What do you have in your bag?

[Big Mark]

I thought it might be a good idea for everyone to list what equipment they have so we kind of get an idea of the foundation everyone has:

I've got
Canon XTi Body
EF 28-135mm 3.5 IS
EF 50mm 1.8
EF-S 18-55mm 3.5 (kit lens)
430EX Flash

Next thing on the list is a good telephoto, but havent made up my mind on which yet.

[LarryD]

Body: Canon 5d
Lens lineup: Canon 17-40L (f4), Canon 24-70L (f2.8), Canon 70-200L/(f2.8)
Flash: 430EX

Its none of your damned business... pervert.

Kodak Easyshare CX7525
5.0 MP, 3x optical zoom, 5x digital zoom

Love this camera. It takes great pics and decent video. My only wish is that it had better optical zoom and an option for an auxiliary flash.

I also have a Pentax ZX-60 35mm. (http://www.pentaximaging.com/products/product_details/product--ZX-60/reqID--5002/subsection--film_slr) Great camera that takes great pics. The only drawback is that 35mm film has gotten so expensive to purchase and develop.

I REALLY need to get better lenses... I am looking at the same the 70-200 IS 2.8 and I think it's a 17-40... both of those are L lenses and cost more than I make in a month.

sell the 20D body and get the 17-40. with your cropped sensor, you should have the 10-22, too -- wide is fun. don't bother with the IS on the 70-200. it's not really worth $600 -- that could buy another lens.

Larry, I can't sell the body... I need it as a back-up at weddings and such. BUT, you can always GIVE me your 17-40. Now there's and idea! :woohoo:

Two bags.

Pentax K10D
Sigma 18-135mm f2.8-5.6 wide angle lens
Pentax AF-360FGZ flash

Nikon D70
Nikkor 24-120VR lens
Sigma 18-70mm f2.8 lens
Nikon Speedlight S-600 flash

I love the D-70 but I like the idea of having image stabilization regardless of the lens, especially in a 10 mp camera. I haven't used the K10D much yet but my wife is a florist and she has a couple of events this weekend. I hope to work it out a little then.

Worked out my K10D a little bit today, came home and found out what isn't in my bag - a SDHC reader. I just got a 4G SDHC card so I could have more capacity for shooting in RAW. Turns out that most readers can't read them.
Woulda' been kind of handy to know.:censored:

what's SDHC?

[DireWolf]

what's SDHC?

Secure Digital High Capacity. My Pentax takes SD cards rather than compact flash like my Nikon. The readers on my computer and my printer will read the standard SD cards. They just won't read the high capacity SD cards.
