Tools of trade

Or what I’m using to take photos?

Sorted by how often I use them.


Nikon D80 (I didn’t make this photo of D80)
I use following lenses:
Sigma 10-20 f/4.0 – 5.6
Nikkor 50 f/1.8
Nikkor 28 – 70 f/3.5 – 4.5
Tamron 70 – 300 f/4.0 – 5.6

My favorite lens is wide angle sigma, it’s mounted on camera for about 95% of time.
I use Cokin P-system gradual filters, Cokin P-system IR filter and B+W 10x 77mm filter.
I have some more 52mm size filters, but they are for nikkors and I rarely use them.

Next by quantity of (ab)use is:

Topcon RE-Super

Completely manual camera, it has ttl light meter, but I don’t have battery that it needs, so I use of camera light meter.
It’s working though. I don’t need to mention that this camera use 35mm film? :)
Lenses are:
35mm, f/2.8
58mm f/1.8
135mm f/3.5

I usually have 135mm lens on this one, because i carry both this camera, and Nikon with wide angle Sigma.

Next one is:

Pinhole camera.

It’s a lottery to have a good photo out of it. You newer know how the photo will turn out. More then often comes nothing, but once in a while something brilliant pops out! :) That’s the reason I like to play with it. You can make your own if you follow directions from matchboxpinhole.com

Flexaret VI

TLR film camera, medium format. I love the square format of MF cameras, and I would use it more often, but price of scanning is turning me off. I hope that I will have my own scanner in some not so distant future.

And youngest family member (not by years, though :) )

Regula IIb

I’ve bought it for couple of Euros only because lens were made here, in Croatia, many many years ago. :) I’ve run
few films trough it and it’s a sweat little camera. I take it often when I want to photograph and don’t want to carry anything heavy.
