List your camera's

[Cruisergal1975]

Different paths... :)

 

Make that 40 years for me and the first thirty with Minolta. When KM pulled out of the camera business, I stayed with Sony. I had a couple of bouts with buyer's remorse and took a lot of heat from friends in the CaNikon camp for the first few years but my choice has finally paid off with Sony on a roll now. Heck, they even make most of everyone else's sensors. Who'd have predicted that 10 years ago?

 

The good news it that it has become almost impossible to make a bad brand choice these days. Competition has all of them pushing the limits of the tech and everybody that clicks a shutter is a winner because of it.

 

Happy shooting...with whatever's on your list!

 

Dave

 

Dave, I came very close to making the same decision and sticking with Sony, very happy with Nikon but do miss my 7000 at times. To this day I maintain that Minolta had some of the very best glass out of anyone.

 

Have a great night!!

Fuji F200

Sony TX1 (still have in storage)

Sony T100 (gave to family - still in use)

Sony L1 (gave to family - still in use)

The recent batch of trade-ins - A580 body, A550 body, NEX-5N body, Tamron 90mm F2.8 lens, Tamron 10-24mm lens, and Sigma 30mm F1.4 lens brought in a bit over $1,000, which went towards the $998 A6300 and the $599 A68 bodies...along with a little tax return money. The future lens, the FE70-300mm, will be about $1,100 - so we'll have to see if we can sell a few more photos to cover some or all of the cost!

I'm currently at the end of my transition from DSLR to Sony E-Mount. I still have a DSLR but sold the second body to buy an e-mount mirrorless compact. The Mirrorless impressed me but couldn't hold a candle to the DSLR image or speed. Then another mirrorless generation came out. And another..

 

What a difference 4 years makes.

 

A-mount:

SLT-A77 - will convert to infrared if not sold.

Minolta Maxxum 20mm f/2.8 - Fate tied to A77 (kept if converted)

Sigma 50mm f/1.4 - to be sold

Sony 16-50 f/2.8 SSM - Fate tied to A77 - kept and adapted to E via LAEA3 unless A77 sold as kit

Minolta Maxxum 100mm f/2.8 Macro - Keeper - adapted via LAEA1 fine for macro

Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG APO (screw-drive focusing) - to be sold

Matching Sigma 1.4x and 2.0x converters for 70-200 - to be sold

Lensbaby Composer with various optics - Keeper - adapted via LAEA1

 

E-mount:

NEX-C3 - Retired from backup/second body chores - will likely be given to friend

A6000 - Faithful shooter moved to backup/second body status

A6300 - New kid on the block

Rokinon 8mm f/2.8 Fisheye

Rokinon 12mm f/12

Sony 16-50mm PZ

Sony 18-105 f/4

Sigma 19mm f/2.8

Sigma 30mm f/2.8

Sony 50mm f/1.8

Sony 55-210mm

 

Since the A6300 eats the A77 alive in every category except battery life, I'm in the market for a high-quality telephoto to fill the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8's slot. The 55-210mm is remarkably good for a kit lens but...well, you know. The 70-200 f/4 G and now the 70-300 f/4.5-f/5.6 G are under consideration.

 

HVL42 flash - adapted to Multi Interface Shoe

 

Alien Bees strobes and modifiers

 

Filters and stuff

 

Several tripods of incremental age and value

 

Old film Minolta Maxxums (7000i and 5000), kept for some reason.

 

Konica-Minolta A2 digicam. Really a pretty amazing instrument for it's time.

 

 

 

Still cheaper by far than a ski boat or restoring a '60s muscle car!

I have been a Canon man for the last several decades starting with a Canon AE-1 which was after I got rid of my Pentax from the mid 1960's with a High Voltage Pack powering a Honeywell Strobonar flash. Since the AE-1 it was a Canon T3i and now the T4i with extended twin battery pack. I also have a small Nikon point and shoot and a GoPro Hero 3+ for really fun things to do.

 

Lenses are Canon EFS 18-135 IS

Tokina 10-20

 

Simple package that I have taken to Europe and many stateside destinations. I have 10 memory cards for it.

The best camera is the one you have that works like you want it to!

[GottaKnowWhen]

I copied one of the camera equipment listings posted here recently and cross-posted on a photo discussion group. The brand/type of equipment shown in the list had been discussed recently in that other group, and I thought that the list gave examples that might be interesting. And the subtext was how many of us struggle with an urge to acquire more new toys. (Been there, done that.) I was careful to not include the poster's screen name or any other information that could identify them. I didn't even explicitly identify CC as the source.

 

What happened instead was that my post kicked off a discussion of the dangers of posting such information online. "Not an issue here" I claimed. "Identities protected by screenames, as long as we are careful not to post emails who could find us without hacking the blog's database, blah blah blah." So one of the group members spent a few minutes and pretty much nailed the identity of the original poster. Since the poster is in a finance/insurance position, his camera gear and 2015 audi are probably covered in the event of theft. But still I am thinking that he and I and many of us participating in this thread might want to exercise a bit of caution in sharing information. Anybody looking for an illicit source of camera gear that could be easily fenced wouldn't have too much difficulty finding this discussion thread (conveniently labeled List your cameras) and browsing through for potential targets.

[trippingpara]

I started with Minolta film and stayed with Sony since I was a broke college student and couldn't afford to buy all new lenses. Couldn't be happier. I'm absolutely loving my new A99!

I'll probably be the only one, but Pentax here! K-50 and K-01 and a couple of zoom's plus some old primes from my Pentax ME film days. Yes, you can use any lens Pentax ever made on their digital DSLR's. Anyway, gearing up for a Medi cruise in a few weeks and trying to decide how much gear to haul along!

[flatlander321]

Point-n-Shoot: Sony Cybershot H70 and H90

 

Bridge: Lumix FZ-200 and FZ-300

 

Mirrorless: Sony A3000 and A6000

 

Lenses: 16-50pz, 18-55, 55-210 Sony kit lenses, Rokinon 12mm f2

 

Teleconvertor: 1.7x B-300 setup for FZ-200/300 (stabilized 1020mm eq.)

 

All but the FZ-200 will go on our Alaska cruise in 6 weeks. One of the bridge cameras will be sold or traded after the cruise.

I have the K-1 on preorder. I have used Pentax gear since the ME-Super in 1982. But most of my full frame lenses have gone over the years to finance APS-C gear. Yes, I can use those on the new camera, but there will be cropping and vignetting involved... Looking forward to Alaska later this year!

Great, you don't run into someone shooting Pentax very often! You know, 1982 is probably right when I got my ME-Super also! I still have it but the metering doesn't work anymore. I'm going to wait on the FF for a while but I do like how they have the built in cropping for the APSC lenses. I'm tending to take less gear and stay lighter these days. Still not sure what I'm taking on the Greek island cruise next week, I'm thinking about leaving the 55-300mm home and just go with the K-50 and 18-135mm and my Oly TG4.

[Bill S]

Started with a Minolta SRT101 in 1970 & went to a Nikon D50 about 20 years ago but got tired of lugging that camera and lenses around during travels.

 

Went to Point & Shoots with most recent being a Canon SX600HS-a decent P&S in my opinion. But, I grew weary of its limitations, particularly in zoom.

 

So, last month I bit the SLR bullet (again) and went with a Nikon D5300. Wow, a lot has changed since the D50! Smaller, lighter, more versatile, etc. I chose 3 Nikkor lenses, all light weight by comparison: 18-55mm; 55-200mm; and a manual focus 50mm f/1.8. Also got a fantastic, comfortable, bungee-style neck strap: no neck pain anymore!

 

Looking forward to using it & lenses on an upcoming Alaska cruise.

Nope, not the only Pentaxian... K1000, K100D, K-30, K-50, and a WG-10 snorkeling p&s. Assorted lenses dating back to the late 70s. My usual walkabout kit is the K-50 & 18-135WR zoom. Good image quality and weather sealing good enough to go under Niagara Falls (literally, I did).

Wasn't th dial a sweet little bit of gear, I loved mine.

Wasn't th dial a sweet little bit of gear, I loved mine.

 

What a surprise and here I thought that I had the only Dial 35 ever sold. It was my first real camera and I loved the spring winder. I carried it at my side for candid photos without offending anyone.

I owned a least three of them over the years, really the first, take everywhere I ever had. Also gave you (as you allude to) a motor wind when motor winds were crazy expensive.

 

I leant the art of developing B&W (negative) film into B&W slides on film shot in a Dial.

Very small world. I learned as well at the US Army Craft Shop in Korea. It was surprising that the shop even sold the half-frame slides.

I've got rid of my M43 gear and went back to an APS-C sensor. Got the Nikon D5500. The image quality and focusing is so much better along with better dynamic range. I also got the 18-140 and 55-300 lenses along with an existing 35mm prime. The 70-300 is on my wish list.

[Kiwi_cruiser]

It has been 4 years since I last posted in this thread :eek:, so here an update of the cameras I now & still have:

 

Fujifilm FinePix A820 (It goes underwater in its underwater case).

 

Olympus SP590UZ (Ultra Zoom) - This camera just died a few weeks back :(

 

Olympus Tough TG-3

 

Olympus Tough TG-4

 

and in ‎March ‎2016, as my old Olympus SP590UZ, was playing up, I picked up a new camera:

 

Canon PowerShot SX60 HS

 

I had hope to stick with Olympus, but the camera I wanted I could not get in time for our cruise, so I thought to give Canon a try :)

[Stevi]

Another Pentaxian here. Originally I started with a second hand film era Practica. I had a couple of M42 lenses with it too. When I decided to make the leap into the DSLR field the cost of the new gear and the ease of being able to use the M42 lenses and film era Pentax lenses had me going Pentax. I started with a K-r and now use a K-3.

I have a whole host of lenses:

 

Pentax Lenses

10-17mm

40mm pancake lens

18-55mm - kit lens for K-r

18-135mm came with K-3

55-300 New version that is WR

 

Sigma 400mm

 

and a whole host of film era lenses.
