Camera Equipment and Gear

Over the last two years I seem to have amassed a great amount of camera gear in the on going search for the perfect photo. Whilst it is true that its the photographer that makes the picture, not the camera body, lenses, filters and all that gumph, I feel it is necessary for me to shoot with the highest possible quality equipment I can afford.

I am a dedicated Nikon shooter. Reasons for this is that a Nikon was the first camera that I ever held and I liked the feel. The rest just went on from there.

I'm happy that I chose Nikon and would never consider switching to Canon or any other system.

I started out in photography 2 years ago with A Nikon d50, and some 6 months later I switched to a D200 semi pro camera body. I have owned a great deal of equipment over the last two years, some of which has come and gone. Below you can find a list of all my current equipment.
