What You Got in that Bag?

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

My ever-expanding camera bag has inspired me to write up my current collection of gear.  What started as 1 camera and 1 lens has grown exponentially over the last few months.  Here’s everything I currently have:

So lets start with the cameras:

  • Canon T1i
  • Canon Rebel G
    • Great film starter camera, not enough flexibility and control for pros.
  • Canon A2
    • Since I got the 1N, this has become my backup.  But it is still a great all around camera.
  • Canon 1N
    • This is now my go-to for film.  Has well laid out controls and the construction is really sturdy.  It’s a bit bulkier than the A2, but not too bad.

The lenses:

  • Canon EF-S 18-55 mm f3.5-5.6 IS
    • Kit lens with the T1i.  Used maybe twice to test it out.
  • Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II
    • Great portrait lens on the T1i. Really lightweight and super sharp.
  • Canon EF 28 – 80mm f3.5-5.6 II
    • Kit lens with the Rebel G.  Barely used, but seems sharp.
  • Canon EF 28 – 135mm f3.5-5.6 IS USM
    • This is my all around lens.  It’s a workhorse, is super quiet, and fast.

So there it is.  That’s all of the camera equipment that I use.  Right now, I’m working on building a lighting setup so I’ll keep you posted.
