Equipment

[Hairyman]

First things first. Can we please keep pissing competitions to a minimum in this thread. I use Canon stuff because that is where I started by accident and it would now be too expensive to feed my addiction with anything else.

You may adore Nikon, Pentax, Olympus, Hasselblad, Leica etc ad nauseam. Thats OK with me. I'm pretty values neutral with photo gear.

There are plenty (http://forums.zgeek.com/forumdisplay.php?f=67) of other (http://forums.zgeek.com/forumdisplay.php?f=5) places (http://forums.zgeek.com/forumdisplay.php?f=108) in the forums (http://forums.zgeek.com/showthread.php?t=40938) to moan, bitch, whine and carry on.
