Looking to sell off my DX as I'm transitioning to FX. Will pick up either a 70-200 or a 80-200 and a 50mm prime soonish. oh and a 105mm micro too.
 
1. buy $50,000 worth of camera supplies

2. never take a picture worth showing others

3. ???

4. profit
 
canon rebel t1i
kit lens 18-55 is (almost never used)
sigma 17-70 (90% of the time)
canon 55-250 is
canon 50mm 1.8 "nifty fifty"

i'm definitely amateur and don't shoot a ton. mainly shoot nature type stuff, some landscapes. a good amount of semi-abstract stuff. I like to do a fair amount of manipulation in photoshop/lightroom etc. my next lens will be a macro...i'm thinking the canon 100mm. I also need a couple flashes.

oh, also thinking about getting into small animal nature photography (birds/squirrels/etc) since there are a ton of them around here and they're always doing crazy shit. any recommendations on any way to get decent results with around a $500 lens budget? I'm thinking it really needs to be at least 400mm, possibly with a teleconverter involved to reach that. 250mm on my canon 55-250 is not near enough and I've had a cheap 300mm that also wasn't enough.

and lastly...my most recent purchase was a tripod...the "Dolica AX620B100 62-Inch Proline Tripod and Ball Head." I got it for $21 on black friday and it is amazing for that price. I highly recommend it for a cheap but high quality tripod. Anything under $50 is an amazing deal, its easily comparable to $100+ tripods

Canon 60D (crop)

Tamron 28-75 2.8 99%
Tamron 28-300 macro 1%

Mostly just family pictures, but I do some other photography on the side as well. Mainly landscape and portraits.

I've recently been reading a lot of articles about how great (and cheap) vintage lenses are. So I've just started buying some and experimenting. Currently I've got:

Olympus OM 50mm 1.8
Olympus OM 28mm 2.8

I bought both of them for $120. I recently won a Zeiss M42 50mm 2.8 on ebay for $36 that I'm excited to get and try out. I'm going to do some side by side comparisons and keep the best lenses.
 
Canon 40D

I shoot reportage, landscapes, architecture, portraits, fashion, HDR.. Ive been published twice in the last 2 years.

Really once you at least get any DSLR where you have more DOF control and RAW it doesn't really matter what equipment you own. You can rent anything these days for a pretty cheap price.
 
Im too lazy to list my shit, it's a quarter after 5 in the morning.

I'm shooting film right now out of a Pentax K1000 and a Canon AE-1 Program. Both have 50mm lenses in f/1.4 range.

Currently looking for a darkroom setup to do my own b&w printing.

Sort of true, especially for journalism type stuff, but there are definitely things you can't do without the equipment. Kind of like you can definitely paint anything with basic brushes, but there are some things that just won't be feasible (or at least enjoyable) if you only have small rounds etc
 
canon esxi rebel or whatever its called
i have the standard lense
and a 75-125mm one (i think?) for longer shots

i'm not exactly that big into photography, so i probably sound retarded when i describe the equipment

i got it for the wife :shrug:
 
Canon XSI
canon 18-55 IS
canon 75-300 USM - (great for beaches and bikinis)
canon 85mm 1.8
canon 50mm 1.8
sigma 30mm 1.4
Canon 430EXII

where

personally I don't have much gear. I own a d300 and a couple lenses. But that's because i can just borrow a lens like the 300 2.8 afs, 70-200, 50 1.4, etc.. we actually have a briese.. so its no problem getting gear to shoot with.

Canon EF
-Canon 50mm 1.4

I typically shoot Agfa APX 400, Ilford Delta 3200, and Efke/Adox 25 black and white films. With the industrial/urban abstract photography I do, I've never felt the need for any other lens.
 
Just recently upgraded my Canon 20D to a 60D

Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS
&
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L IS Macro

I use both about equally
