teng.xiong Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I was just wondering what everyone uses and for what situation? I use a D300 with a 17x55 lense in the Studio.I use a D40x with a 18x200 vr lense for out of the studio photography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett_davis1 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I use a D1 for newspaper and web shooting and am swapping my D100 for a D1x for everything else (fine art shots, etc.). I'm an early adopter. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett_davis1 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Oh, I do have a 17-55 and a 70-180, plus a few random single focal lengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Laur Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 D200. A variety of lenses to suit the situation, but happiest with the results from the 70-200VR, the 60/2.8 Micro, the Sigma 10-20 HSM, the classic 50/1.8. Happiest when the only thing I'm <i>carrying</i> around is an 18-200, but there are compromises there. Have just started using a 30/1.4, and we'll see how that does in lower light for that "normal" focal length. So far, I like it a lot, but have to get used to that razor-thin DoF when it's wide open.

RaymondC Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Primarily, D70 with 18-35 and a F100 with 18-35. Most on tripod. In the future I would like to get a 18-135 or 18-200 for travel and a Sigma 10-20 for the digital camera. When the D2h (not hs) gets to $400 I may get one in a few years. I can use DX format for many years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaymondC Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I do landscapes and cityscapes, not into action, sports or street or PJs .. or even portraiture. With my club we do have a monthly theme topic so it tends to be abstract or city photog based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jautey Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 D200 and a D1x as (backup being retiring soon). F100 if I'm in the mood to shoot film. 17-55mm and 80-200 for most studio work and all wedding work. 105mm for macro work. All the above plus 80-400mm, 400mm/2.8 or 500mm/4.0 for outdoor stuff, depending on the subject and situation. I've also got a 20mm prime and a 50mm prime I use occationally (mostly on bad scenic stuff). I only use the big guns (the 400mm/2.8 and 500/4.0) when I'm setting up on a specific location to shoot (such as a bird blind, etc.) they're just too darn heavy and bulky to hike with (thats what the 80-400 is for).

Two23 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I use a large format camera (4x5 field camera) for architectural photos and anything else I want maximum quality on. I use a Nikon DSLR for less demanding photos, and my night photos. I have sufficient lenses for both systems and an extensive portable lighting system.

kohanmike Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Two D70s bodies, one with a Nikon AF 24-85mm f/2.8-4 D Macro (1:2), the other with a Nikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR, a Tokina AT-X Pro 12-24mm f/4 DX. I'm planning to replace the D70s bodies with D300 in the next year. I shoot a variety of things with all the lenses. Tomorrow I'm shooting deli catering platters.

adam zyto Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Got my D80 in October and picked up the following (all Nikon products) since: 17-55mm 2.8 - Results are spectacular, I use it for over 80% of my shots. It?s psychological but I just love the way this lens feels ? heavy and solid. I just love taking pics with this lens, it brings out the best in me. 10mm 2.8 - Sharp and lots of fun fish eye, for special situations only. A good companion to the above. I never know what I?m going to see through this lens ? it?s a blast. 70-300 non-vr (got it very cheap for kids' sports) will probably replace it with a VR zoom at some point) This ?cheap ($80)? purchase was probably a mistake) SB-600 flash with Gary Fong Lightsphere (a must). Still learning how to use the flash, because my 2.8 at ISO 1000 perform so well, I rarely need more light. Looking into the 50mm, just for the speed for indoor existing light for those times when the 2.8?s just can?t cut it. When I get the VR zoom and the 50mm, I?ll be set. Right now, I?m still learning. My first camera (a HS graduation present from dad) was the Canon AE-1 Program, then the Nikon 7000i, so I?ve got a lot of catching up to do.
