Below is a list of the current equipment I use.

Over time I have found these lenses to be more than adequate for most uses, either for close up macro work (105mm f2.8) or portraiture (50mm f2.5). The 17-70mm I have found to be most useful for landscape or city shooting as well as candid people shots close up.

As with most photographers, it generally takes a while to settle in with a set of lenses that you feel both comfortable and familiar with, especially when out in the field. it can almost be equated to your favourite chair or walking boots, or perhaps that old favourite pipe that just sits so well.

I use a Canon EOS DSLR as I personally think the Canon range is both inovative and technologically advanced, always pushing the limits further and further whilst giving the photographer exactly what they need in a DSLR.

Canon EF 50mm f2.5
