I have been asked repeadly what camera stuff I use. Heres a reasonably complete list with comments. This is why I donโt change to shoot canon. Also, I believe Nikon offers better equipment.
LENSES
80โ400mm VR
This offers great reach, especially when used with the D300 DX sensor
50mm 1.4
Great fast lens for some portraits etc. Its a little wide on the D3โs FX sensor.
85mm 1.8
This is great for shooting shows, kids dance concerts etc
70โ200 VR 2.8 (my favourite lens)
This is fantastic. Its sharp and on the FX sensor, is even better for basketball and similar tasks
10.5mm 2.8 DX
AS this is a DX lens, its really only good for the D300 but the 14โ24 2.8 is good enough on the FX
12โ24 f4 (DX)
Fantastic lens. Mostly kept on the D200 for underwarter work (with the aquatica housing)
14โ24 2.8 (non DX)
This lens is so sharp its amazing. suits the FX sensor perfectly.
105mm Macro (2.8)
Great macro lens
105mm Macro 2.8 (VR)
I bought this to replace the above but it goes to f3.5 with focus distance changes. really strange.
60mm Macro
Great portraid lens (also used in housing on D200 for underwater shots)
18โ200VR DX
Fantastic holiday lens (when you only want to take 1 with you) but being DX its not much good on the D3
TC14 and TC20
Both work well with the 70โ200 but I havent used them since the 80โ400 arrived
LIGHTING AND STUDIO
4 x SB800 (with 2 x SD8Aโs) and SBR200 + SU-800 for macro work
Great for playing around or for a really portable studio effect.
6 Studio flashes, 2 high power daylight fluro banks all with softboxes, reflectors, backdrops etc
Misc transmitters, Brackets, Tripods, Monopods etc.
CAMERAS
D2x, D200, D300 ,D3 and 2 x D100โs
