present done. Sorry for rambling.

For anyone who is bored, you can help me teach my physics class ... online. This is an unusual class, but actually fun to teach.

BTW, two Canon 5DII, and two Lumix TZ80 pocket cameras. Actually, it's the Lumix camera I need to learn more.

I have a 6D and a recently purchased M50 - I gave my daughter my Canon SL-1 (the M50 is its replacement) and I sold my 7D. The 6D has been a great camera to shoot with. I bought the M50 primarily as a travel camera. I like to travel light (my son has trained me, only a backpack and a shoulder bag) so the smaller camera is great. I will admit that cameras for me are a want not a need!

Olympus OM-1, NIKON F4, D3, D810 & D850. The D6 is calling to me. I bought into the Nikkor system a long time ago.

Stuck at home.
