The current kit... [View all]



Cameras, L-R: Nikkormat EL wearing a Nikkor-S 50/1.4 and Hanimex flash, Nikon D7100 wearing a Nikkor AF-S 18-300/3.5-6.3 VR and Nikon SB-800 flash, Nikon D5100 wearing a Tamron 18-270/3.5-6.3 VC.

Lenses, L-R: Zoom-Nikkor 35-200/3.5-4.5, Nikkor 35/1.8, Micro-Nikkor 55/3.5.

My favorite is actually the Nikkormat; with the 50mm lens and Tri-X 400 pushed to 1600 it's not "retro" in any way…it's an absolutely period-correct 1972 punk/street rig. Camera, lens, and film were all available before Blondie dropped their first album.

And yes I do plan on getting out and shooting, but family pictures are always fun!
