What gear do I use

I started photography with Minolta bodies and lenses. First I used analog equipment. I was very pleased with my Minolta setup. I even made the change to digital with a Minolta 7D. I found it a very good and reliable piece of equipment. I made a change to Canon when Sony took over Minolta. Who wants  a "My First Sony". Just kidding, I wasn't sure if Sony would develop the DSLR.

What's in the bag

Canon EOS 5D

I really like this Full Frame body. Image quality is excellent. 

Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM

Great all-round lens. When used at the wide end (24mm) there is a little vignetting around the corners.

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM

I really like this lens. It's sharp and relatively cheap. Another important factor for me it's that not that heavy.

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM

The newest addition to my collection. I have not much experience with this one but one thing I can say that it's sharp. See image below. It is the internal of a harddisk. Because it is so sharp, I had a hard time dealing with dust particles on the shiny disk platters.

Canon Speedlite 430EX

I am not a big fan of on camera flash. The 5D doesn't have it's own flash so I have to use it once in a while.

Last but not least

Lenspen

I really love this gadget. It removes dust and specks like nothing else. Forget about everything else. Use the lenspen. I really love it.
