Lens |
FX / DX(1.5x crop) |
Notes |
18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 |
DX |
not used much now, zoom action slightly gritty |
55-200mm f/4-5.6 |
DX |
rarely used |
35mm f/1.8 |
DX |
often used for the speed (2155664) |
18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 |
DX |
"lenscap" on the D90 (32073744) |
10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 |
DX |
used often for arty, in-your-face shit |
105mm f/2 DC |
FX |
for portraits, a bit long on DX bodies, haven't played with it enough yet; screw-drive AF |
80-200mm f/2.8 |
FX |
bought second-hand in great condition, heavy, must-have for most events; screw-drive AF |
300mm f/4 |
FX |
massive reach on DX bodies, AFS works even on the D40, will be great for long-distance events like marine sports |
50mm f/1.4 |
FX |
finally an FX lens with practical focal length! |
70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 |
FX |
long tele-zoom that's tiny compared to the 300/4 and only a stop slower; has VR! |
16-35mm f/4 |
FX |
wide-zoom for FX, roughly parallel to the 10-24mm DX; this rounds out the requisite FX set |
Lighting
- SB-400
- SB-600
- SB-700 - (2007744)
- EF-20 for the x100
Support
- Cheapo tripod from a maker whose name was probably chosen to sound like another, well-respected maker
- Does the job nicely though
- Investigate the Manfrotto 7301YB-BB or 7322YB-BB (ball-head?) at Ayu's suggestion
