Gear

One of the first things other photographers ask is what kind of gear do you use. What is below is my inventory.
Nikon 18-70mm f3.5 DX  kit lens that came with the D70
I've taken a lot of photos with this lens. It is very clear but doesn't have much range.
Sigma 10-20 f4 lens
This is a really wide lens and has the advantage of giving extreme depth-of-field.
Sigma 50mm f2.8 DG macro
This little lens is nice if you can get very close to the subject of the picture.
Sigma APO 150 f2.8 macro lens
This is the lens I use for most of my insects and a lot of the flower shots. It doesn't have stabilazation but with the newer cameras that isn't a big problem.
Sigma 50-500 telephoto.
This is a really big & heavy lens. It doesn't have motion stabilization so a person nearly has to use a tripod. I used it for a few years but it's too heavy for me now.
Tamron 18-400
Fely & I both have these. My favorite lens, as it's range is from 18mm to 400mm ( the equavalent of 27mm to 600) on a full frame camera) and can be used for macro, scenics, or telephoto. It is very clear and has image stabilzation.
Tamron 150-600 G2 telephoto
My bird lens. This lens is equavelent to 225-900 on a full frame camera and the image stabilization is good enough to hand hold shots. As long as the light is good I use it and then use the 18 to 400 when light is low.
Nikon SB 800 flash.
I've had this flash about 15 years now and have nothing bad at all to say about it.
Nikon R2 SB20 Micro Flash
This is the flash I use for macro work. Nice.
Gitzo G220 Tripod  with Neewer Gimbal-style Head
I've had the tripod for over 15 years and got the head last year. The head is a cheap Chienese knock off but works fine for a tenth the price.
