Matthew Buick Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I'm sure most of you gathered here must own one, what I'm wondering is which model, and what lenses you have for it. Thanks! Sony A300 + 18 - 70mm & 55 - 200mm lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Paul Bruening Posted January 7, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted January 7, 2009 Kodak DCS ProC. Canon MPE 65mm 1:5 macro, 50mm plastic barreled klunker. I've got a lovely Nikon FM2 FSLR and a pile of primes to fit it. I'd just about sell a kidney to get a 5D MII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Rodgar Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Nikon D90 with a 50 mm f1.8 prime and assorted Nikon and Sigma zooms. Less than 3 months after the purchase date, the sensor developed one dead pixel cluster. :( It is covered by warranty, but I will lose my camera for about a month. That is why I hate digital!!!!!!! :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted January 8, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted January 8, 2009 Canon EOS-400D. The 60mm EF-S macro prime is stunning. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sheehy Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Canon EOS 400D with battery grip, 430EX flash, Canon 18-55, 70-210, 35-105, & Tamron 55-200. I'm with Paul on the 5D MII.. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Keller Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I'm still using my old Nikon D100. I've got megapixel envy, but thus far I haven't had any real need for more resolution, so I haven't upgraded. I'm more likely to buy the replacement on the desire for a bigger buffer than more resolution. As for lenses, I habitually shoot with an off-brand 35-80 (which I'm not thrilled with, but it's fine for snapshots) and a Nikkor AF 70-210 (which is amazing). But the beauty of the D-series is that the closet full of f-mount lenses my dad and I have acquired over the years fit it just fine, so whatever lens is right for what I'm going to shoot, I can usually find without any cost or trouble.

Mike Williamson Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I've got a Canon Digital Rebel XT with 50mm 1.4, 28mm 1.8, 135mm 2.0, 17-40mm 4.0, and 70-200mm 4.0. As you can see, the money went to lenses. I'm also looking forwards to losing some semi-essential body part to finance a 5D mk2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Rodgar Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 OK, I would like to know if there is a single cine member left who isn't ready to lose vital organs to acquire a 5DII? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Auner aac Posted January 9, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted January 9, 2009 OK, I would like to know if there is a single cine member left who isn't ready to lose vital organs to acquire a 5DII? Yes, Saul, I do. OTOH I'd be ready to loose something for a Nikon D3x. My appendix, anyone? Concerning your D90 there is something that might help you. Nikon has something called NPS, Nikon Professional Service. You register your (camera) body and a couple of lenses to become a member. One of the services you're eligible too is a replacement body when yours is on repair. You can also check out stuff for free to test. Check it out here: Nikon NPS. Don't really know how it works on your side of the pond... Regards, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted January 9, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted January 9, 2009 What's all this "digital rebel" drivel? It's a 300D everywhere except the US. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil, come on, you have to admit, Digital Rebel sounds so much more hip and cool than 300D. Get that and the Xtreme Thunder Revolutionary for 16mm and you'll rule the world! ;) Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Buick Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 What's all this "digital rebel" drivel? It's a 300D everywhere except the US. The EOS 300 was a huge leap in DSLR afforability if my history is accurate. Perhaps the '300' was trying to do the job a bridge camera would do nowadays, namely, luring the trendy young compact user in to paying more for a camera. Plus it makes it sound like a good camera for active outdoor photography. Anyway, thanks for the input guys! I love the way DSLR are connecting us all in this thread. Now how about some photgraphs from your cameras now! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Borowski Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 What's all this "digital rebel" drivel? It's a 300D everywhere except the US. P Maybe it is an attempt to appeal to those in the deep South who haven't gotten over the outcome of the Civil War, or to those who still look back with fond memories to when the United States cast off the yoke of oppression levied upon us by our "colonial masters" ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Buick Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Sony A300 Soon that'll be a A200. I'm downgrading to the better camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Buick Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Got it today! It's amazing how much nicer to use than the A300. I never saw too much wrong with the A300's viewfinder, but that A200's is like a move from pinhole to pin factory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish Puthan Valiyandi Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Konica Minolta D7D with lenses ranging from 17mm to 200mm ...thinking about upgrading to an a900 :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Buick Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 ...thinking about upgrading to an a900 :blink: You lucky thing! The only time I'll be able to afford one of them is when they're old an out of date. From what I've read it has the best optical viewfinder of any DSLR in existance. 100% coverage, and fantastically bright adnd clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Chris Keth Posted January 23, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted January 23, 2009 I've got a little panasonic pocket camera (that I love, BTW) but other than that, my newest camera is 55 years old. The next newest is 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Wells Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Nikon D3 with a few 1980's primes, all manual I don't use auto anything. I shoot with 35 PC-Nikkor or 105/2.5 mostly, I'm a lens minimalist these days. I am actually shooting a movie with this, time lapse and ~ 8 fps bursts retiming in Shake - Insane :D I've said before, I'd love to have 24 fps of what this sensor can do in FF/RAW. It would *smoke* the uh, you know <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Buick Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Canon EOS 10D with Canon 35-105 I'm surprised Stuart.

I think I invented a new word there! Well, I do have a Sigma 70-300, but the AF motor is broken, so it's very difficult to use. Yet another reason to buy manual lenses....

Matthew Buick Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 And I thought Sigma were quality... <_< Very sorry to hear that Stuart, that lens must have cost more than my DSLR ans lenses combined! Though simply removing the AF motor will surey work, it can't retard your focusing if is isn't there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Brereton Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Some Sigma lenses are great. Some aren't. The 70-300 is one of those that aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
