I use two camera bodies.

One is the Canon EOS 50e (also known as Elan IIe).

 

The second one is my old Canon EOS 1000FN (also known as Rebel S II).


I use mainly two lenses:

One is Tamron's 28-200 F/3.8-5.6 LD IF Super. The only 28-200 lens that allows close focusing (minimum focusing distance 0.5m, at 135 mm). Internal focusing (IF) is also very conveniant, when using polarisers and graduate filters.

The second one is Canon's 20-35 F/2.8 USM. A fine ultra wideangle lens.

I sometimes also use my old Canon 35-80 F/3.5-4 USM lens:

I use the Caono Speedlite 540 EZ flash system. A strong flash unit, with Guide number of 54 (m)

 

I use a polarizer, a Cokin graduate ND filter, an 80A filter (for tongsten photography) and a Cokin orange filter (for B&W photography)
