Your gear list through the years

After a lot of thought, this is probably the full list. Amazing how I could pull some of the model numbers from memory or without looking at the equipment!

1) Argus DC3200 1.3MP - (Almost was too embarrassed to list it, it probably was the worst camera on the planet)

2) Fuji Finepix 2650 2MP

3) Sony P8 3.2MP

4) Minolta X-700 35mm SLR
- Minolta 28mm f/2.8 MD
- Minolta 50mm f/1.7 MD
- Minolta 85mm f/2.8 Varisoft
- Soligor 80-200mm f/4.5 MC
* With M42 to MD adapter
- Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 20mm f/4 - "The Flek"
- Jupiter-9 85mm f/2

5) Canon S1 IS 3.2MP

6) Canon Rebel XTi
- Canon EF 28mm f/2.8
- Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 - "Nifty Fifty"
- Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 - "Fantastic Plastic", Backup 50
* I do have a M42 to EOS adapter although I don't use it on the XTi too often, its more fun to use those lenses on the X-700.

I still use the X-700, S1, and XTi regularly, although the X-700 has been getting the most love lately.

Hehehe I don't think I could even start on this list...
But for humor sake, my first digital camera was a Fuji MX-1200 1.3MP, and I think at the time with taxes I paid nearly 900$ for it when it hit the storefront... Damn we've come a long way!

My list reads like Gemologist's - Lots of it and it's all over the place. Heck, I even have something he doesn't - A digital projector for working with liquid emulsions. Yep, create the photograph right in the darkroom and at the same time have it exposed onto the media. Paint the emulsion onto whatever, project the image onto the emulsion and that's it.

reply to Exit
It's funny......Henri Cartier-Bresson (considered by many to be the greatest photographer ever) used a 35mm Leica and a 50mm lens for more than 90% of his work.

Simplicity does have it's benefits.

FILM:

Kodak Instamatic 126 (early 80's)

Where it all started. It sucked, but hey, it was only 50 cents .

My first real camera. Gift from neighbors. Nice, sharp images, as long as I correctly guessed the focus distance and converted from FT->m in my head. ) Automatic NOTHING! Still have it.

High school graduation gift. I got it and the lens new (or nearly new? It was in the original box) for a measly $100 when the department store where I had a summer job was getting rid of their camera department. Still have it.

If I remember correctly, I broke it early in its life ). Lesson learned: Don't give an 8 year old any photo/film/video equipment of any great value.

reply to Exit
Man, you guys have good memories...at least better than mine.

I started buying photo stuff back in the early 70's, Polaroid, Kodak, Mamiya/Sekor eventually gravitating to Canon, Pentax then finally settling on Nikon.
Too many to list and I don't want to hurt my brain.

Computers (dark room): 20" iMac, MacBook Pro, Aperture & PS CS2.

My video camera is a Panasonic.

...................

Heh. What kind of enlargers did you all have?

I had a Vivitar. I made many hundreds of pictures with it.

Enlarger:
Beseler 23CII with the dichro color head. I don't remember what my first B&W one was.

My brain hurts thinking of all the film reels, tanks, pans, chemicals that I used during this time. Tri-X and Pan-X, with Cibachrome near the end of my film processing era.

I'm having trouble listing my PC as a darkroom. Too many years of gaming.

Cameras:
Kodak rangefinders - I burned a lot of flash cubes.
Hanimex Praktica TL
Konica Autoreflex T3
Pentax K1000
...
Sony DSCS-85 rangefinder, it's water resistant.
...
Nikon D60

I never did much color. Seemed like too much of a hassle. My dad was a graphic artist back in the paste-up days, and he got me a job in their photo department, where I resized text using a gigantic camera, processed black and white and color transparencies at 8x10 size and lots of other cool things. Mmmm. Tri-X.
