Titolo: A chi interessa: John Shaw Camera Equipment

MY CAMERA EQUIPMENT
While camera equipment itself does not take pictures -- photographers do
that -- I am frequently asked as to the equipment I use.  Here is a listing
of my currently used gear.  Don't go out and duplicate this list; buy the
equipment you need to take the photographs you like.
I normally carry all equipment in a Lowepro Pro Trekker photo backpack.
This large pack has the best harness and strap system of any backpack on the
market, consequently it's comfortable to carry all day in the field.  When
I'm working strictly from a vehicle I keep some gear in an ancient shoulder
bag and transfer equipment as needed to the Lowepro.
Here's what I currently use:
Cameras:
Two Nikon F5 bodies
Lenses and filters (all Nikon):
17-35mm f2.8
28-70mm f2.8
80-200mm f2.8
300mm f2.8 AF-S + 1.4X and 2X TC-E teleconverters,
       ...or...
            300mm f4 AF-S + 1.4X TC-E
                (depending upon the photographic situation)
Nikon A2 warming filters and circular polarizers for all lenses
If I plan on working birds and mammals I add a 500mm f4 AF-S lens, carried
in a Domke long lens bag.
Accessories:
Nikon SB-28 flash unit + off-camera cord
Walt Anderson's Better Beamer Flash X-tender
SIngh-Ray 1- and 2-stop graduated ND filters + Cokin filter holder and
adapters
Nikon MC-30 remote release
Photoflex LiteDisc 42" diffuser and 12" reflector
Macro:
For macro work I normally use the 200mm f4 Micro-Nikkor lens, occasionally
adding a 5T or 6T Nikon closeup diopter.  For high magnification I use the
105mm f2.8 Micro + extension tube + 2X teleconverter.
Light weight:
My minimal outfit when size and weight are overriding concerns is an F5 body
with the 28-70mm, 80-200mm, and 300mm f4 lenses, plus filters and remote
release.   This is all carried in an ancient Dana Designs fanny pack.
Tripods:
I always photograph from a tripod.  The number of handheld photos I take per
year, aside from total flash shots, is minuscule.   My standard tripod is
the Gitzo 340 legs with a Kirk BH-1 ball head complete with an Arca-style
quick release (all cameras and lenses have quick-release plates mounted on
them).  For long lens action photography with my 500mm I switch to a Gitzo
410 with a Wimberley head.  When weight is a concern I use the Gitzo 1348
carbon fiber legs.
Panoramic gear:
Fuji GX617 (6x17cm format) with 90mm f5.6 and 180mm f6.7 lenses, ground
glass focusing back.

 > Il suo migliore di quelli editi da Reflex e' "Fotografare nella natura".
il migliore tra i due ?
La settimana scorsa ho comprato anch'io "guida completa alla macrofoto"
John Shaw.
Devo dire che è eccezionale tratta l'argomento in maniera pressochè
esauriente, oltre l'immaginabile.
Vi sono foto scattate in modalità diverse, e da ciò si capisce da che
cosa dipende questo, che cosa provoca quello, e così via.
Sono contento anche perchè eviterò di porre nel NG domande troppo ovvie
ed inutili......  :-))))
PS.   (ditemi però qual è da preferire tra i due di sopra !)
ciao
Ale
