A very enthusiastic one, eh? I wouldn't sell any of it, either. Welcome, NiTiggy.

Yeah, well what can I say! Long time amateur. I realised in retrospect others put in flash units/lights/studio gear... I left out everything but lenses and bodies so that I didn't end up with War and Peace.

Haha! It'll just have to be left to the imagination.

I own all the latest stuff, I'd tell you what the model numbers are, but they are all taped up (per Nikon's request and subject to the terms of the NDA), and I'm to much of a hot shot to care anyway.

I own every lens imaginable, but prefer to do most of my shooting with disposable film cameras or point and shoots because "It gets me closer to the person".

I shoot RealRaw (tm) on a digital camera.

I had my D3x modded to shoot IR.

I make HD feature films.

...erm... scratch all that. I do most of my shooting with my trusty D40 and a 35mm f1.8. Everything else is usually in my sweet baby's camera bag (which means hands off for me lol).

This post has generated quite a bit of comments from people with all types of equipment. Also most people here own several lenses that they use. My wife has always been satisfied with one lens and has always questioned the need for multiple lenses that I have. I have tried to explain to her that different types of situations will require different types of lenses.

She has said the same thing to me about all of my tools that I have in the garage and I have used the same explanation to her.

She has concluded that this just must be a guy thing and then I questioned her on how many pairs of shoes and how many purses she has. She says it is not the same thing.

In June we will be married for 33 years so what can I say!

Thanks to all who participated, I think it was interesting to see in others camera bag.

I actually rarely carry my gear in my camera bag. I mostly just use it to carry more beer ;^)

Perhaps a fast prime instead and two more cans?

7 years for me this year, and we have the same conversations. It's nice to get that little window to the future. I'm not sure why I thought one of us would somehow change between now and then!

Niko, I like that you're rockin' the D100 like the old schooler that you are. ;-) Seriously, I have to say I don't miss that camera. It was fun while it lasted, though.

That's not a D100, the D100 had the slot in the shutter button for a wired shutter release, and the D100 had the consumer like mode dial. Looks like a D200 to me.

Being a borrower I'll only state what I fully 100% own and regularly shoot with.

D90 with grip (amazing camera but small image size and lousy frame buffer which is why I'll be degrading this to backup in a month or two)
D80 (good backup)
10.5mm f/2.8 (I liked it better than the zooms)
18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 (I plan to replace this one soon with the 17-35mm f2.8)
50mm f/1.8 (amazing little lens
50mm macro f/3.5 (minolta lens with an adapter to nikon f mount)
55mm micro f/2.8 (love it)
80-200mm f/2.8 (age old but a favorite)

sometimes a 300mm Canon f mount f/4 makes it into my bag with an adapter for nikon
There is a lot of other equipment that I own but don't use usually due to the f stop or because it is another system.

As for above it looks like a D200

Yes, you're right, PB PM and kyoshi. It's a D200.
