Equipment
I have used several brands in the last years of my photogrphy like Pentax and canon. At this moment I am using Olympus gear and I am meer dan pleased with it. What I like is the Image Stabalisation in the camera body and th wethersealed body and lenses they have. Also the 2x cropfactor is very good for nature photograhpy and the compact lenses they have. Also the weight is helping most lenses are lighter then the competition.
I am using the following gear:
- Olympus E-3
- Zuiko Digital ED 12-60mm f2.8-4 SWD (HG)
- Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm f2.8-3.5 SWD (HG)
- Zuiko Digital ED 300mm 2.8 f2.8 (SHG)
- Zuiko Digital EC-20 (HG)
- Zuiko Digital EC-14 (SHG)
- Olympus EX-25
SHG stands for Super High Grade glass
HG stands for High Grade glas
I now have the following gear added to my equipment:
- Canon 40D
- Canon Extender 1.4x II
- Tokina ATX-PRO 11-16mm F2.8 DX
- Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC Macro
- Sigma 150mm F2.8 EX APO DG Macro
- Canon 70-200 F4 IS USM
- Canon 300mm F4 IS USM
- Canon 500mm F4 IS USM
For my nature photographs, I am using also an Ameristep TMC Doghouse blind and a great Feisol carbon fiber CT-3371 Tripod with a Benro KS1 ball-head. I use a Benro GH-1-head for my heavy 500mm lens.
