Photography

And so, who takes pictures? What camera do you use? What type of film? What type of subjects do you photograph?

My camera of choice has quickly become my 35 mm Canon EOS Rebel K2. I alternate between the EF 28-135 mm and EF 28-300 mm lenses, depending on what I need. My primary interest is black and white, so I use handy, reliable Tri-X 400, which is wonderful for photographing still objects in shadowy conditions.

I used to use a Canon EOS 600, and I love it and miss it, since I do not photograph a lot anymore, and if so, use a digital camera now. But the EOS 600 has been a fantastic device with superb handling. I concentrated on landscape shots, animals, and macro motives. Most I used a 28-80mm, had a apochromatic 75-300mm as an allrounder always in my bag, and did a lot of nature shots with a 600mm refractor (?). Film of choice was a special Agfa film, 100 and 200 ISO, for paper, and for slides, Kodak.I don't use that equipement anymore, and only occasionally do some snapshots with a Canon Powershot A75, that is a lot of camera for little money - I bought it when it was phased out and thus got almost 55% price reduction.When it comes to cameras and picture stuff, I am hardcore fan of Canon. My cameras are Canon, my scanner is Canon, my printer is Canon, and both items are much better than the Minolta (Dynax, only for a short while), Agfa (Scanner) and Epson stuff I had before.

I've got a Panasonic DMC-FZ30 digital camera. 8MP/12x optical zoom. I'm still learning the tricks so I think that'll do just fine for that.

I am also a fan of Canon. Recently, I bit the bullet and purchased a Powershot A530. As compact cameras go, it has very nice features, and I will admit that digital photography is convenient, but it will, for me, never replace good old film. You will never get the same quality, but it seems that 35 mm fading quickly. Since Nikon dropped 35 mm, Canon is the only major company that produces them anymore.

Still got my trusty Olympus OM-10 from an old college photography class. Unlike my recently demised digital camera it keeps working even after you drop it.
