Camera gear

Working on a new setup for my gear. The new pages will be inserted on this page, underneath that you can still get the full listing as it already was available on this page.

Main gear page

I mainly use Canon cameras and lenses, but in some cases have desires that Canon can’t (yet) deliver. As my interests develop and camera-suppliers deliver new gear, my set will evolve. Some parts will be replaced in time, others will be added to the set. From this page you can view my gear, divided in categories:

Cameras. This is a listing of the cameras that I use for photography. Mainly concert photography, some sports, but as my interests in photography widen, so do my interests in various forms of cameras. besides my Canon cameras there are a few other brands in there as well.

Is there a wishlist?

Ah, I thought you’d never ask ;) Yes there is, even though I am aware I have quite an extensive collection for an amateur. But then I do love camera-gear. And so the chances of ever having enough gear are pretty slim.. Finances providing there are a few things I would really love to add to the collection:

  • Gorillapod SLR Zoom: a small, flexible tripod, still capable of lifting my zoom lenses
  • Canon EF 1.4x Extender II for my 70-200mm and 100-400mm lenses.
  • Canon EF 135fmm f/2.0 L lens, must be one of the best primes out there
  • Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 lens, the other fantastic prime
  • Canon TS-E 45mm f/2.8 Tilt-Shift, there’s now way I can justify buying one for what it costs, but boy do I want one (might also turn out to be a 24mm TS-E as the first generation is getting a lot more affordable now)
  • Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 L IS USM, an incredible tele lens. The 400mm would be even better, but at over 6000 Euro I’m not even fantasizing about that.
  • Daylight lamps for studio photography (no idea just how or what yet, will have to get into that)
