Equipment Used

The equipment I use often changes depending on the subject matter and what ever equipment is still working. Like a lot of people I have a rather huge wish list of beautiful cameras & lenses I dream of. However, the reality is most are rather expensive and not always necessary.  I have found it is important to keep it simple where ever possible without sacrificing image quality or your budget. A balancing act of what you want verses what you need.Below is my current setup.
