EQUIPMENT
A convict Canon user, which cameras I've used from the old FTb to the new
EOS 1D series, Iam usually carrying lighter bodies, like the EOS 20D, not
worried about the 1.6 x crop the smaller sensor introduces.
A 17-40, a 100mm macro a 28-135mm and a 100-400 mm are also regularly used
in my work, which has turned digital since the late 90.
Sigma lenses are something I've started to use since Portugal got a
rightfull representative. The 10-20 mm and the 17-70 mm MACRO are some of
the new lenses I trust.
As for bags there's only a name I know: Lowepro. I've a whole collection of
them, from the very early and classic Lowepro Mini Trekker Classic ( the
very early, without AW protection, and it still goes strong) to the recent
Micro Trekker, Stealth and Compu-Trekker. It's a kind of passion but each
fits a special need when Iam photographing.
Tripods come
in to brands: Gitzo and Manfrotto. Usually I mix legs from one with heads
from the other, depending on what I prefer from each of the manufacturers. I
also use monopods, which sometimes are all that I need for some of my
photography. When Iam not bracing a tree, using a wall or some other way to
help me get the shot.
I still use
filters, with a polarizer and some graduated neutrals being usual
accessories in my bag. I also use some esoteric filters, like double-color
polarizers a.s.o if there's a reason.. |
