Like many here, I have watched Guy buy and sell at a sometimes amazing rate (and we have bought and sold to each other in the process!), so the other evening I was wondering what gear Guy was using these days—it was Canon FF with Leica and Zeiss glass for quite a while (and we met on Fred's "Alternative Gear and Lenses" thread due to this); then the Leica M8 and M9—but I have not heard recently.
So I though I would start this thread to fine out!
I'll start: a brace of Nikon D700s; 14–24/2.8 (this was the lens that took me out of Canon and the Leica/Zeiss path); 28/2.8, 35/2, 35-70/2.8, 60/2.8G, 85/1.8, 105/2.5 micro VR, 180/2.8. The 24 and 85 PC-E lenses.
I shoot large and small products and architecture; hence the particular mix of lenses.
I had one of the first D3 bodies in Australia, but sold that as soon as the D700 came out; the D700 is much closer to the Nikon F2As I had, and I can always add the grip for the longer/heavier lenses if needed.
As most of my work ends up on the net or in brochures, the 12Mp "limitation" of the D700 is not a problem for me. I will get the D3x once the price comes down further, or when that sensor is available in the D700-shape body.
And because this is where most of my work ends up, I have been able to resist MF digital!!!
